You can learn a lot about someone by how they like their eggs. You too have a favorite, and the answer is not something wishy-washy like, “Depends on what I’m eating.” If you were on a deserted island and you were given only eggs to eat and you could only choose one style of egg for all of eternity, you know exactly what you’d choose. Scrambled, folded into an omelet, steamed, baked –– there’s no wrong way to eat an egg, but your choice gives more than a little insight into your personality.

How do you like to eat an egg? Make your choice, then read on to see what that says about you.

Scrambled

You’re a loyal friend to the end! Conservative, but always friendly and inclusive of others –– not the life of the party, but always at the party. Sometimes really bland, but whatever — people still like you so who cares.

Omelet

You are the mother figure of your friend group. Always comforting and great at bringing people together. You are passive, which can be a bad thing when you let other people overshadow what you’ve worked hard to accomplish.

Sunny Side-Up

You’ve got a wild side, but an old soul. Someone who wants to travel the world, but ends up reading books on the beach for vacation instead of seeing the sights. You’ll open up to just about anyone –– friends, strangers, doesn’t really matter. You’ll take on many lovers during your lifetime.

Over-Easy

You can be shy and old-fashioned, but once you trust someone you’re able to form lifelong friendships. Even though you’re quiet, you take strong stances on things. You hold grudges forever.

Poached

You have a mysterious, elusive soul. You’re a hard worker, an entrepreneur, and the person everyone wants to be seen with. Don’t let stardom or partying interfere with your goals. Tends to be kinda lonely.

Soft-Boiled

You were meant to live in another older era –– you are classy and beautiful. You don’t change for anyone. You are strict yet full of grace. Powerful, yet charming.

Hard-Boiled

You’re an athlete that’s always concerned about heath. This, of course, drives your friends crazy because you have a beautiful, toned body and are never sick. Try to relax a little more; it will do you good in the long run.

Shirred/Baked

You’re a delicate soul –– someone who needs a lot of love and affection to thrive. You definitely prefer the country to the city, and enjoy long hours of knitting in front of the fire.

You take some time to warm up to. At first you don’t seem very approachable, but as people get to know you they fall in love. You are a hard worker, but always elegant at whatever you do.

In a Basket

If your house was burning down you’d take your planner and your collection of Washi tape. Most of your meals are planned ahead for the week using recipes you found on Pinterest. You look super cute from the outside, but are secretly insane.

Steamed

You are a free spirit open to trying new and exciting things. You’ve never had a desk job, instead opting for more exciting temporary positions. Your parents own an organic farm in the Northwest where you visit often.

Raw

You are totally hardcore and just a little bit crazy. You wake up at 4am to go for a light 10-mile run before hitting the gym before work. You have a profitable business, but want to leave it all to live in the wild with your Siberian Husky.
