Confidence. Some people have it, some people need it, everyone wants it. It is routinely rated as an attractive trait by women. Some men can be confident and others just put on a good show. As it turns out, the ever popular t-shirt test can help a person detect certain personality traits in the wearer.
A study published in the European Journal of Personality claims that Polish scientists asked 100 men and 100 women to take personality tests and then sleep in an unworn t-shirt for three consecutive nights. The shirts were then smelled by volunteers, who judged the wearers personality based on the smell of the shirt.
Results were not conclusive, but the smellers did detect if the wearer was outgoing or shy and how dominant their personalities were, said researcher Agnieszka Sorokowska. This was especially true when the wearer was of the opposite sex of the smeller.
