Chocolate cravings and personality

There aren’t many foods I crave but when I get a craving for chocolate, watch out — I’ll tear the whole house apart looking for a restricted M&M. Chocolate seems to be the #1 food craving among the women I know so I don’t feel too alone in that one.

But here’s an interesting bit of news: Apparently, humans who crave chocolate, particularly when they’re depressed, are more likely to be described as Neurotic. Yikes! But that’s not all — those who crave chocolate are more likely to score high on the following on personality tests: irritability,

rejection sensitivity, anxious worrying, self-criticism. Good lord!

Do these personality traits describe you?
