Default coffee versus tea people

I thought this might be an interesting question.

Many of the more introspective people I know drink tea. And many of the more
extroverted people I know drink coffee. I drink both (coffee in the morning,
tea at night, so I'm not sure what that makes me). I know in
rec.food.drink.coffee, there's many more posts than here....I understand
generalizations are sometimes unfair, but I wonder if there's ever been a
study of personality types and what preferences, tea versus coffee, they
have. Anyone have any thoughts?

coffee is a tool of the middle class to better serve their masters.

There are fewer posts in this group because tea drinkers tend to be
luddites. I mean, when was the last time anyone in this group talked
about dangers of heating water in one of them new-fangled microwaves?

You'd sort of have to limit a study to time and place. Would what
would go for middle America now go for !9th century England or 18th
century China? Toci

Wow does that take me back...

(And I think strictly speaking it's binary I was typing in, not ASCII,
although ASCII is what it translates. But what do I know.the only
programming I ever did was in Apple Basic. Oh, and I cheated and didn't work
it out on my own, I had to use an online translator. So I'm not the
ubergeek.)

I can't answer for many, but I can say there's at least one. She works
with me, drinks coffee, and is an active member of PETA.

No, you're not. But a geek binary other name is still a geek.

It's amazing how much easier it is for a team to work together when no
one has any idea where they're going.

Definitely not my type. My wife drinks tea, wears fur, and
swallows anything I put into her mouth.
