Have you tried the Food Disgust Test? People are calling it the new Myers-Briggs

Forget personality tests and Buzzfeed quizzes – right now there is only one test the internet is talking about.

Have you heard of The Food Disgust test? To be honest we’re feeling a little queasy just at the thought of taking it, but we’re intrigued nonetheless.

The test was created by Christina Hartmann and Michael Siegrist at the Technical University of Zurich following their discovery that people’s feelings of disgust around food can be allotted into eight different categories.

The test consists of 32 statements about food where respondents must use a scale and mark where they feel is right from ‘disagree strongly’ to ‘agree strongly’.

Once the test is done you can find out what disgusts you the most and least surrounding food and you’re given a ‘food disgust score’.

It appears the Myers-Briggs test is out the window after the food disgust test went viral and people are now attempting to make each other feel disgusted with their lowest scores.

One of the lowest scores to appear on one Twitter thread was 12.63%, which means that person’s food disgust level is very low. In fact, the Twitter user owned up to eating sausages that had been expired for three years! Definitely do not try that at home.

Another user, who scored 17.38%, admitted to eating most of a dominos pizza that they found on top of a bin. Again, just don’t do that.

The test is based on eight scales of food disgust: Animal flesh, hygiene, human contamination, mould, fruit, fish, vegetables and insect contaminants.

Disgust around animal flesh can be experienced when lesser eaten parts of animals are served like organs, jaws and snouts.

It can also occur because of the smell of the meat or seeing the meats identifying features like the face and eyes.

Hygiene disgust covers the sanitation around food prep and intake. For example, people could be put off by dirty plates and cutlery.

Human contamination refers to sharing food or utensils with others.

We feel like this one should be quite common, but a lot of people have mould disgust, and rightly so. The Food Standards Agency advises against eating anything that has mould on it.

People who have mould disgust can feel nauseous at the thought of eating food with or that has had mould on it, or at moulds produced under controlled circumstances to elevate the tastes of certain foods (like blue cheese).

If you don’t like eating bruised fruit then it’s likely that you have fruit or vegetable disgust – especially if there is discolouration or a mushy texture.

Fish disgust is usually simply from the smell of raw fish meat while those with disgust at insect contaminations usually lose their appetite if they see a big in their food.

For some it’s just the association of bugs, worms and insects with food or even just seeing a bug elsewhere while eating.

Take the food disgust test yourself to find out your results.
