A study published recently in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology revealed that people who have a special fondness for sweet flavors (candies, cakes, chocolate …) are more friendly and are more predisposed to help and collaborate in a way disinterested, which indicates that there is a relationship between personality and eating behavior. However, those with a sweet tooth are also less outgoing than the average of the population.
In contrast, the research results found no relationship between the predilection for the remaining four basic flavors (salty, sour, bitter, umami) and the subjects' personality.
