Question

Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other.    Then    one

day, Sue saw    Jim’s music collection. She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned.    At    that

moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking. Sue said, “1 thought we had nothing in common (相同）until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.

Some psychologists (心理學家）think that your music is related to (有聯(lián)系的）your personality. As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their ^ravourite songs. The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality — outgoing (外向的)，adventurous (大膽的)，happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others’ personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or their favourite films. For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities.

The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dog (hip-hop) fans may be energetic and like to talk. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.

The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong (jazz) fans tend to (傾向于）be shy. The

psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.
