(5)What your music taste says about you
Think the music you love is part of your identity? You might be right According to a study at the University of Texas which gave people questionnaires about their musical taste and intelligence tests, what you listen to reveals a surprising amount about you So which of these four ‘super genres’ best describes your musical taste?
a) Blues, classical, folk, jazz b) Alternative, heavy metal, rock. c) Country, pop, soundtracks. d) Electronic, hip-hop, rap. Ready?
a) If you listen to this kind of music, you probably see yourself as unathletic (unhealthy, weak) , liberal (free) and intelligent (and do, in fact, pretty well on exams and IQ tests) You are also probably very open to trying new experiences
b) You share most of your characteristics with the jazz/classical group, but you’re more likely to see yourself as athletic (healthy,strong) and slightly less likely to seek to control others
c) You’re likely to be agreeable (dễ đồng ý), extroverted (hướng ngoại) and conscientious (tận tâm) You also see yourself as attractive, wealthy and athletic, as well as politically conservative (bảo thủ) Good news: this group is the least prone to depression (ít bị phiền muộn) Bad news: it scores lowest on IQ tests
d) You’re extroverted, agreeable, attractive and athletic, but you probably don’t share the political conservatism, wealth or lower IQ with the country/pop/soundtracks group This group also scores highest for “blirtatiousness” – the tendency to blurt out your thoughts and feelings as soon as they arise (nói suy nghĩ & cảm xúc ngay)
