The problem we are trying to solve with this study, revolves around the misconceptions regarding personality tests. Our study revolves specifically around the MBTI, arguably the most popular personality assesment. This is a test which provides a 'self evaluation', assigning each test taker one of its 16 personality types, evalulating them based on introversion versus extroversion, sensing versus intution, thinking versus feeling, and lastly judging versus perceiving, And while these self assesments can seem harmless, looking further back with a more psychological pov, the heavy hit this test has had on society limits the idea of what humans can be.

These are tests used by employers to decide what positions people should work in, schools to help its students decide a carreer, and media that use these 16 types to tell an audience how to act accordingly to their own. An assesment which believes people are one fixed idea. Easy to sort as it it to distinguish between black and white, ignoring how grey people truly are. People contradict themselves, have traits only for certain people or themselves, and are always changing, which is something the MBTI 16 personality types ignore. We are everlastingly growing as we experience more of the world around us. People learn and grow into who they desire, personality and mindsets, skills and talents changing over time. And thats not to say everybody can be everything at once. People have certain traits and skills that are different from those around them. Someone who is good at painting may not be skilled in sculpting, and vise versa. But the main issue with the MBTI is that it gives people the idea of being a fixed collection of certain traits and skills, which in reality are constantly on the move. Deciding who they are, and what people can and can't do. Hence why employers love to use them, as it allows a quick overview on who somebody may not be anymore, or at least slightly different. And our study plans to prove the ideas of the MBTI wrong and show the complexity of humans, using something as simple as a persons music taste.

Our goal with this experiment is to prove that the MBTI of our participants is not exactly accurate to who they are by recording the data found by their music taste. (with music psychology) 

1. Get everyone to take the MBTI, or have them give it to us- Our job is understand what that personality type means 

• Many things about you affect the music you listen to. Things such as emotion, personality, and past experiences
• Music taste can also change throughout the course of a person's lifetime, as you go through life and experience and change! 
• Many things about a song can draw us to it, such as a physical feeling such as chills, or emotion. 

2. Weekly we collect the music listened to by our participants, and make them answer certain questions. 

• Why did you listen to these song? (how were you feeling, what was the situation, etc) 
• What song did you listen mostly throughout the week? (how were you feeling, what was the situation, etc) 
• Are these songs you've listened to before, or something new?
• Does your music this week vary greatly in genre, or not?  

3. These 4 questions will be answered via a survey on google forms, which will be sent to all of our particpants weekly. We will send it through email, and collect the data by the google form stats. 

Rough Survey Look 
This is a survery which either Jagreet Dhaliwal or Zimmel Nadir will send to you via Email. You will recieve this survery every Saturday, and must complete it before Monday. Please answer the questions honestly and to the best of your abilities. This survey is anonymous, so your names will be unknown to us regarding your answers. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us through the Emails provided, based on who sent you the survey. (Enter our Emails) 

1. Please enter your MBTI. If you are unaware, please take the test here (enter link) 

-All MBTI types

2. What were your top 10 songs of the week? Please give the name, the artist, and a brief description on the 'vibe'. (sad, upbeat, etc) 

3. Does your music this week vary greatly in genre, or not?  

4. Why did you listen to these songs?  (how were you feeling, what was the situation, etc) 

5. What song did you listen mostly throughout the week? (how were you feeling, what was the situation, etc) 

6. Are these songs you've listened to before, or something new?

What makes us drawn to pseudoscience? Fighting Pseudoscience with Science Communication

Typically those who reinforce these ideas, which are entertaining in nature, and have developed and spread the misinformation of these idea. Such as Isabel and Katherine (the founders of the Myers Brigg), as well as all others who continue to use these ideas, reinforcing them. 

A lecture at the university of maine, given by Milo Rossi, discussed how we can fight pseudoscience with science communication. His speech covers pseudoarchaeology in specifics, however his points apply to other pseudosciences, and why we these ideas are extremely popular.

1. Flashy - They are attention grabbing, and catch your eye with a hook or an image. The MBTI used this in, with the characters that are associated with each personality. These characters serve as a symbol for the types, and have attracted almost a kind of fandom among those who are interested in the MBTI, which videos of the characters interacting and having their own traits and quirks, as if they were part of a book or show. 

2. Accessible 

The MBTI rise in popularity and the fact it is free, simple quiz format, and familiar nature, makes it accessible and easy for these ideas to spread and gain a following, rather than more nuisances, complicated scientific ideas and paper which aren't available to the general public in the way personality quizzes are. 

