What your toilet paper hanging habits reveal about your character

Toilet paper is a relatively new invention. Before it became a household staple, people used old newspapers, sponges, or fabrics. Today, it's hard to imagine functioning without it.

It might seem that using toilet paper is a mundane activity. However, the way we hang it indicates specific traits of our personality.

Toilet paper should be mounted such that it unrolls from the outside. Seth Wheeler from Albany, who was the first to patent toilet paper sold in rolls in 1891, believed this was the only correct way to use this innovative invention. He claimed that all other methods should not be used.

Many experts also agree that this method is the most comfortable, even though it doesn't matter much to most people. However, it's worth considering what scientists say about the way toilet paper is hung. According to American researchers, the preferred method reveals the user's specific character traits.

In most homes, toilet paper is placed on a special holder. To use it, you just need to insert the roll and tear off a piece of paper. A team of scientists led by Dr. Gilda Carle conducted a series of studies to find correlations between how toilet paper is hung and user personality traits.

The studies included analysis of tendencies towards dominance and submissiveness based on preferences for unrolling the roll. The results indicated that people with a dominant character often chose to hang the paper on the outside, which is considered the "proper" way. On the other hand, those who hung the paper so that the roll was unrolled from the inside showed a greater tendency to be submissive. However, let's remember to treat such studies as a curiosity and not take them for certain.
