A study of more than 36,000 people from around the world concluded that musical tastes and personality type were closely related.

The research, which was carried out by Professor Adrian North of Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh in the UK suggested classical music fans were shy, while heavy metal fans were gentle and at ease with themselves.

Fans of Indie music had low self-esteem and were not hard working, fans of Rap music had high self-esteem and were outgoing. Country & Western fans were hardworking and outgoing, Reggae fans were creative but not hardworking, and fans of chart pop had high self-esteem, were not creative, but where hardworking and outgoing.

I kind of like not fitting into a category

I don't like that term so much, but indie doesn't seem to far removed from me, and what I listen to quite often could be loosely defined as such.

It would seem a lot of people must be screwed up including myself. Your cant have high and low self esteem at the same time!
As mentioned before, I love so many styles of music, its probably from playing guitar like other people on here and wanting to improve yourself as a musician. Other genre's that aren't guitar orientated like rap are still an influence for me from the way in which music is layered or arranged like the songs Jay Z does.

+ 1 with the exception of calling Rap "music" by any stretch of the imagination.

Obviously, that guy's test criterion/findings are rather flawed.

Funny you said Beardcore what ever that means but the BEARD part made me laugh because I had the wife shave my head the other night and I have not been for a haircut in well over 2 1/2 years so my hair was about 10 to 12 inches past my collar and now all I have is a BEARD well goatee actually.