3. Simple 

Again, the concise and straightforward methodology of the MBTI and its familiar quiz format, are simple in nature, meaning more people understand and connect with something, which at the end of the day, isn't true. 

Whats the problem? 

The grand issue as stated by Rossi, ia that it undermines actual science. 

The clear difference between what is true and what is false, becomes blurred and undermined. And after a while, when these accessible, easy to understand, and attention grabbing works, such as the MBTI, causes less trust and belief in actual science

What even is music psychology?

Music psychology - understanding the ways in which people react to music, from the way they respond, remember, and create to it. It has grown as an interconnected component within the many branches of psychology, with the understanding of

- and personality psychology (studying the nature and development of personality) Personality

All of these branches of psychology, go hand in hand with music psychology, as the songs and tunes we indulge in throughout our lives affect who we are, in many areas. 

According to foundation in music psychology by Daniel J. Levitin, Peter J. Rentfrow, the reason that music has a psychological on us as humans is due to pitch and melody

PITCH is the the sound of music, produced by the waves making it. Pitch Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster how high or low the note is, determined by the frequencies (number of waves in a given second) What is Frequency? | Definition, Formula & Examples - Lesson | Study.com. 

Of its vibrations. A guitar, ukulele, and bass all have LOW pitches, and HIGH pitches. Initially, pitch is how high or low a no, depending on the waves frequency.What Is Pitch in Music? Yousician

December 30 2024 

But how do these features of music actually affect the brain? ( In all the ways in which it does, regarding all the branches of psychology it is a part of.) 

https://archive.org/details/musicinstincthow0000ball_u5a9/page/n9/mode/2up

This book (Deutsch, D., ed. 2013. The psychology of music. 3d ed. San Diego, CA: Elsevier.) 

strives to ask the question of why music is comprehendible, through aesthetics and emotion. It is human made, so it cant be anything mathematical. 

It states that it has been complicated to find why we these frequencies and pitches and harmonies mean anything to us. How the pitch forms a melody, creating harmony,  timed as rhythm. All as vibrations in the air. But has come to the discovery that our brain filters this music a mix of art, science, and emotion.

He quotes steven pinker by his book how the mind works describing music as cheesecake, a sweet desert used to tickle our senses. He went on to say that music is a ‘pleasure technology’ and that if it disappeared from earth nothing would happen. This remark sparked an outrage, and led to the mission to prove that music was more than something fun for your ears. There are many things throughout human history we technically didn't need to adapt to in order to survive, and yet have had a deep affect through our cultures and us as humans. 

Joseph Caroll is an english professor who states that art and music aren't simply a stimulation for the taste buds. These works and pieces embody emotion and ideas. 

_________

When we listen to music, the info is sent through the cochlea of our ears to the brain stem. In other words, the music and all of its vibrations and harmonies and everything that makes it up from the lyrics to the melody, from the cochlea in your ear (the part of your ear which responds to vibrations! What is the function of Cochlea? ) that info from your brain stem gets interpreted to the primary auditory cortex (basically where the sound first hits your brain, hence why it goes from the brain stem to this place first The Auditory Cortex of Hearing and Deaf People are Almost Identical - Neuroscience News ) 

 

And then that sound gets sent throughout different parts of the brain. The pitch of the music is interpreted by something called the Heschel’s gyrus in the temporal lobe (literally the part of the brian which interprets sound frequency etc)  and the planum temporale (to simplify it, it is responsible for processing language)  Three language areas of the cerebral cortex that have been the focus of studies on neuroanatomical ... - Biology Forums Gallery  

 

A neuroscientist by the name of Isabelle Peretz and co workers at the university of Montreal, researched that the right hemisphere of the brain processes when the pitch rises and falls or as they describe it ‘the global pattern of pitch contours’ and the left hemisphere more detailed versions of the pitch. With all this brain action, our brain is doing far more then just taking in these pitches but interpreting them and breaking them down. 

The thalamus (a sensory spot in your brain which processes the things you send it through your senses such as music) will as the book describes ‘take a quick look’,  before communicating with the amygdala, where emotion will be processed. So a happy pitch to upbeat melody making an uplifting song, in theory should send your amygdala to process the emotion happiness. And vise versa for a song that may be on the down low, with slow pitches and sad harmonies. But even with all the little brain things going on,  talking about the emotions we feel from music are quite a difficult phenomenon to explain, as is with any art. Its not concrete or can be perfectly crafted really! 

