Guess what? The University of Texas has finally found a link between music and your personality. It's common knowledge to most of us, but some of their results are quite surprising. Take a look.

Apparently I'm both politically liberal and politically conservative. And I come from the lower to middle and the middle to upper classes. I suspect my music taste has just broken the test. :oops:

Contradictary information pops up on this survey because the four traits are independent of eachother. For example, according to this survey, I'm both a liberal and a conservative.

I got edgy and aggressive music at 67%
Reflective and complex music at 21%

The other two at 0%

The test seems accurate enough.

Working class to lower middle class for me -again accurate.

Dude, it's the University of Texas. (Indidentally, it's my college's biggest rival. :P)

So, um, I'm sure this survey's lousy. I took it anyway :p

33 % enjoys reflective and complex music
33 % enjoys edgy and aggressive music
50 % enjoys fun and simple music
12 % enjoys energetic and upbeat music

Er, if they say so...

People with low scores on the reflective and complex music-preference dimension tend to be traditional, physically active, and prefer the straightforward to the complex. In addition, they're also socially dominant and, compared to high scores on this dimension, don't place much value on the fine arts. When not watching their favorite sitcoms, they enjoy watching comedy movies, action movies, musicals, or children's movies. Holy cow, they couldn't be more wrong. Bah, Texans!

People with low scores on the energetic and upbeat music-preference dimension tend to be introverted, less assertive than the average person, and detail oriented. As for politics and values, they tend to lean to the conservative side, and value intellect, ambition, and high art. Conservative? Er... um, no. :P

That was fun, thanks for the link. Even if it was by UT.

I basically said I like classical and electronica, and dislike pop, heavy metal, punk, religious, new age and country. I don't think these results are really accurate, but it's interesting.

I'd say they got me about right. Liberal, demanding of good entertainment, and a little more complex...right on. I slum sometimes and listen to pop, but not too often.

Besides the fact that it lists me as being politically conservative on one of them, the given results match me pretty well. Although I would have rated myself higher than 42% on the Edgy and Agressive music, as I listen to heavy and progressive metal more than any other type of music, with the possible exception of Baroque and Classical.

Don't worry. This study also called me a liberal. Those who've talked to me know that I'm not. I'm far from it.
