About that trending "food disgust test"

Another day on Twitter brings another trending topic. And this time around, it's an online test that measures your specific food disgust triggers.

Created by IDRlabs — an online platform that offers science-related articles, assessments and tests based on peer-reviewed scientific research — the food disgust test asks users to respond to 32 food-related statements on a scale of agree to disagree. In particular, the statements encourage one to think if they'd eat a slice of apple that has turned slightly brown, use dirty utensils or eat moldy cheese and more. The responses are then used to determine your specific triggers, which include animal flesh, hygiene, human contamination, mold, fruit, fish, vegetables and insect contaminants. A food disgust percentage is also calculated. The lower the percentage, the less disgusted you are by such foods, while the higher the percentage, the more disgusted you are by them.
