I am aware SAT tests are not an accurate representation of intelligence and this study obviously isn't very scientific, but its kinda interesting to see where the bands/styles are located.
As a Pink Floyd, Radiohead and Zeppelin fan I'm represented fairly well. (That's not to say I don't listen to Weezy and Luda. I just listent to more classic rock)
Where are your musical preferences? Does it correlate well with your intelligence?
A few things:
ReplyDelete1) Where is Celine Dion on this list? She was ROBBED.
2) I think that what's fundamentally more interesting about this "study" would be to contrast this list with socioeconomic class, music preferences and SAT scores. At the end of the day, the SAT has been proven to be a classist/sexist/racist test. I think that particular music also happens to be particularly popular among certain socioeconomic groups.
3) I'm surprised at The Postal Service. Study harder next year, boys!
I am surprised at how high on the scale the grateful dead fans were, I guess pot can't be that bad for you
