An online quiz might tell you that you're more outgoing if you like hip-hop, or that you're more conservative if you like classical music.

But is it true?

A number of studies have looked into this over the years.

For example, a 2010 study from Scotland's Heriot-Watt University asked over 36,000 people about 104 different types of music from around the world.

It found some connection between people's personalities and their musical tastes — in particular, creative people were more likely to enjoy classical music.

However, connections for other personality types weren't so strong. Instead, people's gender, income and age had more connection to their musical taste — with older people more likely to enjoy folk and jazz, and less likely to enjoy dance music, for example.

In fact, when researchers in Germany compared the results of 30 different studies in 2017, they found nearly no connection between musical taste and personality. Instead, they noted that age seemed to be the most important factor — since people tend to have the strongest connection to the music they heard as teens and young adults.

However, these results haven't satisfied everybody.

In 2022, for example, researchers in Israel, the UK and the US looked at data from nearly 360,000 people across six continents. And they said they did find connections between music and personality.

Creative people were again found to prefer classical music — as well as jazz, opera and dance music. Outgoing people preferred things like hip-hop and reggae. And empathetic people preferred country and gospel — as well as pop.

So that's it, right?

Well, not exactly.

Other studies have found different results — for example, that empathetic people prefer gentle music like soft rock and R&B, or that outgoing people enjoy folk and country.

So what does your taste in music say about you?

Well, it depends on which study you trust — and it might just tell people how old you are!
