And the research of 1000 Brits by Snaptrip found that they are also believed to have more exciting or glamorous lifestyles than others.
From bungee jumping, to booking a last minute holiday or buying something you don’t need, impulsiveness comes in many forms.
Apparently we’re at our most impulsive between the ages of 35-44 and more impulsive people are more likely to be happier in relationships and be in a more senior position at work.
We asked Be readers what’s the most spontaneous thing they’ve ever done:
* Laura Irving, of Ecclefechan, said: “I started stripping wall paper at 1am in morning: I was pregnant and there was a little hanging off! My partner Andrew thought I was off my head as we where just in bed, about to go to sleep. But what us women get in our heads needs to be done.”
* Louise Watson, of Dumfries: “I booked a surprise (child free) long weekend in Spain with my hubby. He didn’t have a clue till we got to Prestwick.”
* Another reader from Dumfries, who wanted to stay anonymous, said: “Running naked in the snow was one of the politest spontaneous things I’ve done.”
* Mary McClelland from Melbourne, Australia, who has family in Dumfriesshire: “I decided in the pub one Fri night to go to Oz and visit my now husband David. I left on the following Friday for three months! Mind you, it took five years before we got married and came here to stay.”
