REVEALING: What Your Coffee Preference Says About You?

Caribou in Faribault? Starbucks in Owatonna? Little Joy in Northfield, or a Styrofoam cup from the gas station; regardless of WHERE you get your coffee -- the KIND of coffee drink you prefer apparently says a lot about the kind of person you are.

My go-to fancy drink is a Mocha, but a pumpkin-spice latte is tasty too. I've had a couple already this fall. What I really look forward to is the holiday season when I can grab a big eggnog latte. Or as my nephew calls eggnog, 'Christmas Milk.'

According to a story in the Daily Mail, researches have uncovered a link between the type of coffee you prefer and your personality.

• If you like your coffee 'black,' you tend to be a 'non-nonsense' person, as well as abrupt and dismissive.
• If you're a 'latte drinker,' you tend to be more neurotic and eager to please people and often go out of your way to help others, but don't 't take good care of yourself.
• If you prefer sweet coffee drinks, you are a 'socially overgrown kid.'
• And if like decaffeinated, foamy coffees, you tend to be obsessive, controlling and detail-oriented.

I'm sure there could be a whole other set of standards when it comes to how you like to make your coffee at home. Good old fashioned coffee maker (Mr. Coffee and the like), a single-cup Keurig gizmo with the fun little pods, a setup that looks like an oil refinery -- capable of outdoing your local barista, or a cup of boiling water with a heaping tablespoon of instant crystals.

Honestly, to some degree, every one of these descriptions fit me, but ultimately I'm a black-coffee guy. Dark, rich, and simple (and apparently dismissive).
