The way you hold your glass can reveal your personality, according to Dr Glenn Wilson, a consultant psychologist in UK…

Glass hold analysis

Dr Wilson, who carried out a research for the Walkabout bar chain, has observed the body language of 500 drinkers and divided them into eight personality types… the flirt, the gossip, the fun lover, the wallflower, the ice-queen, the playboy, Jack-the-lad and brow-beater [more details on BBC]

Quite accurate in my case; how about yours? Or are you old enough to drink yet?

    accurate, but predictable analysis. don’t need expert, we also can tell what kind of people the groups are when we go to pubs. just that we don’t normally make it into a report, but we know.

    Definitely have encountered the Jack the Lad types before. Those guys are my Least favorite kind of people. Those guys and me always clash. I can spot them the minute I walk in the room and I can see the hair raise on their necks when they spot me, lol. Guess I intimidate them. ;) A few dirty looks exchanged but I usually avoid them if possible.

    The ice queen? Sometimes they are just the shy wallflower types in disguise. I get turned off more by the gossip groups. And the so-called fun lovers can be kind of obnoxious sometimes.

    Oh yeah, the browbeater. I don’t mesh with those guys to well either. Loud obnoxious types that you want to shut them up.

    I basically don’t care alot for any of the types mentioned but, that’s only because I’m the type that the Doctor forgot to mention…. “The independent loner”. Not confortable in large group gatherings. Doesn’t always follow the norm thinking. And if I find one or two friends to hang out with occasionally then I’m good but accustomed to not having any most of the time. Doesn’t like to let people get too close to me and my personal life.
