Your daily breakfast choice might reveal more about yourself than you imagine. According to a study commissioned by the British Egg Industry Council, your style of eggs can predict everything from your personality to your fashion sense.
Over 1,000 adults took a detailed survey about their lifestyle, family life, and, how they cook their eggs. The results revealed that childless adults typically prefer a more leisurely breakfast of scrambled eggs, while those with four or more kids opt for fast fried eggs.
The choice might even be linked to your profession - with manual workers, casual laborers, and the unemployed generally choosing fried eggs.
Poached eggs
Using a mathematical technique called the Generalized Linear Regression Model, the researchers used their survey results to predict character and lifestyle traits based on egg choices.
This revealed that poached eggs are generally the favorite choice of fathers with two children.
Poached egg lovers are also likely to come from small families themselves, with no more than one older brother or sister.
In terms of their personality, fans of poached eggs tend to be the life of the party -you are likely to be socially outgoing and extroverted.
You may also have a tendency to wear flashy 'decorative clothing' and have a passion for upbeat music.
After all that, it might not come as a surprise to learn that poached egg lovers are also happier than most people on average.
Boiled eggs
Those who listed boiled eggs as their preferred choice had a greater tendency to be disorganized, careless, and impulsive.
This group also scored lower for conscientiousness, which is the psychological propensity to be responsible, organized, hardworking, and goal-oriented.
Perhaps related to these points, boiled egg lovers are also more likely to be women and run a greater risk of getting divorced at some point in their lives.
Fried eggs
According to the survey, fried egg lovers are employed in some form of skilled labor.
They are also likely to come from big families, with multiple brothers and sisters and at least four children of their own.
In stark contrast to those who like their eggs boiled, fried egg enjoyers are free-spirited individuals.
If you always take your eggs sunny-side up, you are probably open to new experiences, are creative, curious, and imaginative.
You may also have a better than normal ability to vividly recall your dreams in the morning.
Additionally, those who prefer fried eggs are better informed about sex, have a wider array of sexual experiences, and stronger sex drives than average.
Scrambled eggs
Based on this data, scrambled eggs are the go-to choice for the young professional.
If scrambled eggs are top of your breakfast menu, you're probably childless, between the ages of 29 and 39, and likely to live in a city.
You are also more likely to be in a managerial or senior-level job and to own your home.
Psychologically, scrambled egg fans tend to score lower for neuroticism.
That means they experience anger, sadness, or anxiety less frequently and less intensely than other people.
However, people in this group are also more guarded and less open to other people.
Omelettes
If you somehow find time to make yourself an omelette in the morning, then you probably have your life together to an impressive degree.
And the data from this study agrees, as people who selected omelette as their favorite were more reliable, well-organized, and self-disciplined.
Unsurprisingly, these paragons of virtue are also more likely to have tidy homes.
To make things even better, omelette eaters tend to have longer life expectancies, lower rates of divorce and are more likely to be a professional.
