How to read a pizza

Domino's Pizza recently sought the advice of a taste and smell expert to learn more about what pizza toppings say about people's personalities. According to their "Toppings Tell All" study and Dr. Alan Hirsch of Chicago's Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, those chunks of pineapple and anchovy say a lot. "Non-traditional" toppings, like pineapple, indicate aggressive, leader-type personalities. Meat lovers also love to be the center of attention, apparently. Veggie lovers, on the other hand, seem to be humble and introverted.

The Domino's site isn't to clear on the rationale for any of this, but c'mon, it's pizza, what do you want from it, really?
