Musical tastes and personality type are closely related, according to a study of more than 36,000 people from around the world. The research, which was carried out by Professor Adrian North of Heriot-Watt University, UK, is said to be the largest such study ever undertaken.
Over 36,000 people from all over the world were asked to rate 104 musical styles and also questioned about aspects of their personality.
It seems that people who like blues, soul, jazz, reggae, rap, and opera have a high self-esteem, and are creative and outgoing. People who like dance music are also creative and outgoing but are not gentle. Country and Western lovers are hardworking people, while those who listen to reggae, indie, and rock/heavy metal are not.
