What does your music taste say about you?

The department of psychology at Heriod Watt University in Edinburgh has undertaken a world-wide survey, asking people to describe their personality and then to list their favourite musical genres.

They claim the results show a distinct correlation between personality types and the style of music a person enjoys.

The research went into several different music types. Fans of indie pop for example are expected to have low self esteem, are not kind or generous - but are creative. Country and Western devotees are likely to be very hard-working and friendly. Jazz lovers conform to their chilled out sterotype...

And classical music lovers? It is believed we have high self-esteem and are creative and at ease withourselves - but not so outgoing.

We will see who is outgoing enough to comment on this story on MyWNO Have Your Say!
