Selera Musik Menentukan Kepribadian

Sebenernya gua udah denger hal ini beberapa tahun lalu lewat siaran radio BBC. Kemudian pada tanggal 9 maret kemarin, gua kembali mendengarnya di Radio Prambors Bandung dalam rangka Hari Musik Nasional. Tapi sayang baru sekarang menuliskannya. *trus kenapa shad? :D

Adalah Profesor Adrian North dari Heriot-Watt University di Skotlandia yang meneliti hubungan antara selera musik dengan kepribadian. Ia melakukan survei kepada lebih dari 36000 orang di berbagai belahan dunia mengenai kepribadian mereka dan preferensi mereka terhadap 104 genre musik yang berbeda.

Berikut ringkasan mengenai hubungan Selera Musik dengan kepribadian, diambil dari Rauters.

• Fans of classical music and jazz are creative, pop lovers are hardworking and, despite the stereotypes, heavy metal listeners are gentle, creative types who are at ease with themselves.
• The study concluded that jazz and classical music fans are creative with good self-esteem, although the former are much more outgoing whereas the latter are shy.
  
• Country and western fans were found to be hardworking and shy;
  rap fans are outgoing and indie lovers lack self-esteem and are not very gentle.
• Those who like soul music can take heart as the research concluded they are creative, outgoing, gentle, at ease with themselves and have a high self-esteem.
• Those who choose to listen to exciting, punchy music are more likely to be in a higher earning bracket, he says, while those who go for relaxing sounds tend to be lower down the pay scale.

Selamat Hari Musik Nasional *sorry telat :D
