Abstract Tasters and nontasters of the chemical phenylthiocarbamide differ in personality and in IQ test scores. Using an undergraduate sample, nontasters were significantly more “placid” (rather than “apprehensive”) “relaxed” (rather than “tense”), and “practical” (rather than “imaginative”) and scored higher on the more visuospatial component of an IQ test than their taster counterparts.
