Baskin-Robbins is keeping its celebration of National Ice Cream Month going by revealing what a person’s favorite ice cream flavor says about them, and by offering its fans the chance to win a year’s worth of Baskin-Robbins ice cream through its National Ice Cream Day Twitter sweepstakes.

Baskin-Robbins recently partnered with Dr. Alan Hirsch, a nationally recognized smell and taste expert and founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, to identify what some of the most popular ice cream flavors suggest about someone's personality. 

The findings uncovered some interesting insights into ice cream fans’ unique characteristics based on their favorite Baskin-Robbins ice cream flavor.

"We uncovered quite a few surprising findings when investigating what a person’s favorite ice cream flavor says about their personality," Hirsch says. "For instance, we found that people who prefer Rainbow Sherbet are more pessimistic than you would think, in spite of the flavor’s bright taste profile, and that those who prefer Rocky Road are actually very good listeners.”

Here are some of the surprising results from the study:

• If your favorite flavor is Vanilla, you’re more likely to be impulsive, easily suggestible, and an idealist.
• If your favorite flavor is Chocolate, you’re more likely to be dramatic, lively, charming, flirtatious, seductive, and gullible.
• If your favorite flavor isVery Berry Strawberry, you’re more likely to be tolerant, devoted, and an introvert.
• If your favorite flavor isMint Chocolate Chip, you’re more likely to be argumentative, frugal, and cautious.
• If your favorite flavor isChocolate Chip Cookie Dough, you’re more likely to be ambitious, competitive, and a visionary.
• If your favorite flavor isPralines ‘n Cream, you’re more likely to be loving, supportive, and prefer to avoid the spotlight.
• If your favorite flavor is Jamoca(i.e. coffee),you’re more likely to bescrupulous, conscientious, and a moral perfectionist.
• If your favorite flavor isChocolate Chip, you’re more likely to be generous, competent, and a go-getter.
• If your favorite flavor isRainbow Sherbet, you’re more likely to be analytical, decisive, and pessimistic.
• If your favorite flavor isRocky Road, you’re more likely to be aggressive, engaging, and a good listener.
