I read an interesting article today in the BBC News of a study completed by Heriot-Watt University in Scotland that suggest musical tastes and personality are closely related. The study surveyed more than 36,000 people around the world and found the following personality traits for these music genres. They are still collecting surveys. Give your two cents here.
