If you like blues, jazz, classical, or folk music...
...then you are intelligent, tolerant, and politically liberal.
If you like country or religious music...
...then you are cheerful, outgoing, reliable, and conventional.
If you like alternative or heavy metal music...
...then you are physically active and a curious risk-taker.
If you like rap/hip-hop or and dance music...
...then you are outgoing and agreeable and generally eschew conservative ideals.
Memorize this list. When you ask that cute stranger what kind of music he or she likes, you'll know if the two of you will hit it off. "It assumes that knowing the answer tells you something about who they are" and whether or not to pursue a relationship, Dr. Peter J. Rentfrow, a psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin and the lead study author, told Reuters. Along with Dr. Samuel D. Gosling, Rentfrow conducted six studies on over 3,500 students examining their music preferences, beliefs about music, self-perceptions, and cognitive abilities.
Don't look now, but advertisers can also use the same psychology
Soooooo Where do you fit?
What about Motown? Reggae-pop? Indie?
Gorsh, cinnes. Perhaps motown would fit in the blues category and reggae under folk. How about listing some examples of Indie.
dys, of course.
Roll out the barrel,
Watch out for those old frayed cords.
Gautam, is Indi like Hindi?
Just googled Indie and found that it would fit in several categories since the site gave InfraRed as an example.
If you like alternative or heavy metal music...
...then you are physically active and a curious risk-taker.
That's the kind of music I like, however...I am somewhat physically active and a cautious risk taker.
I like jazz, blues, classical, alternative and heavy metal. I think the list just fell apart!
Remember fishin' and doglover, the sampling was done from among college students. What do they know!
Looks like I'm a little of everything. I like some of all those, so I'm off the walls, lol.
Well, Montana, Anyone as versatile as you is allowed to be off the walls.
LOL Letty! Thank you very much ;-)
I should have said that I like a little from every group there, because I don't like religious, alternative, or rap music.
Well, Montana. Religious music can cover a lot of things. I don't care for religious pop tunes
I'm a metal and a prog rock guy...I am physically active, definitely a risk taker, but I also consider myself thoughtful and intelligent (hard to believe I realize).
I'm also stunningly good looking and hung like....well... nevermind...
I like classical, soft rock, ballads and disco. How do I fit in?
Phoenix, I do believe we need to do a new study here on A2K. My, my, what an interesting challenge this has turned out to be...
Bi, you are sooooo you and hanging out at the right joints, too.
I like some of all of it from blues to rock to soul to raggae to classical to hiphop to c&w to ballads and know quite a few people as well who appreciate all forms of music. How are we categorized?
