According to a study commissioned by the British Egg Producers, your favorite way of preparing and enjoying this popular food can reveal a lot about your personality.

Researchers surveyed over 1,000 adults living in the United Kingdom. The questions primarily focused on how respondents preferred to eat eggs. Participants were also asked about their, marital status, profession, employment status, personality traits, and more.

Using a mathematical method known as generalized linear regression modeling, the researchers predicted the characteristics of the participants.

Spoiler alert: the results showed that childless adults tend to prefer a leisurely breakfast of scrambled eggs. Meanwhile, omelet lovers are often goal-oriented individuals who rarely get divorced, according to theDaily Mail.

Curious about what your favorite egg dish says about you?

Poached Eggs

If you choose this egg dish every morning, it likely indicates your sociability, extroversion, and love for upbeat music.

Experts also found that poached eggs are often the breakfast of choice for parents of two children. Those who prefer this dish are likely to come from small families, typically with no more than two kids.

This could be related to the fact that perfecting the art of poaching eggs requires a lot of practice, and larger families often don’t have the time for that.

Poached egg enthusiasts are the life of the party. They enjoy wearing bright clothing and, on average, tend to feel happier than others.

According to the study, fans of sunny-side-up eggs often come from large families with several siblings and typically have at least four of their own.

These individuals are free-spirited, open to new experiences, creative, and curious. They have vivid imaginations and are better than others at recalling their dreams in the morning. Additionally, they tend to have more sexual experience and a fairly strong libido.
