Do you know the 1 contents of your playlist indeed give a important clues about your personality?
While listening to any type of music 2 fondly, you may not b truly recognize the reason why you
choose it, even if these choices are mostly deduced from 3 your momentary feelings. Yes, music
has a significant effect on the lives of people c throughout the world; that’s why 4 many researchers
have a great variety of studies on what individual factors might influence d people’s musical
preferences. 5 One of these large-scale studies, conducted by researchers at e Heriot-Watt University,
examined 6 more than 36,000 participants from f different parts of the world. 7 Participants rated
g more than 104 different musical styles along with offering information about aspects of their
personalities. Based on the study, there is 8 a link that people often make between who they are
as an individual and their musical tastes. h The researcher, Adrian North, states that people 9
sometimes be defensive on their taste in music choice might have a connection between how much
it relates to i attitudes and personality. 10 North also emphasizes that people identify themselves
through music and exploit it j as a tool to connect to other people.
