Tell me what you listen, I'll tell you who you are

I found the other day on one of BBC's page, some kind of entertaining article about music and personnality.

A research has been done and the main conclusion is that "Musical tastes and personality type are closely related" (according to a study of more than 36,000 people from around the world)

To read the full article, it's here

I think there is logic here to associate music to certain type of personnality, even if of course you can't generalize!

Amond several things, they say: "The general public has held a stereotype of heavy metal fans being suicidally depressed and of being a danger to themselves and society in general. But they are quite delicate things" ... hehe... I confirm!

Here is a an exemple of what they could find from their research
(there are a few musical categories that are really missing here me thinks... and putting rock+heavy metal together just can't fit! But anyway, it's fun!)

Type of music ---> personnality

"BLUES (BB King) : High self-esteem, creative, outgoing, gentle and at ease

JAZZ (Thelonius Monk) : High self-esteem, creative, outgoing and at ease

CLASSICAL MUSIC (Nigel Kennedy) : High self-esteem, creative, introvert and at ease

RAP (Public Enemy) : High self-esteem, outgoing

OPERA (Aida) : High self-esteem, creative, gentle

COUNTRY AND WESTERN (Dolly Parton) : Hardworking, outgoing

REGGAE (Linton Kwesi Johnson) : High self-esteem, creative, not hardworking, outgoing, gentle and at ease

DANCE (Rave) : Creative, outgoing, not gentle

INDIE (Pete Doherty) : Low self-esteem, creative, not hard working, not gentle

BOLLYWOOD (Dancers) : Creative, outgoing

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

CHART POP (Kylie Minogue) : High self-esteem, not creative, hardworking, outgoing, gentle, not at ease

SOUL (James Brown) : High self-esteem, creative, outgoing, gentle, at ease"

huhu, I'm not hard working then?
well, if that means I don't like working hard, no problem, that's right! :P
