TOP STORIES

Research proves what we intuitively know: Our tastes often predict our personality traits. And there are few foods that better symbolize the spirit of togetherness at the heart of the holidays than our favorite Thanksgiving dessert. Just find the festive treat you love best to learn about your warmest traits.

Pumpkin pie: You’re an open-minded explorer

Though a traditional dessert, your favorite pie speaks to your willingness to venture off the beaten path. From ginger to nutmeg, the variety of vibrant spices that lend this dessert its distinctive flavor appeals to people with a palate as uninhibited as their mind is open. You likely crave novelty, whether you’re trying a new twist on a pumpkin pie recipe (salted caramel, anyone?) or traveling to exciting new places.

Chocolate pie: You’re a go-getter

If passion had a flavor, it would be chocolate. Whether you prefer a light mousse or dense torte, you are equal parts romantic and ambitious. The only thing more impressive than your goals might be your formidable work ethic. And this season sparks your inner fire more than any other: Just the thought of the holidays makes you dream big and give thanks for those who helped you get where you are.

Pecan pie: You’re a nurturing protector

Assertive people tend to favor crunchy foods like nuts. Your power rests not in overt displays of authority, but in quiet leadership and arguably the most important show of strength there is: moral character. Drawn to comforting, down-to-earth flavors of vanilla, cinnamon and, of course, pecans, you are a fierce nurturer.

Rhubarb or berry pie: You’re an outgoing charmer

With both sweet and tangy notes, rhubarb has a relatively complex flavor profile—one fitting a complicated person. Just as your favorite holiday dessert is a bit unusual, so do you follow the beat of your own drummer. Sociable and charismatic, you’re a great conversationalist precisely because you’re an iconoclastic thinker, able to reference everything from classic novels to pop culture icons.

Banana cream pie: You’re a sensitive diplomat

When it comes to the intersection of our emotions and our taste buds, there is one truism: Sensitive people tend to favor creamy textures. No wonder you’re a fan of this Midwestern classic. Serene and thoughtful, you are the embodiment of “still waters run deep” and often find yourself taking on the role of peacemaker over the holidays.

Apple pie: You’re an imaginative child at heart

Yes, this all-American dessert speaks to your traditional tastes, but you may be surprised that it also hints at your artistic flair. Because apple is one of the very first flavors we’re exposed to as babies, those who favor it as adults tend to retain the childlike wonder at the heart of all creative endeavors. Curious and effervescent, you exude a joy for life that is positively contagious.

Sweet potato pie: You’re a nostalgic planner

Not many flavors say “Thanksgiving!” as emphatically as sweet potato. Your love affair with this pie reflects your fondness for all things autumnal—as well as your place at the center of your family. Dynamic and organized, you’re as likely to gather the troops for a leaf-peeping trip as you are to gather recipes for an heirloom family cookbook.
