Psychological Insights
Dr. Gilda Carle delved deep into the toilet paper debate. According to her study, those who hang their paper “over” tend to be more dominant, while “under” users are more laid back [8]. Who knew your toilet paper orientation could reveal such personal information about you?
Carle’s study found that people who hang their toilet paper “over” are more likely to be type-A personalities, meaning they are ambitious, organized, and driven. They may also be more assertive and take-charge individuals.
On the other hand, people who hang their toilet paper “under” are more likely to be type-B personalities, meaning they are more relaxed, easygoing, and flexible. They may also be more cooperative and team-oriented individuals [8].
