(NAPSI)-Your favorite flavor preference says a lot more about your personality than you know.
Renowned "Flavorologist," Alan R. Hirsch, M.D., the neurological director of the Smell & Taste Research and Treatment Foundation in Chicago, conducted an in-depth analysis of the three KFC® Flavor Station sauces-Honey BBQ, Fiery Buffalo and Sweet & Spicy. The study revealed surprising results in terms of how the different sauce flavor preferences correlated to a person's personality.
"Flavor preference is like an everyday Rorschach Test that can reveal specific personality characteristics," said Dr. Hirsch.
For example, those who prefer Honey BBQ, are the leaders of society. They enjoy the finer things in life and want to be among the best. Always desirous of being a winner, they do not accept defeat and have little tolerance for those who act foolishly. For leisure, they enjoy tooling around in their luxury vehicles or flashy sports cars and enjoy games of tennis (singles only) and competitive golf tournaments.
However, those who prefer Fiery Buffalo tend to be easy going and are more comfortable as followers than leaders. In the work environment they function best in team projects.
They avoid the spotlight, will readily give credit to others and are most successful in occupations in which they can work behind the scenes. Altruistic, they are loyal and true friends and tend to be faithful in romantic relationships, which often involve a more dominating, aggressive and achievement- oriented partner.
Those who love Sweet & Spicy are colorful, flamboyant extroverts who enjoy being the center of attention. Unabashedly flirtatious and provocative risk takers, Sweet & Spicy types enjoy new and exciting experiences in romance, work and social situations. They are well suited to occupations in which they are in the spotlight. Sweet & Spicy types enjoy daring sports like race car driving and skydiving.
"Flavor preferences can tell us a great deal about each other and our character traits," Dr. Hirsch said. "We've uncovered some interesting findings, as I'm sure most would assume Fiery Buffalo lovers would be the aggressive, domineering types and Honey BBQ fans the more passive, accepting personalities. However, surprisingly, this study found just the opposite. Flavor choices are very insightful, so if you're wondering if you and your significant other are compatible, visit KFC and see which KFC Flavor Station wing flavor you prefer."
KFC Flavor Station is available at all U.S. KFC locations. Suggested price is $2.99 for six wings and $7.99 for 18 wings, but may vary slightly.
