The Relationship Between Your Personality and Your Music Taste

The Editor

Your personality can have a big influence on the kind of music you like. If you’re shy, you might prefer mellower, introspective songs. If you’re outgoing, you might prefer upbeat, party-like tunes.

There are also some specific personality traits that tend to go hand-in-hand with certain music genres. For example, people who are high in openness to experience are more likely to enjoy classical and jazz music, while people who are high in agreeableness tend to prefer country music.  So if you’re curious about what your music taste says about you and even about which type of music you should listen to, here are some personality traits that might be influencing your choices:

How Accurate is Your Music Personality Test?


Now that you know a little bit about how your personality can influence your music taste, you might be wondering how accurate these tests really are.


Unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer to this question. While some research has found that music preference can be a good indicator of personality, other studies have found mixed results.


So while your music taste might say something about your personality, it’s important to remember that these tests are far from perfect. They should only be used as a general guide, not as a definitive assessment of your personality.


If you want to learn more about your personality, there are other assessments that might be more helpful, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This test is based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type and has been shown to be a reliable indicator of personality.


What's Common About All Music Fans?


No matter what your favorite music genre is, there are some personality traits that all music fans tend to share.


People who enjoy music tend to be high in extraversion, agreeableness, and openness to experience. They are typically outgoing, social, and creative. They might also be open-minded and easygoing.


So if you’re looking for a way to connect with other people, music might be a good place to start. Chances are, you have more in common with someone who likes the same type of music as you do than you might think.
