Can Ice Cream Really Describe Your Personality?

Are you what you eat? Specifically, does your choice of ice cream reveal what type of person you are?

Baskin-Robbins, a large chain of ice cream stores, released information Tuesday morning that suggests personality traits can be matched with the type of ice cream you put in your cone.

"We found that people who prefer Rainbow Sherbet are more pessimistic than you would think in spite of the flavor's bright taste profile," said Dr. Alan Hirsch, the researcher who produced the study. "Those who prefer Rocky Road are actually very good listeners."

Here are some of the results from the ice cream personality study:

• If your favorite flavor is Vanilla, you're more likely to be impulsive, easily suggestible and an idealist.
• If your favorite flavor is Chocolate, you're more likely to be dramatic, lively, charming, flirtatious, seductive and gullible.
