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?

interesting.

what if you have an eclectic taste?

I don't see where I can find out which one I am.

He is obviously advertising.

You can go onto the BBC website to find out.

 

Im indie, so that would make me...Low self-esteem, creative, not hard working, not gentle. :laugh3:

I'm a pear!

Now that's interesting. :nice:

Dddddddddddppppppppp :whip:

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.

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 .

I'm a pear!

 

You don't get anything for that................................ :rolleyes:

I like Indie and Metal.

 

ROCK/HEAVY METAL Low self-esteem, creative, not hard-working, not outgoing, gentle, at ease

 

 

INDIE Low self-esteem, creative, not hard working, not gentle

 

 

I'm a walking contradiction :cool:

I like good music, no matter the genre. What does that make me?

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.

pffff

 

i coulda told you all that

 

except for metal heads.... they forgot to put elitist mentality exibited

 

 

I LOLD at the rest cuz its true

 

 

and I am none of the above

I listen to many things :P

I like Indie and Metal.

 

ROCK/HEAVY METAL Low self-esteem, creative, not hard-working, not outgoing, gentle, at ease

 

 

INDIE Low self-esteem, creative, not hard working, not gentle

 

 

I'm a walking contradiction :cool:

 

One contradiction eatin another!

Indie aha... not gentle and low self-steem. At least Im creative.

Well thats bull

another 'similar' study will come up, is typical, but none is right.

I guess I'm an "indie" fan? :shrug: But I'm pretty outgoing I think.

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:

The list is so vague, it could be about anything, I don't think this particular study is all that good,
