Drink your coffee black? Congrats, you're a psychopath.

Ok, ok. It's just an article. Interesting reasons why.
Bullshit? Most likely.

"Researchers at the University of Innsbruck in Austria asked more than 1,000 men and women to self-report their taste preferences and answer a questionnaire that assessed their Machiavellianism, psychopathy, narcissism, everyday sadism, trait aggression, and the Big Five factors of personality.

What they found that those who preferred bitter flavors often exhibited qualities that make them appear bitter themselves. In addition, these people often revealed sadistic or even psychopathic characteristics. In other words, evidence shows that people with psychopathic tendencies tend prefer their coffee black."

The article is much more in-depth about tastes, sweets, different foodstuffs

 

[IronWing]

No, thank you, I take it bitter, sadistic, or even psychopathic, like my men.

 

[lxskllr]

Duh... I didn't need a study to tell me that

:^P

[highland145]

Well, that explains a lot.

Now get the eff off my newly tilled lawn.

 

[lxskllr]

tilled lawn.

I'm intrigued. Gonna plant soybeans?

 

[Mayne]

I get bitter when there is no milk for my morning coffee

 

[dave_the_nerd]

I like black coffee, but only because i have toxic preconceived notions about masculinity. In private, I'm a very warm and caring person.

 

[WelshBloke]

Black but only because I can't be arsed to warm and froth milk.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

black coffee lets you taste the coffee, without covering it up with sugar or milk

That's the problem.

One study doesn't mean all that much, and we will need to see more studies to back this up.

How long are you willing to let these psychopaths roam at large?

I highly doubt that the average person can easily spot psychopaths at all.

Just watch them order coffee.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

That's the problem.

whats wrong with that

 

[esquared]

Just watch them order coffee.

Ha ha ha ha.

Sit at Starbuck's or Peet's and enter them into a spreadsheet when they yell the name.

 

[esquared]

Probably drinks black coffee in this mug.

 

[DigDog]

So basically italy, spain, portugal, france, brasil, argentina, chile, venezuela and about 20% of the rest of the world are psychopaths.

Math adds up.

 

[snoopy7548]

I put a little bit of cream in the coffee I drink at work, probably because it's terrible, but otherwise I take it black. When I was in Australia and I ordered a coffee, they would always give me a "long black." It was really freaking good.

 

[Fir]

Crazy people put sugar in their coffee. That's gross!

It makes them mean, Lord it makes them mean.

Well...yeah, I like my coffee black, but mostly, I like my coffee like I like my women...ground up and in the freezer.

 

[TXHokie]

I drink coffee, not sweet coffee flavored milk.

 

[Exterous]

He's probably justifiably concerned about unfounded connections between black coffee and being a psychopath. I mean I can personally assure you the lack of flavor additives in my coffee has nothing to do with the heads in my freezer.
