45 What does your taste in music say about your personality?

I’ve read an absolutely gripping article on this topic, which was really surprising for me. There was a huge study which suggested musical tastes and personality type are closely related. To my astonishment, it suggested classical music fans were shy, while heavy metal aficionados were gentle and at ease with themselves. The research could have many uses in marketing as if you know a person's music preference you can tell what kind of person they are, who to sell to. One of the most surprising things is the similarities between fans of classical music and heavy metal. They're both creative and at ease but not outgoing. 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.
