But more holidays mean more chances to eat pizza, right?
And of course, everyone thinks their own way to dig into a steaming hot slice of pizza is the best. There’s the classic way to dive in, starting point first, or making it fancy with a knife and fork. Going crust first just seems awkward to some. Others employ “the fold,” which is probably the neatest style.
According to Patti Wood, an Atlanta-based body language expert and trainer, you can tell a lot about someone’s personality through his or her preferred way to eat pizza. This past fall, Cosmopolitan asked Wood to categorize pizza-eating styles into behavior profiles based on “DISC,” a program commonly used by corporate human resource departments to evaluate employees: Drivers, Influencers, Supporters, and Careful Correctors.
People who do “the fold” are Drivers: no-nonsense types who like to take care of business. Those who go crust-first are Influencers: innovative, novelty-seekers. Supporters like to be methodical, which explains why they use utensils: Don’t leave anything to chance. Careful Correctors have tried other ways before settling on the easiest: Just pick up a slice and bite!
