As the famous line from Forrest Gump goes, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.” With Valentine’s Day just round the corner, you are probably on the hunt for the best chocolatiers in Singapore. There is no better gift to surprise your loved ones with than a box of chocolates, accompanied by a bouquet of flowers!

Richard Cadbury—an English chocolate manufacturer in the 1860s—was the first to come up with the concept of a heart-shaped box of chocolates as a Valentine’s Day present. Since then, giving chocolates has been popularised as a way to express romantic love and affection. It is no coincidence that chocolate releases endorphins in your brain, the same hormones which are released when you’re in love.

But did you also know that the type of chocolate you prefer is a reflection of your personality? Read on and discover your inner self by your favourite chocolate—be it plain, dark, milk or nutty!

1. Plain Chocolate Lover

If you prefer plain chocolate, you’re a straightforward and honest individual. Your direct communication style earns you respect from both your manager and colleagues. You tend to keep a low profile in the workplace. Despite not drawing attention to yourself, your friendly and positive demeanour makes you well-liked!

Mindful not to burden others with your problems, you have a tendency to handle workplace challenges on your own. Yet, this self-reliance can lead to burnout at times. It's important for you to strike a healthy balance between having ownership over your work and seeking support from your team members.

2. Milk Chocolate Lover

If you prefer milk chocolate, you’re a calm and easygoing individual. Comfortable with going with the flow, you focus on the tasks at hand without constantly worrying about the outcome. As a consistent worker, you’ll show up come rain or shine!
 

While you may adopt a flexible approach to work, you hold established norms and traditions in high regard. You possess a caring and generous spirit which manifests not only to your loved ones but also to your colleagues. It goes without saying that you’re extremely family-oriented; work-life balance is the ideal you seek.

3. Dark Chocolate Lover

If you prefer dark chocolate, you’re a bold and independent individual. Not only is your palate highly sophisticated, but also your manner of dressing. Polished and classy, you are easily one of the best dressed at work!

Dedicated to whatever you set your mind on, you take your professional commitments seriously. Your clear and charismatic communication style allows you to be a champion of change in the workplace. As such, your team often taps upon your expertise during client negotiations. However, take note that your self-assured demeanour does not come across as arrogance.

4. Nutty Chocolate Lover

If you prefer nutty chocolate, you’re a lively and energetic individual. Inclined to see the glass half full, your positive outlook on life is infectious. You enjoy making people laugh with your razor-sharp wit and comedic gestures—you’re often the centre of attention at office parties!

Able to switch gears quickly, you’re not fazed by problems which arise. Instead, you thrive on finding the most creative and efficient solution to solve these problems. You also are skilled at diffusing tense situations and resolving disagreements with humour. Laughter, in your opinion, is truly the best medicine.