Edward Hanslick who wrote The beautiful in music, was keen on studying this conundrum. There was no doubt music prevailed emotion, but he came to the conclusion that science may never appeal to an explanation of the of the sound converted to a state of mind. The book describes music to be not a pill taken and prescribed by doctors when your feeling blue. I think it has to do with your interpretation of the music, from your own experiences of a life you lived. Yes you can scientifically craft the song of a lifetime, but at the end of the day, the emotions an audience can feel from it depend on them. This is especially true for lyrics, which in a way are literature no? A Case for Lyrics and How They Impact Our Emotions — MAPP Magazine

So the human emotion is surely complicated. Constantly changing as our music taste changes as we grow older and experience the world around us. Our music helping us reflect the complicated beings of our internal emotion science still has yet to get perfectly right. Truly we are complex and hard to figure out. How can a personality test decipher that for you? 

And to be clear, this isn't a project to reject the ideas of MBTI that help on perhaps understanding the base idea of a person, or as a something to do for fun. Or even to diminish the idea of personality. However it seems our use and believability of this test by creeping it into our everyday lives and actions, in careers and work places, and how it doesnt take into accounatbiliy how humans are more complex than the personality label others take advantage of.

Hallam, S., I. Cross, and M. Thaut, eds. 2009. The Oxford handbook of music psychology

Bodily response to music 

Music affects the brain but also can affect the parts of your body such as your heart rate and blood pressure. 

There are physiological responses (internal body responds such asHeart rate) and physical responses (external)  (maybe even behavioural) 

And while we are putting these ideas into simple to understand ideas, there isn't really a sharp box to fit them into. 

Physiological 

Change in heart rate- fast staccatos increasing it and low calm music slowing it down 

Breathing - followed the musical rhythm. 

Affects your Skin temperature, muscle tension  (although studies are quite inconsistent) 

Chills - as blood flow heads to places in your brain which signify a reward, motivation, and emotion. More blood, more of this, more chills! 

Pupils dilate to calm music and expand to fast stuff. 

Physical

A synchronized tapping to the music, bopping your head, and all these things you do subconsciously when your in the music zone. 

Emotional Responses to Music 

Emotion is a huge reason why we listen to music! Its to change their emotions, to match them, spill them out and comfort. But why? It is elusive or hard tp grasp. (if the field of music psychology is having a hard time gathering your emotions, how is a test going to assign these straight up?) 

There is the perception of music - where you understand the emotions of the song 

And responding to that emotion - feeling that emotion for yourself. 

Emotion is described as brief (perhaps lasting a few hours), however intense reactions to certain events. (and the MBTI allows ist test takers to put them in certain boxes on how they perceive emotion… hmm…. How does each of the MBTI types express their emotions? - Quora ) 

What are some factors? 

The music itself 

The author predicts it will be difficult to find direct links towards a song and emotion, but states of an experiment done by sloboda’s in 1991, where he asked over 80 participants over a wide range of ages to link a part of a song where they felt strong emotion. Maybe were able to give them, but about a third were not able to. 

And even them music which was associated with tears or crying sent chills, or when music did something unexpected. 

Individual factors 

Personality, age, gender and all of these things do affect a persons reaction to music, and is typically the main reason someone listens to music. 

Situational Factors 

Physical factors - visual conditions and time and place 

Social factors - an audience, together, alone 

Special occasions - vacation or party 

Performances 

How does music induce emotion? How does music make you feel? | BPS 

-memory attached to a song 

-mood during listening 

-resulting from ‘chills’ from the reward system in your brain 

-a complex mix of the music, the person themselves, and the situation

 What is personality?  

 Personality  

-we all do have a personality! They aren't something completely fabricated by these tests. In fact there is an entire branch of psychology focusing on psychology. 

- personality is a set of traits and behaviours a person possesses, typically shaped by a persons experiences and how they have adjusted to life. 

Overview of Personality Psychology 

•  Personality psychology studies the development of personality, and traits and behaviours. 
• A personality in unique! It makes you who you are, as you have your own set of experiences which shape your characteristics and behaviours. 
• But there is no straightforward answer, as a lot of these sources mention…its difficult to put a concrete and definite answer for things like personality and emotion.Many factors make up your personality! 
• Such as genetics, what you experience, and how you were raised. 

