Heriot-Watt University psychologists have defined the personality trait of different individuals based on their musical preference.
Individuals often describe themselves through their musical taste, wearing particular clothes and using certain types of slang but the new study explains how music taste can solely reflect a person's character.
According to the findings of the present study, classical music and jazz fans are innovative with good self-confidence, but the former are much more outgoing whereas the latter are shy.
Findings revealed that those who listen to heavy metal and classical music share similar personality traits, both groups are creative and introverted; classical music lovers, however, have high self-esteem while heavy rock fans lack this characteristic.
