A researcher surveyed over 36,000 people across more than 60 countries to rate different musical styles. The results showed that musical preferences are linked to aspects of personality. People who liked the same types of music tended to have similar personality traits. The study provides evidence that the music we enjoy reveals something about our individual personality characteristics.
