Chocolate selection determines personality

Your choice of chocolate can reveal much about your personality, including
your preferences in bed, psychologists argue.
Come to choose one
and we can see your personality. | According to Murray Langham, a New Zealand psychotherapist and author of the
book "Chocolate Therapy: Dare to Discover Your Inner Self," the choice of a
chocolate's shape and filling, as well as how its wrapping is disposed of,
reveals much about people's personality traits and moods.
Milk chocolate lovers, for example, tend to be innocent people who like to
live in the past. Fans of dark chocolate, on the other hand, are materialistic,
problem solvers who are excited by the future. White chocolate aficionados have
an innate sense of fairness and believe they have the power of the universe at
their command.
Langham says he had his idea after noticing that many of his patients enjoyed
a close relationship with chocolate.
"I started asking my clients what sort of chocolates they like to eat," he
once told the British daily The Express, "and I began to notice that people
chose similar confectionery according to their personality."
Langham says he found that by observing his patients' chocolate habits he
could discover more about their personalities than by just asking the patients
straightforward questions about themselves, as psychologists tend to do in
regular therapy.
Langham, who says his best-selling book has attracted widespread interest
among American psychotherapists, says the choice of filling and shape also
reveals much about one's personality and state of mind.
Oval-shaped lovers, for instance, are social and sensual. Those who prefer a
coffee filling are open-minded, but also impatient, anxious and immature.
A perhaps more controversial aspect of "Chocolate Therapy" also holds that
the way a chocolate's wrapper is disposed of brings out people's attitudes about
sex.
Those who crinkle the wrapping before throwing it away tend to have too many
thoughts on their mind and are unable to concentrate in bed. People who roll it
into a ball, on the other hand, are having a boring sex life.
