Black coffee drinkers more likely to be psychopaths!?

According to a new study, people with a preference for bitter tastes (ie black coffee & tonic water) are more likely to be psychopaths

  • Drink your coffee black?

  • I’ve got some bad news…

  • According to a new study, people with a preference for bitter tastes (ie black coffee, celery, beer and tonic water) are more likely to be psychopaths!

  • In the test, participants were asked to rate sweet, salty, bitter and sour items while answering personality questionnaires and a “Comprehensive Assessment of Sadistic Tendencies” to assess their personality for traits such as psychopathy and narcissism.

  • One such question was: “Given enough provocation, I may hit someone”.

  • The results of the study showed bitter taste preferences to be “positively associated with malevolent personality traits, with the most robust relation to everyday sadism and psycopathy”. 
  • However, concerns have been raised by Gizmodo who say that participants were asked about their taste preferences rather than being given something to taste-test. On this basis, Gizmodo suggests that our perceptions of what we do and don’t like might differ from our actual preferences. 
  • The study was published in the scientific journal Appetite.
