Musical Melody

Recently, I read an article about how people's musical preferences bring out their personalities. Apparently, a study has been conducted by a professor of Herion-Watt University in Scotland to correlate the link between a person and his or her choice of music.

So far, the results based on the responses from people all over the world indicate the following- Jazz and blues listeners are people with high self-esteem, creative, outgoing, gentle and at ease. Classical music listeners are people who also have high self-esteem, creative, but are more shy in nature, not outgoing. Country and western music listeners are considered hard-working and outgoing. Reggae listeners are creative but not hardworking, while rap lovers are outgoing.

The research also pointed out an astonishing similarity between classical music listeners and heavy metal fans that they are both creative, but not the outgoing types. Also, the professor has found through his research that those who drive sports cars and have blaring music through their radios, are the ones who are mostly high income folks while the folks who listen to softer, relaxing music are lower down on the income scale.

Now, that the research results are out, it would be good to pause for a moment and think about what type of music each and every one of us listen to and try to understand more about our natures. After all, at the end of a tiring long day, listening to good music is one of the few things that can be soothing and relaxing.

In fact, music, can even get us to take the stairs instead of the escalator. Case in point ... . ..
