What Your Music Taste Reveals About You

This cognitive theory argues that empathizers are focused on the emotional qualities of music while systemizers are more interested in the structure and layers of a song.

But his findings run much deeper, and our music taste reveals a lot about our daily lives. Systemizers are statistically more likely to get a job in Maths or Science, whereas empathizers are better listeners, and find it much easier to put themselves in other people’s shoes.

Overall, Greenberg’s findings tell us that our music choices give us insight into our deeper psychological tendencies and personality.
