The Way You Spread Butter On Toast Says A Lot About Your Personality, According To A Research

Some psychologist claims the way you butter your toast can say a lot about your personality. For example, if you just toss some butter on and glide the knife across once or twice, you’re probably laid back and easygoing. If you make sure there’s “total coverage,” you’re precise and like to be in control.

They had some psychologists weigh in on how different people do it, and what it says about you. Here are nine buttering techniques, and what each one supposedly means:

1. The Glider

You just toss some butter on, glide it across the bread once or twice, and eat. It means you’re laid back, easygoing, and okay with change.

2. Total Coverage

Every square inch of the bread MUST have butter. You’re methodical, precise, organized, and like to be in control.

3. The Clumper

Minimal spreading. Just one or two pads of butter mashed into the bread. You think outside the box and like to do things your way. You also tend to be late a lot.

4. Would You Like Some Toast with That Butter?

If you use WAY more butter than most people, you probably have a happy disposition, enjoy life, and don’t mind overindulging.

5. The Crust-Avoider

You butter the middle of the bread but don’t go to the edges. It’s a sign you’re extremely neat. You don’t want to make a mess, so you make sure you “butter inside the lines.”

6. The Double-Sider

You spread butter on both sides. It’s a sign you’re creative, live by your own rules, and don’t mind being the “weird” one.

7. Tear-and-Spread

Where you tear pieces off and butter them individually. You’re fun, outgoing, and think differently. And you probably have good communication skills, because you have to explain yourself a lot.

8. The Curler

They’re referencing a specific utensil called a butter curler. If you use anything other than a knife to butter your bread, it means you’re smug and tend to think YOUR way is the best way. You’re also good at puzzles.