Gordon W. Allport | Department of Psychology

• There was a man names Gordon W Allport, who was a leading figure in the development and research on personality
• My mans said , “My plea … is that we avoid authoritarianism, that we keep psychology from becoming a cult from which original and daring inquiry is ruled out by the application of one-sided tests of method; that we come to evaluate our science rather by its success in enhancing … our powers of predicting, understanding, and controlling human action. As an aid to progress I have tried especially to strengthen the case for research upon complex patterns of human mental organization, frames of reference, the subject's point of view, and the act of understanding
• I think this can apply to how personality tests take a complicated field about the nuisances about personality, a one sided test based on a limited group of people when used in the wrong hands, instead of helping you get a glimpse on who you are it limits who you can be. Because the problem isn't these tests and their existence. Maybe you can discover something about yourself, narrow down some options, and have some fun! But its when its all you think you are, and what companies see you as. Its complicated and nuisance, forever changing in some way. Just know, your more complicated than an MBTI result. 
• Anyway, his actual theory was a three tiered hierarchy of personality traits 
• Cardinal traits -  big traits that make up a large part of your personality. Not very common amongst people Trait Theorists | Introduction to Psychology.
• Central traits- typically basic building blocks of your personality, and is most common. They are many and major! What Are Cardinal Traits of Personality?. 
• Secondary traits - kind of secret undercover traits. Not as common an central traits and come out usually only in specific times. 

Personality | Definition, Types, Nature, & Facts | Britannica

• Ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Can be inherited and acquired. Unique to everyone. 

Does Personality Exist? | Psychology Today Canada

-does personality even exist??????

- well, kind of. Humans are always a shade of gray, not exactly black and white. 

-we are all the same in many way, however unpredictable, making us unique. 

-its not all or nothing, like the myers briggs may suggest 

- its alllll so complicated. This guy says that he acts like an extrovert, and yet truly is an introvert. Doing well in fields where extroverts excel, and doing well in large groups. 

- we don't like to be confused! We want answers! We want a why! So we make things to help make sense of them in a simplifies manner. So, we put labels! 

- but as this guy says it - I contend that a more accurate way of looking at it is as a series of socially derived continua for commonly observed response tendencies.

- and hope to advance our understanding, and have strong research

Can Personality Change? | Psychology Today Canada 

• They do evolve over the span of their lifetime 
• They never really stop changing either 
• Maybe through maturity, other life events or experiences, or new revelations
• You grow a more distinct profile as you grow older

Can personality traits predict musical style preferences? A meta-analysis.

• But an analysis conducted  by  Schäfer and Mehlorn, using the big five personality traits, showed that the relation between personality and music preference may have an affect the largest discover on the trait of openness, but there isn't that large of a corelation between the two. Even the largest one was still minor.

Personality and music psychology 

The Neuroscience of Musical Tastes 

• Musical tastes grow with us over time, as they are influences by what we feel, something we went through, and interactions with others. Why do you think love songs are so popular? 
• Therefore there seems to be some sort of personal connection to music and personal identity. 
• As we know, the connection between a person and music is who they are, the music itself, and the situation. 
• And personality can be a part of someone which affects music preferences 
• And we know that music that sticks around gives us ‘chills’, because as discussed when music does something unexpected it gives us a reward signal in the brain. 
• And also discussed, you can listen to music for many reasons such as wanting to copy the songs emotion, or be in tune with your own. 
• But different people prefer different music! Some prefer the chill lo-fi beats, other classical music 
• But as you live, you experience things, and your music preferences may change. 
• If you are going through a rough time perhaps you choose music to counteract these feelings, or embrace them. 
• But there is more to simply what you choose! 
• There is also slight evidence to prove that your music taste can tell people a bit about your personality. 
• But in addition to this, music preference can also be related to artists they relate to.  
• But like everyone is unique and their music reflects that yayyyy!!! 
• Universals and variations in musical preferences: A study of preferential reactions to Western music in 53 countries.
• In this passage, the book ‘journal of personality and social psychology’ describes a theory to answer the question if there are universal patterns in music patterns. 
• Basing the theory on personality, cultural, and music psychology across from 356,649 people across six continents for western music
• This study found there was indeed a pattern between personality. Those who related themselves with more extroverted personalities listened to more upbeat and electronic music, while those who were has open traits had, as the the passage describes it ‘sophisticated’ 

IMPACT OF MUSIC THERAPY IN PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT 

-this paper ‘IMPACT OF MUSIC THERAPY IN PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT’ by Shveata Mishra, & Ina Shastri talks about this topic as well 

- it describes music as an extension of personality. (what does this mean???) 

