I'm Innovative. And You Are...?

I have a weakness for short personality quizzes (and no patience for longer ones). The New York Times Well Blog recently ran one such quiz to assess your cooking personality. The categories are:

a) Giving: Friendly, well-liked and enthusiastic, giving cooks seldom experiment, love baking and like to serve tried-and-true family favorites, although that sometimes means serving less healthful foods.

b) Methodical: Talented cooks who rely heavily on recipes. The methodical cook has refined tastes and manners. Their creations always look exactly like the picture in the cookbook.

c) Healthy: Optimistic, book-loving, nature enthusiasts, healthy cooks experiment with fish, fresh produce and herbs. Health comes first, even if it means sometimes sacrificing taste.

d) Competitive: The Iron Chef of the neighborhood, competitive cooks have dominant personalities and are intense perfectionists who love to impress their guests.

e) Innovative: Creative and trend-setting, innovative cooks seldom use recipes and like to experiment with ingredients, cuisine styles and cooking methods.

I consider myself a Healthy cook, but that didn't register as highly in my results since I refuse to sacrifice taste. Taste should not be sacrificed in cooking. Ever.

Take the quiz here. And if you're inclined, post your results in the Comments section.
