If you are sitting at a dinner table at home with family members or are out at a cafe with friends, you will notice that each person has a unique style of eating. Often, the way we eat is not built extra-consciously, meaning that a lot of our eating pattern and style comes naturally. If analysed, our eating habits can give insights into our personality type. Curious? Here are some common eating habits based on speed and food preferences. Pick the one you relate to the most and find out what it says about you!
Here Is What Your Eating Style Says About Your Personality:
Based On Speed:
- The Slow Eater
We all know that one person (or you could be the one), who is always the last one to finish their meals. Slow eaters usually relish each bite of their food and seriously consider the “break” in a lunch break. For them, it is a time to enjoy a good meal, catch up on some gossip or their favourite show, and feel rejuvenated. Eating at a fast speed seems tiring to them. When it comes to their personality, slow eaters are confident in their abilities and do not believe in showing off. They like to be in control or leadership positions. They need me-time or they will feel burned out.
- The Fast Eater
Fast eaters are the ones who are often quick to finish their meal while the rest of the people are halfway through their meal or are still putting food on their plate. Coming to their personality, these people are often 'hungry for more’ in life, which can also be seen as being ambitious as well as action-oriented. They value their time but may lose out on the little joys of life in their race to have it all.

They are a firm believer in 'YOLO' and want to live their life to the fullest. They are not afraid to step out of their comfort zone.
