Personality and music survey
« on: April 30, 2010, 04:37:10 pm »

Hello. For a school project, we needed to write a paper on some question related to human nature and development. The question I chose was 'does personality affect preferences in music?' To answer this, I created a survey. I'd appreciate it if you could take a minute or two to fill out a copy and post it here. Thanks!

Describe yourself: Below are groups of words in rows. Score each group of words giving yourself (4) for the most like you, (3) for the second, (2) for the third, and (1) for the least like you. Score words across. When you are done, please add up the total values in each column.

   Opportunistic      Traditional          Harmonious          Inventive
   Spontaneous       Responsible         Compassionate    Competent

__Competitive      __Practical         __Unique            __Curious
   Impetuous          Sensible             Empathic            Conceptual

(If you want to mush the world music together, my 4th choice is probably Bluegrass.  I don't count "video game music" as a genre)

1: 70s-90s Rock

2: Unique / comedy

3: Delta Blues

I don't have a favorite band, and it was really tough to come up with genres. I wouldn't have, normally. I just grab a song or two from any given artist, the rest are usually quite shitty. Certain specific bands seem to put out more goodies than normal, but every band has put out some worthless garbage.