- as we grow older music related to us less, our taste varying more. Showing that as we develop, our music taste does as well.

- and in addition, its a big emotion driver as well (as discussed many times) 

A musicologist explains the science behind your taste in music 

• Nolan Gasser, a musicologist who wrote “Why You Like It: The Science and Culture of Musical Taste”
• He says that, “I actually use the term ‘intraculture’ to describe cultures that take place within a culture,” he explains, likening them to subgenres of music. “A lot of it has to do with where you grew up and what kind of musical influences are in the air, but we participate in so many subcultures of affinity, just based on what we like. Intercultures provide us with access to music just because you’re a part of a group, and that group means something to you.”
• So music taste also comes from what you perhaps grew up listening to, and what we are influences by externally. 

Just so were clear on whats actually going on. The PROBLEM isn't necessarily the existence of these personality tests. They can be used for fun and to maybe get an idea of your traits, and maybe narrow down some things about you. Its insead when its all you see yourself as, which when media pushes it down your throat, its used to find careers which use these tests to put you in positions, it limits the idea of your own potential. It puts limits and boundaries, the idea that you are one and cant change. But personality inst something thats nots real, it just has more nuisance than what these tests provide. And music, associated with music psychology, can play a big role with personality and emotion. So the idea is with music psychology applied to the music people listen to, we will disprove these ideas. I have researched only emotion so far, but I will research tomorrow what personalty is and then what it has to do with music. 

Right now for an idea of the experiment, we get everyone's MBTI and see what they really mean. Well see later as more research comes up. 

December 27 2024: Jagreet

I started off by researching the types of MBTI personality tests and what it really is! 

So what MBTI stands for is Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Its a tool to understand peoples personality types based on how they prefer to 

1. Take in information (sensing vs. intuition)
2. Make decisions (thinking vs. feeling)
3. Focus their energy (introversion vs. extroversion)
4. Organize their life (judging vs perceiving) 

These factors sort people into 16 different types of personalities like INFJ, ENTP, etc.. which really describe how they think, feel, react and etc..

https://jobtalk.indiana.edu/HRMWebsite/hrm/articles/develop/mbti.pdf?utm_source=

• How does MBTI personality tests help a person find out what career is best suited to them?: The scores suggest to you that Mary is a logical person who is achievement oriented, quick to identify flaws in others, and values truth over tact in herself and others. Based on these observations, you conclude that Mary may not be well suited for work that requires empathy for others' feelings and tolerance for ambiguity. Instead, you suggest to Mary that her strong points are tile ability to focus her attention upon objective information and to make rational decisions. You then advise Mary to consider alternative careers that match her education, abilities, values, and personality.
• History behind MBTI tests: The MBTI was developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katherine Briggs. Katherine Briggs became interested in type theory after reading Carl Jung's book, Psychological Type. Isabel Briggs Myers shared her mother's interest in type theory and began to create the MBTI in the early l940s as a test to be used for personnel selection.3 Myers believed that different occupations favored different personality orientations, and that Jung's theory provided a theoretical link between personality and job performance. 

January 5, 2025 Jagreet:

• Notes on other peoples opinions on personality tests by watching a video called “personality tests are dumb…and dangerous” By: Wisecrack

History!

                    -Starts around the 1900s when Katherine Briggs turns her living room into a cosmic laboratory of baby training. Her hopes to make her n                         daughter “perfect”. 

-Katherine starts observations about neighborhood children's personality traits 

-she then discovered Carl Youngs eight different personality types. But Young himself concluded that these were not very accurate types these were based off observations rather then real sourceable research. 

-Even after Katherine found out about this she still became very interested in these personality types to the point where she made crazy fan fiction about Young’s different personality types

-after years she finally found a way for pseudoscientific taxonomy for placing personalities into Young’s three categories which were, Introversion and extroversion, sensing and intuition, feeling and thinking then she added a fourth category which was judging and perceiving. 

