No one in this world can stay away from power of Music! It stirs various emotions in us and also defines our behaviour traits. If you observe closely you can actually do a personality study based on the kind of music one likes. Whether it is music of Bach, Michael Jackson, Beatles, Adele, Lady Gaga or Justin Beiber, it surely acts as a handy guide to our personality study.

How music affects us depends on mainly two factors which is:

  1. Type of Personality

  • People who have high self esteem and creative are more inclined to Jazz and Blues genre of music.
  • Introverts are more attracted to Classical and Chilled Ambient genres.
  • Reggae and Rap music fans are more of extroverts and outgoing.
  • Rock and Heavy Metal lovers are mostly with low self esteem and creative but are usually extrovert.
  • Country music lovers are mostly hardworking
  • Electronic music lovers (Techno, Trance, Dubstep, etc.) are mostly party lovers and lively types.

A mix factor does work here i.e. certain type of music does create a different effect based on types of personality, irrespective of age. A 65-year-old scientist may be addicted to Justin Bieber music whereas a 15-year-old teenager might be a big fan of Bach! Off course this is not a generalized division.
