Psychologist Joe Hemmings says that the way you eat ice cream can tell you something about your personality.

How exactly do you eat ice cream or popsicles? Do you bite straight away, lick your teeth, or take a small bite so that some ice cream melts on your tongue?

If you eat ice cream straight away, you are a bold, impulsive person who is not afraid to take risks and act quickly. People like this are often very sociable.

If licking is tastier, then you are calm and measured. The psychologist says these people are careful, pay attention, and romantically see the world. They need to enjoy the process and make the most of the experience.

But those who take their time, savouring every mouthful, are usually careful, emotionally mature, and think things through. They can control their emotions, but they can get a little anxious.

Interestingly, the speed at which you eat ice cream can also affect how much you gain. People who eat quickly are usually impatient and energetic. They like to get pleasure quickly. On the other hand, slow eaters are sensitive and thoughtful, paying attention to details like taste, texture, and temperature.

According to Hemmings, a love of ice cream is a sign that someone wants to enjoy life, is nostalgic, and can appreciate simple things. People who do this often have a childlike part of their personality.