-she views this project of hers as a “spiritual calling” to help people better understand themselves and improve their character. Left off 5:11

Info from the video: “Do personality tests work?” -Merve Emre By Ted-Ed 

Link: https://youtu.be/lN7Fmt1i5TI?si=YpbjzCT3jhSgmm5U

The Reliability and Relevance of Personality Tests

-Personality tests have gained immense popularity in workplaces, educational settings, and even social interactions. One notable video by Merve Emre, “Do Personality Tests Work?”, critically examines these tools, particularly the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Emre highlights a key issue: while personality tests are often used for self-discovery and professional development, their scientific foundation is questionable.

-The MBTI, one of the most widely used tests, is based on Jungian psychology and divides people into 16 personality types. However, as Emre explains, this framework lacks empirical support and fails to account for the complexity of human behavior. For instance, the test assumes personality is static and categorizes individuals into binary opposites (e.g., introvert vs. extrovert), which oversimplifies the fluid and situational nature of personality.

- Emre emphasizes that while these tests can be fun and engaging, they should be approached critically. Blind reliance on personality tests can lead to misinterpretation and even misuse, such as employers making hiring decisions based on unscientific results.

-This insight from Emre shows the need for caution when using personality assessments. Instead of seeing them as definitive measures, they should be treated as tools for self-reflection rather than determinants of identity or capability.

This point of view ensures the video is accurately referenced while connecting its content to broader discussions about the reliability and ethical use of personality tests.

Comparison time!!: What I realized is that both videos discuss personality tests but focus on different aspects. In Merve Emre’s video they explain how these tests, like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), are designed and point out their flaws. She suggests that these tests might not accurately reflect a person’s true personality. On the other hand, Wisecrack’s video, “Personality Tests Are Dumb… And Dangerous,” argues that personality tests are not only inaccurate but can also be harmful. They talk about how these tests might lead to unfair judgments or decisions, especially in areas like hiring for jobs.

In simple terms, while both videos question the accuracy of personality tests, Emre focuses on their design problems, and Wisecrack emphasizes the potential dangers of using them. Understanding these differences is important because it helps us think critically about using personality tests in real life.

All songs I've listened to before, I'm too lazy to download new songs online, I like my music taste how it is and I'm too tired to do anything.

This is a good representation of what I usually listen to (folk, folk-rock, classical crossover, chill-hop) and some of my favourite artists. The Lord Huron song and the Philanthrope song came out last week, but I listen to those artists quite a bit. I've been listening to a ton of Bob Dylan since watching the movie "A Complete Unknown" a few weeks ago. Before that, I rarely listened to him.

i didnt listen to music alot this week cus we only had 3 days of school and i usually listen to music on the bus. but i really just listen to music that sounds good.

Low, blue, down, sad, depressed. I got some really bad news so I was just sitting in my room listening to these on repeat

Mostly I just wanted something to distract me from school. I mostly listened to these songs on the bus or in the hallway.

Luther and Sports car were songs that were recently released so I was curious as to what they sounded like. The other songs I listened to when I put my playlist on shuffle; I usually play music in the morning so I need some upbeat music to wake me up.

I’ve listened to most of these songs before. I listened to the ones I’ve heard before because I like repetition and consistency. I listened to some different ones though because I wanted to sing along with something at home, and my usual rap has too many swears for my household

All The Stars is something I've listened to before. I'm listening to it again because I like how calming it is.

I've listen to luther on the radio before but it was mostly the Superbowl performance that brought my attention back to this song.

It ain't me, babe - Bob Dylan - my Dylan phase continues! I find myself listening to him when I'm drawing or chillin' Most of the Time - Bob Dylan (folk) - same as above Moon Dog - Leif Vellebekk (folk - a little sad) - mellow, chill - going to his concert on Tuesday so want to listen to him more. A Shimmer - Nils Frahm (super mellow piano music) - every morning I listen to a playlist that I made called "A Quiet Morning". It consists of music like this. Since it's on random, I don't know what song plays most, but this song is a good example of the genre and is my favourite songs ever. Terlingua - Gregory Alan Isakov (folk) - chill folk. By far my favourite artist of the past five years, the one I come back to like the sun returns to the horizon. His music like black coffee while watching flocks of starlings, like smell of cedar shavings, black dirt, and green grass after a rain. His music comforts and centres me. I listened to lots of his music while driving and looking for owls this weekend. Alas, no owls. Everything is Peaceful Love - Bon Iver (alternative folk). Love this dude. Funky creative digital folk tunes. He announced a new album after five long years. I'm pumped, so I listened to this long a bunch. Love the digital backing drums mixed with gritty steel guitar. Day Old Thoughts - Arny Margret (folk) - Super chill. I stumbled into this Icelandic singer through a random "acoustic mix" and I'm hooked. I listened to her tunes on repeat all week. sniglar - Arny Margret (folk) the world is between us - Arny Margret (folk) they only talk about the weather - Arny Margret (folk)

