What Does Your Coffee Order Say About You?
Ten questions about coffee, one uncomfortably accurate result
How somebody takes their coffee tells you nothing scientific and quite a lot socially. The order, the ritual, the hour, the mug - ten questions and you will be told something about yourself that is entirely unproven and probably right.
Before you start There are no right answers. Pick what is usually true for you, not what sounds best.
Answer for your usual, not the one you order when you are trying to impress somebody.
What it measures
Your coffee habits, and nothing else. Any resemblance to your actual personality is a coincidence we are quite pleased with.

Common questions
Does coffee preference really relate to personality?
There is one often-quoted study linking a taste for bitter flavours to certain traits, and it has not replicated well. So: no, not really. This test is for fun, and we say so rather than dressing it up.
I drink tea.
Answer as though the tea were coffee. The result holds up surprisingly well, which tells you roughly how seriously to take any of it.
An honest note This one is for fun. Enjoy it, share it, but do not plan your life around it.
