Now a new study has revealed that your choice of sport says more about you than you could possibly have imagined.

一项最新的研究显示，你选择的运动方式透露出来的个性特征比你想象的要多。

According researchers, cyclists are more likely to be emotionally stable, runners the most extrovert¹ and swimmers the happiest, while walkers are the least materialistic².

The psychological study, which was carried out by experts Mindlab, also revealed that sport can also offer clues to a person's attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions.

Cyclists, for instance, are most likely to vote Liberal Democrat³ and tend to be laid back and calm, if keen on acquiring material possessions.

Meanwhile runners tend to be Labour-voting extroverts⁴ who love being the centre of attention and have a penchant⁵ for upbeat dance music.

Those who swim tend to make the best lovers, are tidy and are also the most charitable, although according to Mindlab, 61 per cent of adults are fond of charity regardless of their choice of sport.

Walkers, a category that includes those who enjoy rambling⁶, orienteering and trekking⁷, are least concerned about material possessions and like their own company.
