If your favorite flavor is Pralines ‘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 be scrupulous, conscientious and a moral perfectionist.

If your favorite flavor is Chocolate Chip, you’re more likely to be generous, competent and a go getter.

If your favorite flavor is Rainbow Sherbet, you’re more likely to be analytic, decisive and a pessimistic.
