Listening to certain types of songs may just tell you more about your own, or even someone else’s, personality than you think! Take the music test, it’s easy and painless. Plus, the worst thing that you can do is learn something about yourself or people in general.
Throughout the years, I have often wondered if there is any correlation between music and the listener. Personal preferences define people to a point, but they’re only accidentals, they are not the essence of an individual.
When I was young, I enjoyed many styles of music. I tended to listen to the ones that older people was interested in. Maybe I was musically mature for my age. The best bands that I enjoyed playing with were always the older and more seasoned players. Then, when I played with guys my own age, I just played with them to keep myself busy. No disrespect intended, but it wasn’t all that much of a challenge to me at that point.
My life was as a young kid growing up in Brantford was normal. My parents stayed together. They didn’t drink or fight and our neighbourhood was like Mr Rogers. I lead a very solid, middle class existence.
When I was exposed to some certain styles of music that was very foreign to me during those informative years, I sometimes thought that it reflected directly upon those people. I imagined that this kind of music was part of who and what they were. Like for instance, if people listened to Punk Rock, then they must be prone to violence and anarchy! Country music reflected a drunk who lost his dog and so forth. I know, what a weird way for a kid to think.
Now after skimming through an article called maybe this song is about you, I now feel that, hey maybe I was on to something there as a young child!
So see what type of personality that you are in this test and tell us if you think the result are accurate … to some degree!
Keep on Jammin’

Thanks mate, I really enjoyed your post. There is a huge correlation between the music/style and the listener. You can make a first impression about a person by finding out what music he prefers.
I have been in all kind of styles since I was a small kid, and each and every time my musical tastes varied because of the people surrounding me. This all changed when I became mature and started to understand things that I couldn’t figure out before.
Now I can listen mostly everything starting from Pink Floyd and then some crazy freejazz band or Cecil Taylor or Peter Brontzman or Flying Luttenbachers. I enjoy all kind of music, but mostly non commercial music, the one the is done by and for someone’s soul and true intentions, not for the money.

Now that is a great response to this post Charlie! This is the type of comments that I want to see from my readers!!! I just love to try and make people THINK.
I’m glad that I am not alone in this type of thinking. When I brought this idea up to people when I was young, they’d look at me like, what the heck is this kid thinking!?I think it just makes sense to me that is. You just helped me realize that I am on the right track.
Thanks again Charlie and Keep on Jammin’
