Salty or Sweet: What Flavor Are You?

People come in all shapes, sizes, and of course, flavors! Some are bitter, some are spicy, others are definitely sour. For this quiz, we stuck to just salty and sweet. But what do those personalities look like? So glad you asked. Here’s a rundown:

Salty personality
Salty people have a bit of an edge. They’re cool and collected, and maybe even a little intimidating, but don’t let that deceive you. Under their bitter exterior is a super soft and friendly interior. They just take a little getting to know, and once you do, they’re totally addicting.

Salty people tend to be independent free-thinkers who are quick to question what they’re told, and like to go against the grain, even if it makes things harder for them. They’re mavericks and sometimes outcasts, but they also make some of the strongest friends and allies.

Sweet personality
Sweet people are exactly what you’d expect: bubbly, warm, friendly, and light a bright ray of light bursting through the clouds. They see the good in everything, and know how to savor the things that make them happy. They’d rather spend time dwelling on the little joys in life than brooding on hardships.

That said, it’s not all daisies. Even sweet people can get sad, angry, or anything else. It’s just that they know those are fleeting feelings, and that in the end, it pays to be an optimist. That’s why they’re always surrounded by friends, who’re just hoping the vibe rubs off on them.

Other personality flavors
Life ain’t all black and white, and there’s more to people than just sweet or salty. In fact, most people are multiple flavors at the same time, or even switch flavors depending on the day. Here are a few more personality flavors to sink your teeth into:

  • Spicy: Sly troublemakers who cause chaos just for fun. These people keep you on your toes and make life much more interesting.
  • Savory: Tough, reliable, and nourishing, these are the “mom friends” who check in from time to time and make sure you’re doing okay. Pillars of the community.
  • Sour: The haters of the world! Some say we’re better off without them, but we think they play a key role in the ecosystem. After all, a little hating is fun, as long as it’s not too serious or mean-spirited. It’s just human nature.
  • Bitter: Pessimists who see the glass half empty. You might assume they’re total party-poopers, but they provide much-needed balance to the more chipper flavors, and keep us all grounded.
  • Umami: This is sort of like savory, salty and sweet all at once. These people are something of a mystery, and you can never quite pin them down, but you could also never live without them.
