Mudbug Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 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? From http://www.thisdayinmusic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christopher Martin Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 interesting, ive thought about this alot in the past, I think personal music taste has many factors, for example what music you are exposed to while at a young age etc. I am relatively shy and i do love slow emotional songs but i also love rage against the machine and michael jackson.

Cyan Kat Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I Love a lot of soft rock and indie with being brought up listening to that sort of stuff. I Also like some electro stuff but I'm not sure how that is with personality. I Think it also depends when you were born, I was born in the 90's and have a love for Oasis .

Arwen Evenstar Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 The list is so vague, it could be about anything, I don't think this particular study is all that good, and as for musical taste saying something about your personality I think that much was obvious without a study.

Violet Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 OK, so I like classical music, which is indicative of high self-esteem, but I also like indie, which is indicative of low self-esteem... Yeah, this study is pretty much a fail. :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
