A study of more than 36,000 people from around the world concluded that musical tastes and personality type were closely related.
The research, which was carried out by Professor Adrian North of Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh in the UK suggested classical music fans were shy, while heavy metal fans were gentle and at ease with themselves.
Fans of Indie music had low self-esteem and were not hard working, fans of Rap music had high self-esteem and were outgoing. Country & Western fans were hardworking and outgoing, Reggae fans were creative but not hardworking, and fans of chart pop had high self-esteem, were not creative, but where hardworking and outgoing.
So which one are you?

Hmmmm...no country fans here. or pop top 100, no rap (thank GOD!!)......I am afraid our tastes seem to run on the indie side --old and new....
Does that mean we are all creative bums?!!

Interesting research though I wonder how people were asked to describe or categorize themselves. i.e, some are reluctant to describe themselves "negatively". What kind of interests me is why people really like certian genres of music, ie.e classical, rock, jazz, etc. Rhythms seem to catch everubody a little differently.
Anyway, i think we have a good mix here with different musical tastes. Makes people get exposed to more stuff. |
