http://psychology.about.com/od/personalitydevelopment/a/music-and-personality.htmMusic and PersonalityWhat Does Your Taste In Music Reveal About Your Personality?ByKendra Cherry, About.com Guide

Could the playlists lurking on your iPod really reveal information about your personality? Research

conducted by psychologists Jason Rentfrow and Sam Gosling suggests that knowing the type of music you

listen to can actually lead to surprisingly accurate predictions about your personality.

For example, researchers found that people could make accurate judgments about an individual's levels of

extraversion, creativity and open-mindedness after listening to ten of their favorite songs. Extraverts tend to

seek out songs with heavy bass lines, while those who enjoy more complex styles such as jazz and classical

music tend to be more creative and have higher IQ-scores.

Another study conducted by researchers at Heriot-Watt University looked at more than 36,000 participants

from all over the world. Participants were asked to rate more than 104 different musical styles in addition to

offering information about aspects of their personality. The following are just some of the personality traits

linked to certain musical styles.

Pop

Do you prefer to listen to thetop 40 hits? Do the latest tracks from Rhianna, Selena Gomez and Flo Rida

make up your workout mix? If so, chances are that you also tend to beextraverted, honest and conventional.

While pop music lovers are hard-working and have high self-esteem, researchers suggests that they tend to be

less creative and more uneasy.

4/5

Rap and Hip/Hop

Are Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre more your style? In spite of the stereotype thatraplovers are more aggressive or

violent, researchers have actually found no such link. Rap fans do tend to have high self-esteem and are

usually outgoing.

Country

Would you rather watch CMT instead of MTV?Country musicfans are typically hardworking, conventional

and outgoing. While country songs are often centered on heartbreak, people who gravitate towards this genre

tend to be very emotionally stable.

Rock / Heavy Metal

Despite the sometimes aggressive image thatrock musicandheavy metalproject, researchers found that fans

of this style of music are usually quite gentle. They tend to be creative, but are often introvertedand maysuffer from low self-esteem.

Indie

Do you love seeking out obscure bands and indie artists? Fans of theindie genreare typically introverted,

intellectual and creative. According to researchers, they also tend to be less hard-working and less gentle.

Passivity, anxiousness and low self-esteem are other common personality characteristics.

Dance

Do you love the fast-paced rhythms ofdance music? According to researchers, people who prefer dance

music are usually outgoing and assertive.

Classical

Classical musiclovers are typically more introverted, but are also at ease with themselves and the world

around them. They are creative and have a good sense ofself-esteem.

Jazz, Blues and Soul

People who enjoyjazz,bluesorsoul musicwere found to be more extraverted with high self-esteem. They

also tend to be very creative, intelligent and at ease.

According to researcher Adrian North of Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK, the reason people

sometimes feel defensive about their taste in music might be related to how much it relates to attitudes and

personality. "People do actually define themselves through music and relate to other people through it but we

havent known in detail how music is connected to identity," he explained.

The next time you are putting together a playlist to listen to during your commute or workout, consider how

your personality might be reflected in your song choices.

Commentary and Poem Written By: Mitra Qayoom (http://mitraqayoom.wordpress.com/)

Have you ever walked past a person and wondered why they behaved the way they did?

Did you ever wonder why someone you smiled at while serving them in the shop did not

return the smile? Have you ever wondered why that young person is using a walking frame

or is in a wheelchair, or what was that old womans life like when she was young?

Has pasado junto a alguien y Te has preguntado por qu se comportaron como lo

hicieron? Te has preguntado alguna vez por qu alguien a quien estabas mirando

mientras lo atendias en la tienda no te sonri de vuelta? Te has preguntado alguna vez

por qu un joven est usando un andador o est usando una silla de ruedas? O Cmo

era la vida de esa mujer mayor cuando era joven?

This is inspired by the people I observed while sitting on a bench at a shopping centre:

Esto est inspirado por la gente que observ mientras estaba sentada en una banca en

un centro comercial.:

I am the old lady sitting on the benchwatching people pass me byyoung and beautifulpeople full of lifeI close my eyes and rememberI used to be one of you many years agoBeautiful and adventurousI am the guy that walked past you with my walkerI close my eyes and remember being teased formy physical disabilityI did not wish this upon myselfI was born with cerebral palsyI am the elderly man who walked past you talking to myselfPeople look at me funny and try to keep their distanceI was told Im a danger to myself and societyI close my eyes and remember my younger daysfree on the streets dealing drugs and staying highto escape the pain, sufferings and loneliness of this cruel worldI am the girl that didnt make eye contact with youas you served me at the counter

little you know that I suffer from deep depressionmy life is consumed by itI close my eyes and the remember all the eventsthat brought me to where I am todayA tear falls from my eye because it is so hard to seethe light at the end of the tunnel

Let us not ignore and make our elderly feel invisible. And let us not be ignorant to mentaland physical disabilities. Be kind because everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

Soy la mujer mayor sentada en la bancamirando a la gente que pasa junto a mijvenes y hermosospersonas llenas de vida, cierro los ojos y recuerdo

que solia ser uno de ustedes muchos aos atrsHermosa y aventureraSoy
