Musical tastes

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Musical tastes

Post by Spiritinthesky »

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.

Which one are you?

That seems a little suspect. I like country music, indie music, pop music, rock'n'roll, rhythm and blues, delta blues, merseybeat, jazz, funk, grunge, dixieland, folk, powerpop and punk. What personality type do I have?

If you go by that program I think you could call yourself a musical schizophrenic instead of a well adjusted listener.

I do believe that one can tell much about another person by looking at his/her CD collection. It's like looking into someone's bathroom cabinet.
