I'm stubborn at first and when the toothpaste is ending, I'm depressed (which is appropriate, I think).

I'm 'Impulsive' when I'm putting the product on my toothbrush but then I switch to 'Thrifty...' by smoothing out the tube as I return it to the drawer - maybe we need more categories or maybe I'm just complicated or something else or maybe I should just stop typing now before I say too much...

I am a little stubborn. I start from anywhere but the bottom. My husband is a perfectionist and my toothpaste squeezing habits drive him nuts.

From the bottom of the tube up, like the second one listed here but I don't roll up the tube

What if you use MentaDent and only have two options: push down, or be anti-social/have bad breath?

I actually cheated and bought a toothpaste squeezer. It goes at the end of the tube and you push it down and it gets all the toothpaste out for you.

I squeeze from the bottom. I wouldn't call it "thrifty" necessarily. More like following the natural order of things. Anything else would be an OFFENSE, I tell you. :-)

I'm more of the impulsive type.

I use technology.. There is a small plastic device I use, and it clamps on to the end of the tube. AS you squeeze it, it evenly flattens out the tube so you can maximize the amount of paste you are getting out of each tube.

Not sure what personality I am for this, but you will need to create a new one. ; )

Like most tasks in life, I am a staunch advocate of a firm, direct, bottom squeeze.

Yes, there's truth in this. I remember when I was in an advertising agency, there was a survey done, which gave basically the same results as shown in your question.

The research was so indepth, the results even showed how many people first applied toothpaste on their brushes before putting it under running water, as compared to the number of people who would first rinse it and then apply the toothpaste!

Personally, I'm an OCD guy, so I'm very careful how I squeeze the paste out of its tube. It'll always be neatly rolled up... suffice to say that you will never find a rumpled, creased, or even slightly bent toothpaste tube on my sink :)

But even I wouldn't go so far as this:
