People Who Prefer Black Coffee Are More Likely To Have Psychopathic Or Sadistic Traits, Study Finds (rd.com)
A new study conducted at the University of Innsbruck in Austria finds that people who drink their coffee black often has psychopathic or sadistic traits. The study surveyed more than 1,000 adults about their taste preferences with foods and drinks that are bitter. They also took four different personality tests that assessed traits like narcissism, psychopathy, sadism, and aggression. From a report: Researchers found a trend that suggested a correlation between preferences for black coffee, and other bitter tastes, and sadistic or psychopathic personality traits. They also found that people who enjoyed milky or sugary coffee, and other sweet flavors, generally tended to have more "agreeable" personality traits like sympathy, cooperation, and kindness. The closest correlation found in the study was between bitter foods, like radishes and tonic water, and "everyday sadism," or the enjoyment of inflicting moderate levels of pain on others. The researchers went further, suggesting that this association between bitter foods and psychopathic tendencies could "become chronic" and get worse with time.
I develop psychopathic and Sadistic Traits when I'm in line to order a coffee and the person(s) before me, ask for a double cream, piñata, spicey, cassonade, maple, cappuccino, with a gest of cittrus some cannelle and stuff like that
Ceci n'est pas une Signature !
If you're interviewing for a job and the interviewer offers you coffee, be sure to take cream and sugar even if you normally don't. Otherwise you might be signalling you're a psychopath or sadist. Of course, the reverse advice applies if you are applying for a police or correctional officer position.
If I can be modded down for being a troll, can I be modded up for being an orc, or a balrog?
This one fact completely explains pretty much the entire series of Star Trek Voyager.
I love black coffee, radishes, bitter-sweet chocolate, and gin and tonic. And I hope everyone involved in this study dies in a fire.
I take like 80% milk.
No, you take your milk with 20% coffee.
They mention previous studies where bitter taste preference was associated with more openness. So exhibitionism. Check.
It doesn't affect me. I'm going to find the POS authors of the study and kick the shit out of them.

"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Starbucks Americano."
Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
They've done legit double blind studies and drip coffee is considered best.
love is just extroverted narcissism
How did you come by that information Mr BankRobberMBA?
Wouldn't they just give you a job? Surely a sadist is still suited to that line of work.
