why would your music taste correlate with that? i know plenty of intelligent people whose music taste is incredibly narrow, there's no way that's true

i think there may be a link between genre and intelligence, but not a very strong link, i think music taste in enviromental so basically all the kids at one school will listen to similar music and so on, i don;t think it's linked to intelligence

It may be an indicator of your intelligence type, sure. I hate music snobs though.

I think it can say a lot about a person, and it can certainly have a correlation, but correlation =/= causation.
In my experience, many people that I would deem... less than intelligent listen to mainstream, angry but empty music and will often believe this 'righteousness' makes them seem intelligent, unique and edgy.
There's the even STUPIDER ones that seem to listen to and subsequently speak like their "urban" music. These are the same people that dress in tracksuits, fake gold jewellery and yell at "fuckin' hippies" on the street corner (= I don't think your music taste is really linked with intelligence, but that the music you listen to is often dictated by your social group, which IS often indicative of your intelligence.

I don't think music taste correlates with how intelligent you are. As Tubbz said, music taste is more linked to your environment than anything. In my case, I think the reason I like so many different genres of music is that I grew up surrounded by different types of people. My parents listen to Brit rock mainly (Cream, the Beatles, the Who, and so on). My babysitters would listen to KTU and Z100, the dance and hit music stations respectively, so I was exposed to that. I would go on trips and my camp counselors listened to HOT97, the local hip hop/rap/r&b station. I grew to like these genres because it was familiar to me. I got older and started to discover music on my own. As I grow older, my music taste evolves with my personality. I have music for my different moods and phases. I have a few constant bands, with music so versatile that it fits every mood, but I'm in love with music, so I'll listen to anything so long as I feel changed or inspired by it afterward. [/novel]
