As more and more studies are being conducted to understand the complex personality types of humans, psychologists are now coming up with numerous evidence that shows food choices playing a significant role in determining usual temperament and actions of people. No doubt that the human tongue does switch to different tastes in line with the mood and occasion; however, the type of food people usually crave for speaks volumes about their nature and personality. The scientific findings based on the relationship between different types of food categories and human behavior have proved helpful in many arenas; especially in the corporate sector for drawing basic assumptions about clients and pleasing them accordingly. Although the general traits associated with the 5 basic food groups (sweet, salty, sour, spicy and bitter) might not be true for everyone, yet many studies bear out their plausibility for the majority of population.

- Those with the Appetite for Salty Snacks!
The lovers of salty food are bold, outspoken and highly expressive. These people are highly ambitious, goal driven and quite hasty.

But they also tend to come out of their emotional turmoil easily and think of wise solutions to a problem.
