I posit that most of us intuitively use virtue ethics, and not deontology or consequentialism.
I suspect that this is true, and that such differences in intuition account for the existence of these differing theories in the first place, e.g., Kant was intuitively deontological while Aristotle was intuitively a virtue ethicist.
Also, there may already be research into moral psychology that explores whether people’s disagreements over ethical frameworks correlate with different personality traits. If so, this would speak to your claim.
I would argue that both deontology and consequentialism are both (I would claim ultimately unfriendly) attempts at recursively extrapolating our ethical intuitions into something coherent.
