The personality countries, drinking tea is a tradition that characteristics will be compared to those of Netherlands, tea is the second most drunk beverage on a yearly basis (CBS 1997). With its 100 liters of tea per person per year, it is second to coffee, which has a On a daily basis, most people prefer one backgrounds (mode = science education, n claims are made that people who drink tea = 42). The questionnaire consists of the big five personality test, questions on beverage use and cover questions to hide the In the past, several researches have been purpose of the test and to prevent socially done trying to find a correlation between drinking habits and personality. In these tests, tea and coffee were used in the same two or more cups of the certain beverage a category, that of caffeinated beverages. Richardson et al.

Also, both the Shapiro- Wilk test and the Skewness/Curtosis test rejected the normality assumption, which subsequently make a t-test invalid.
A variance-ratio test would be meaningless since the data is not normally distributed. This also holds for the t-test, which had an outcome of  = 0,08, with μ1 = 59,2 and μ2 = 57,8; thus the difference in clicks is non- Discussion
