Their findings? People who prefer unusual toppings such as pineapple or onion tend to be more assertive, achievement-oriented and are born leaders. Those who reach for a single topping of a standard meat like pepperoni are more likely to be nervous and antagonistic; they often procrastinate and “forget” obligations at home or at work. And those who like different multiple meat toppings are dramatic and alluring extroverts who like to be the center of attention.

People who eat their vegetables had the most positive feedback. Those who eat a single vegetable topping are said to be understanding, empathetic, well-adjusted and relaxed, while the people who pile on many veggie toppings are reliable, faithful and trustworthy sorts who say that friendship is the most important thing in life. Or at least that is what the study said.
