How Do YOU Hold Your Glass?

What do you think of http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8073432.stm ?

I have to say that it seems to mostly ring true, though I think there's a shallow bias (of course I think that--I'm an Aspie!) to the characterizations.

My favorite phrase is the (for "The Fun Lover") comment that goes something like 'The best way to approach is with light hearted banter and make them smile." WTFH is THAT?!

This kind of stuff is what flips the "holier than thou" arrogant switch in me...

The so-called "tips" sound like advice for cooking a steak which says "apply heat until done," or "don't tell sad stories to people who are crying or they will just cry more."

Like I said...it's this exact kind of stuff that does tempt me to look at NTs and say whatta bunch of morons....

...but....then....I remember: if they are that/this easy to predict and (well, let's face it, manipulate) then woo hoo!

(still secretly shaking my head in disdain, though )

I hold my glass with both hands, for fear of shaking out the contents, or just dropping the whole lot!
What does that say about me?

Whut. I occasionally do all of those positions, though mostly Jack The Lad, The Gossip, The Wallflower, and The Fun Lover. Oh man, they really pegged me there...


srsly what pseudoscience is this and why do websites do this?

Re website....the scary thing is that it's the BBC. You'd think that they'd aspire to a slightly higher standard, but I guess not so much anymore. That's why I told them that they were slipping in a recent survey they had me complete as a regular user of some of their services...

I can see where the personalities would correctly "go with" the stances, but I DO NOT see where the reverse is true. Bad Venn Diagramming if you ask me.

do not use a glass,am hold cups/cans/bottles in the hand in any way that can get the drink down,dont have a certain hold.

my pinky sticks out, like those posh people hold their glass.

It's emphasized when I take a sip.

I CAN'T HELP IT

With me I always hold it with three fingers and thumb as well (little finger sticking out) unless the drink/glass/container is heavy, generally in my right hand. I don't think anyone told me to do this though.

I just hold it, I don't know what else I can say.

Like this:



My pinky sits under the cup to reduce the chance of me accidently dropping it. Sadly, this is a very real chance, as occasionally I have something weird happen, and my grip will release slightly, and I have dropped things that I knew were securaly in my insanely tight grip. Its embaressing... I will be holding a pencil writing, and then something happens, not sure what it is, and somehow the next thing I know, I've dropped the pencil. At least with my pniky under it, if this happens, I might have the time to react and catch the cup.
