Are you more a Summer/Winter person or a Spring/Fall person?

[DishLady]

A few studies suggest that aspects of a person's personality correlate with seasonal preferences and environmental upbringing. The climate preferences are apparently formative in what naturally recharges and comforts a person. (Similarly, preference for certain times of day are said to impact productivity levels.)

Key Personality Correlations by Season Preference:

• Winter People (Extreme/Cold): Linked to introversion, introspection, critical thinking, creativity, and emotional resilience. (Preferring quiet, introspective, cozy settings.)
• Summer People (Extreme/Hot): Linked to high energy, vibrancy, sociability, and love of physical activities.
• Spring/Fall People (Transitional/Mild): Linked to higher emotional stability, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness/extroversion.

Factors Influencing Seasonal Preference:

• Upbringing: People raised in milder climates tend to score higher on desirable personality traits (socialization, flexibility, etc.).
• Psychophysiological Comfort: Preferences are based on what a person associates with safety or positive stimulation.
• Birth Month: Folks tend to be subconsciously attached to the season of their birth month.
• Contrast Effect: Sometimes preference for extreme (winter/summer) weather comes from a desire for contrast.

What do you think?

Winter/Summer

Spring/Fall

I quite enjoy both seasons.

If I had to choose though, maybe summer. Not because I enjoy summer sports more, but because more people partake in summer sports. We are social creatures, some more than others.

The personality traits/correlations are interesting by the way!

Well, since I'm an old stubborn German, I'm definitely going with the winter season...😜

[DishLady]

Haha.

At one time, I would have said that I am a winter person, but as I have gotten older, I have become less tolerant of cold weather; fortunately, I live in Florida, but tonight's overnight low is forecast as 22F! Now, I find more pleasure in the spring and fall.

Funny that they put Winter and Summer together... I am a Winter person and my favorite season is such, as well. I was also born during a blizzard.

The only thing I've experienced so far, with myself and with other people close to me, is one of the factors you list as possibly influencing seasonal preference : being subconsciously attached to the season of the birth month.

I'm definitely a fall person, by preference and by birth month. Other people I know were born at the very start or at the height of the summer months and that's where their birthday is sutuated as well.

I'm more of a summer person.. High energy, sociable and I do love the outdoors Winter is okay if it's not extremely cold. I like snow but I don't enjoy freezing all the time. Sometimes it's so painful just being outside in the winter.. The wind hurts your face.

[HawkPerception]

I think from the personality descriptions, I match winter the most, but what I actually love is summer. I'm not gonna call the studies BS, but they definitely don't apply to me

[DishLady]

That tracks, though. You like the extreme seasons rather than the transitional seasons. ;)

[worldscolide]

Summer and winter. Spring and fall are horrible on my allergies

[DishLady]

True. You know? I never used to have "fall allergies"? Now I do. Blah. And Wintertime all the feather coats, dusty ornaments and chemicals for the snow really just wreak my sinuses.

[Persephone02]

I love the Fall but I also like Winter. So I guess I'm a bit of both of those things.

[BCRanger10]

Of these combinations? Probably spring/fall.

[exitseven]

I am a summer person. I have always said that if anyone should have been born down south it is me.

[YourExLover69]

From the above spring/mild weather.

Don't like extreme heat or extreme cold

[spartan55]

I am 100% Team Autumn

[DishLady]

Lol. Yeah you are.

[spartan55]

What's that mean.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Summer when the buxom, braless babes bounce for us boys !!!

[WhitneySnow]

I’d say winter

[Cute_User513]

I love the winter too! The snow is so pretty 🥰

[Cidknee]

Fall is perfect.

[Anonymous]

I’m a summer/summer person.
