Poached, scrambled, boiled or fried- your preference for the type of egg not just tells about culinary tastes but it also highlights personality traits and opens secrets about sex drive, a study has claimed.
In a study for the British Egg Industry Council, scientists quizzed 1,010 adults and found that poached egg eaters are outgoing, boiled egg lovers are disorganised, fried egg fans have a high sex drive, scrambled egg aficionados are guarded and omelette eaters are self-disciplined.
It found that the average poached egg-eater is likely to be happier than most, the Daily Mail reported.
Boiled egg-eaters run the greatest risk of getting divorced.
Fried egg fans are usually from the skilled working class and scrambled eggs are favoured by those without children.
Andrew Joret, of the British Egg Industry Council (BEIC), said: "It's amazing to think that just by knowing someone's favourite way of eating eggs, it's possible to gauge a large amount about who they are and what they are like. But it doesn't matter how you eat your eggs, they're still nutritious, versatile and great value."
The study for BEIC was carried out by Mindlab International, which researches the psychology of consumer choice.
