WHAT IS YOUR TOILET PERSONALITY?

One of the most revealing indicators of personality type is the way you use the commode, a fascinating new study shows. Which one are you?
This most basic of human behaviors varies widely from person to person and every variation is highly significant, according to researchers.
Here are some of the most basic toilet behaviors and what they reveal about a personality, based on this remarkable research:
THE RELAXER
This person is apt to enjoy his time on the john so much that he will spend from 10 to 30 minutes. As a child, he brings toys to play with, and as an adult he often brings books to read.
The Relaxer tends to be highly curious and innovative. He’s a plodder who always does his duty, but because he hasn’t much motivation, chances of great financial success are slim. This person is pleasant-tempered but lacks a lively sense of humor.
THE EFFICIENT TYPE
This person spends only the bare minimum of time on the john. She’s all business.
The Efficient Type is a high-energy, take-charge person who tends to be egotistical. She’s highly intelligent, but emotionally cold. She can be extremely temperamental and finicky and is often a difficult person to live with.
THE STUFFER
You don’t want to follow this guy in the bathroom. He uses too much toilet paper and forgets to flush. If he can stay too long while others are waiting, all the better.
The Stuffer craves attention and can be tremendously selfish. But he’s often very good at dealing with new ideas and he can cope well with a variety of people. Don’t give him tasks that require precision or accuracy. He’s better at jobs where his optimism and determination are key and he’s definitely an artistic type.
THE FUSSBUDGET
Everything has to be perfect for this person at toilet time. She’s the one who cleans off the seat, turns on the water so no one hears and flushes as she goes to eliminate odor.
The Fussbudget is a great housekeeper and is tops at jobs like accounting or research. She’s a devil to live with, though, because of her constant need for perfection. Don’t expect this person to be creative, but look for traits like competence and dependability. She’ll shoulder responsibility gladly, but she may be hard on employees because she’s so demanding.
THE SOCIALIZER
This guy will go anywhere, anytime – even when there’s someone else in the bathroom with him.
The Socializer is not in the least self-conscious and usually has great self-esteem. He’s adept at working with others and a pleasure to party with. But when it comes to responsibility, avoid the Socializer. He has no follow-through and he tends to shirk his duties.
