I think everyone does about know if he likes summer more than winter. That you are probably a winter type if you cheer up when others are in an autumn blues, or are already dreaming about snow in July. And that you are probably a summer type if you put out the flag on December 21 because the days are getting longer again, and you would prefer to go to work in your swimming trunks every day. But what about you? officially – what you can put on your passport, so to speak – that is more difficult to determine. And that is inconvenient.
Because what I notice is that, as soon as the temperature drops below zero or above thirty degrees, a gap becomes visible in society between the summer haters and the winter haters. Winter enthusiasts who call summer types wimps when they complain about a few degrees of frost; summer lovers who demonize winter types when they enjoy the cold – it can be tough sometimes.
And so I made a handy test with which you can easily determine whether you are a summer or a winter type and, above all: how bad that is and how you deal with it. Because there is enough polarization in society without friction over the weather. Yes, right?
1. As soon as it freezes, every morning at 6 a.m. you jump into the nearest ditch and swim a few kilometers with icicles under your armpits.