Seee every time u guys always ask for some deep phlishopical reason on why we listen to these songs. Why can't we just listen to the music beucase it's good? Why does it always have to mean more to be more? It makes just wonder who would ever write a qestion like this. Do they not just appreciate good music for what it is? It's making me crash out. U guys just don't understand. You don't truly get it. Music is an art form. It's a form of expression so why do we have to look and examine it like this? Music is not meant to be studied but enjoyed.

2. Why did you listen to these songs?  (how were you feeling, what was the situation, etc)

Mumford and Sons, Malibu - Love this band and they announced a new album on Friday along with these two great songs. It's a throwback to their early bluegrass tunes and it motivated me to go back and listen to their first album as well. Mumford and Sons, Rushmere (folk/bluegrass/rock) - same Leif Vollebekk, Peace and Mind - Went to this concert on Tuesday and it was friggin' incredible, so now I'm listening to even more of his tunes. Leif Vollebekk, Elijah Rose - same Stephan Moccio, Home - I listen to this type of music every day in the morning. This a lovely song. Nils Frahm, Towards Zero - same as above. However, this song has birds in the background, birds that are common to Germany, for example the chiffchaff, and it reminds me of my trip there last year, so I listened to it several times. Van Morrison, Into the Mystic - this album is incredible, so I listened to it while working. One of my favourite songs of all time, one I want played at my funeral. Something out of Nothing, Slow - stumbled onto this jazz album and love it. Arny Margret, signar - continue to listen to her, super mellow for chillin'. Arny Margret, the wind was blowing - same

3. What song did you listen mostly throughout the week? (how were you feeling, what was the situation, etc

 

Likely Malibu by Mumford and Sons. I was feeling nostalgic for their tunes and how influential they were for me around 2010. Also, Peace of Mind by Leif because of that mindblowing concert and the meaning of the lyrics.

I listened to these songs before. I am listening to them again because I was listening to my playlist and they songs came on while I was listening to my playlist.

This experiment has made one thing clear; people are complex and can't be fully explained by these popular personality quizzes. Some of the music choices did match up with personality traits, but the majority of them didn't, (referring to the music and explanation given to each MBTI via the 16 personalities website)  And people may have stuck to certain genres, but the types of music ranged in tempo, pitch, and harmony created new and unique sounds which changed throughout the week. And depended on how an individual was feeling, their situtation, and the people around them. Even individuals with the same MBTI had very different music preferences, even if they expressed the same emotions that week. Showing that people are more complicated than this personality assesment may suggest. In some cases there are stark changes shown of individuals throughout the weeks,reflectng different mental states, ideas, and exploration of oneself through music. Teachers, high school, middle school, and elementary students all reflect this. This goes against the ideas of the MBTI, which suggest very specifc scenarios and types of music for each personality. More often than not, there were vastly different moods and and sometimes different songs seen each week. This supports our hypothesis that the MBTI categorizes people as one, the descriptions on their website itself being very narrow in terms of a reason as to why someone may listen to a certain genre. 

There are many different branching reasons as to why somone may listen to a song. Our research being based in music psychology as well, helps us illustrate this. Take an INTJ as example. Said to be logical and efficient thus enjoying classical music, being revealed to be listening to disorienting music, enducing adrenaline and therefore a flight or fight response. Or perhaps an INTP, whos apparently is supposed to be listening to loud punk music to embrace their nature of rejecting tradtion, listening to the sweet and melodic rhthyms of pop music. While we can't say for certain the motives of our partipants are as the MBTI may suggest, its been made clear that these quizzes suggest certain people work in succinct fashions, when in fact that isn't reality. This is an assesment which should be taken for fun. Perhaps to understand yourself better, or see yourself in a new light, but the MBTI does not reflect people in their entirety. And relying on them for such purposes, is only detrimental to how we percieve ourselves in what we can do, and where we can go in our futures. So to conclude, how does your music taste prove the pseudoscience of the MBTI? By displaying the contradictions, complex nature, and ranging emotions of real life people.
