The music you listen to shows who you are.
We all have a favorite musical artist or genre. Music can give us inspiration or influence our mood. But have you ever thought about why you enjoy the music that you do? Researchers have discovered that music preferences and listening habits can reveal a lot about a person. While it is hard to say for sure, some research suggests that personality can determine the genres of music that we like.
Of course, one person may enjoy many styles of music at different times and for different reasons. But scientists have noticed a few trends or connections between personalities and musical preferences. For example, people who love pop music tend to be extroverted, while people who enjoy country music are typically outgoing and traditional.
While those examples may not be too surprising, other connections might be less expected. For instance, people who listen to heavy rock music actually tend to be gentle and introverted. Fans of hip-hop and rap are usually friendly and have high self-esteem. While people can never be defined by their musical taste, it is interesting to consider why certain genres appeal to us and how our preferences might be influenced by our personality.

你聽的音樂會反映出你是什麼樣的人。
我們都有一個最喜歡的音樂家或音樂類型。音樂能啟發我們或影響我們的心情。但你有想過為什麼你如此享受你喜愛的音樂嗎?研究人員發現音樂偏好及聆聽習慣可以很大程度地披露一個人。雖然難以確切言明，但一些研究指出個性會決定我們所喜愛的音樂類型。
當然，一個人可能會在不同的時間出於不同的原因欣賞多種風格的音樂。然而科學家注意到一些個性和音樂喜好間的趨勢或關聯。比方說，喜歡流行音樂的人往往更外向一些，而喜歡鄉村音樂的人則通常較好交際和傳統。
雖然上述這些例子可能不太令人驚訝，但除此之外的關聯則可能更少被料到。譬如，聽重搖滾音樂的人們其實可能偏向溫柔且內向。嘻哈和饒舌音樂的粉絲通常友善而自尊心較高。雖然不能完全以音樂品味來定義人們，去思考為何某種特定的音樂類型吸引我們，還有我們的音樂喜好如何受我們的個性影響，依然是很有趣的。
