The BBC news reports on a study:
Musical tastes and personality type are closely related, according to a study of more than 36,000 people from around the world... The research, carried out by Professor Adrian North of Heriot-Watt University, is said to be the largest such study ever undertaken.
Music styles and associated personality traits
- Blues: High self-esteem, creative, outgoing, gentle and at ease
- Jazz: High self-esteem, creative, outgoing and at ease
- Classical: High self-esteem, creative, introvert and at ease
- Rap: High self-esteem, outgoing
- Opera: High self-esteem, creative, gentle
- Country and Western: Hardworking, outgoing
- Reggae: High self-esteem, creative, not hardworking, outgoing, gentle and at ease
- Dance: Creative, outgoing, not gentle
- Indie: Low self-esteem, creative, not hard working, not gentle
- Bollywood: Creative, outgoing
- Rock/Heavy Metal: Low self-esteem, creative, not hard-working, not outgoing, gentle, at ease
- Chart Pop: High self-esteem, not creative, hardworking, outgoing, gentle, not at ease
- Soul: High self-esteem, creative, outgoing, gentle, at ease
Well... my own take on this.... why is almost everyone creative? I wonder how they defined creativity and how they defined self-esteem. Indeed, what constituted being "at ease"? I like the idea of this study, but am full of questions.
