You Might Be A Psychopath If Black Coffee Is Your Favorite Drink

When psychologists talk about the term “psychopath”, they want to refer to an extremely dangerous personality disorder. Those considered as psychopath have the tendency to be antisocial and lack some normal feelings, like remorse or empathy. It’s worth mentioning that they often like to manipulate others.

In recent reports, scientists have given a solution to differentiate psychopaths among the normal people: That’s based on their taste.

Originating from Austria’s University of Innsbruck reports, these reports introduce an assumption: How you enjoy your coffee will determine whether you might be a psychopath or not. Moreover, if black coffee is your favorite drink, you might have higher violent or psychopathic tendencies than others.

More than 1,000 adults were chosen to take part in a survey regarding their flavor preferences and 4 various personality tests. These tests were given to evaluate distinguishing characteristics such as psychopathy, aggression, sadism, and narcissism.

According to the scientists, the results showed a slight positive interrelation between a psychotic tendency and the hobby towards bitter tastes, like black coffee. They also said that people who are in love with sweet tastes, for example, sugary coffee or milky coffee, are often warm-hearted and sympathetic. One more fun, the relation between daily sadism and bitter foods can become chronic and worse if it happens in a long time.

In fact, the assumption isn’t completely right because, after that, the scientists acknowledged that their survey may make a mistake: The bitterness level may vary according to tasters.

There are many factors to affect the taste preferences, like personal experiences or cultures. In addition, one person’s taste at the present may be different from that in the future.

Apparently, the abovementioned reports should be only considered as a reference. Hence, you should refer to many sources before completely believing any scientific report.
