Ever wondered what your sandwich preferences say about you? Whether you prefer thick or thin slices of bread, white or granary, with or without crusts, butter, or strawberry jam—these choices reveal more about your personality than you might think. This insight comes from a study conducted for Roberts Bakery and Duerr's by Dr. Sandi Mann, a lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire and experienced psychologist.
For instance, if you spread butter evenly right to the edges, you're likely a perfectionist. Removing the crusts? You may struggle when things don't go your way.
"The way we prepare and eat our sandwiches and apply jam might seem instinctive," explains Dr. Mann, "but each person makes a series of choices at breakfast—driven by habits, unconscious biases, and eating style—that reveal a lot about our personality."
Dr. Mann's team analyzed breakfast habits to identify 15 distinct profiles: the angelic, the trendy, the sensation seeker, the YOLO, the perfectionist, the protector, the tribe leader, the all-round success, the player, the rebel, the pacifist, the tension-avoider, the indulgent, the cool one, and the friend everyone wants.
