Do you think there is a relationship between a persons taste in music & intelligence?

[CrimsonTider]

because studies have proven there's a correlation. get over it.

Those "studies" can be manipulated to say whatever their agenda is.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

like i said a lot of these guys were raised to dumb themselves down for whatever stupid reason and it's evident in their music. but i guess as long as they "got rich" off it i suppose that makes up for everything

So how does securing your financial future warrant a nikka please comment.

You're trying to secure your financial future too right? Or do you think your route is more noble or respectful.?

Your Taste in Music Can Reveal How Smart You Are [Chart]

Your Taste in Music Can Reveal How Smart (or Dumb) You Are

Virgil Griffith, popularly known for the Wikipedia Scanner that detects where the Wikipedia edits are coming from, maintains another very interesting project that maps musical tastes of college students with their intelligences levels (determined by their SAT score).

The x-axis represent the SAT score while the colored boxes indicate the music genre and the artist / composer.

Music That Makes You Dumb
Fans of Lil Wayne‘s music scored the lowest in SAT while listeners of Beethoven‘s work were among the highest scorers. The full chart is available at Virgil Griffith‘s website (mirror).

To come up with this chart, Virgil used Facebook to determine the “Favorite music” of students in different colleges in the US and then combined their taste with the average SAT scores of students from these colleges. Smart.

The musical taste vs SAT score chart maps the 133 most popular (out of 1,455) favorite music from 1,352 schools. In terms of music genres, it follows like this &#8211; Soca < Gospel < Jazz < Hip Hop < Pop < Oldies < Raggae < Alternative < Classical < R&B < Rap < Rock < Country < Classic Rock < Techno in increasing order of SAT scores.

no surprises there...

The bolded is the operative word here.

Also, any studies about this shyt completely fail to take into account the cultural/societal norms of certain racial/social groups, and their social relation to the financial/educational system, making them pretty stupid and ill-informed.

 

[bsmooth]

How many kids listen to Lil Wayne compared to Beethoven? Sample sizes are completely different.

What backgrounds do kids who listen to Beethoven likely come from? Rich, privileged private school kids.

Not to mention that standardized testing such as SAT's are by no means a true measure of intelligence.

so only dumb asses have trash tv ratings as high as they are. stop it

 

[Majestic Pape]

That's not a bad point. Even Ke$ha admitted that she didn't listen to her own music for that reason. She also got a 1410 on her SATs (using the old model) so I guess there is at least a correlation there.

Who the fukk is Ke$ha?

dumbasses make up the majority of the US population. how do you think bush got elected twice. lol

 

[MikeBrownsJob]

There's a lot of deflecting in here.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

greatest to who?

bytch, don't be stupid right now.

you really wanna talk about a band that has 24 Gold Albums isn't one of the greatest ever?

these muthafukkas in their 60's...and they could go on tour right now, and that shyt would sell out in a matter of minutes.

just cause YOU dont listen to them, or didn't know anything about them...doesn't make them not great.

 

[wise prophet]

Someone who listens to nothing but chart topping radio hits...I don't think there's much of relationship between that and one's intelligence...or at least it's not so concrete.

However, I do believe someone who has an eclectic/diverse taste in music can, generally, "think outside the box."
