      Yesterday I was in a very bad mood when I took this test. I took it again today and the results are more accurate
      94 % enjoys reflective and complex music
      43 % enjoys edgy and aggressive music
      25 % enjoys fun and simple music
      75 % enjoys energetic and upbeat music

    I think that test is quite flawed...it doesn't define any of its categories so you're getting quite an inaccurate estimation of personalities because it depends on the individual's definitions...
    1. acousticguitarist
      I think it's spot on in my case
    2. Epicharis
      it's going to be spot on in most cases because it's so vague...
    3. MadMadMargo
      Very accurate in my case.
    4. timethief
      Of course it's flawed. All of these tests and quizzes I post are flawed and vague. And every time I post one even when I have used tags like "fun" and "entertainment" in the past there are always members who provide this kind of feedback. I think the best approach to take is to view it as a "fun" thing and not as being "definitive".
    5. Epicharis
      I get that...it just seems to present itself as a scientific test rather than a fun test.
    6. crpitt
      I found it to be quite accurate actually and it was fun
    7. timethief
      @SiuilARuin
      But it's up to us to choose to have a good time or to choose not to, right? Frankly I think I marked the yest boxes wrongly when it came to the edgy & aggressive and fun categories.

      BTW we can provide feedback on accuracy and we can also take the test more than once.

      Would you like to watch an Indy film with me?

    2. aningeniousname
      Or a documentary would be nice, we could put on a cartoon for Claire.
    3. Anok
      I can do documentaries.

      I also have classic Bugs - but I think Claire hates Bugs Bunny...
    4. aningeniousname
      To really live up to the report we would have to watch a documentary on classic independent foreign films while reading a book on opera and being liberal with our diverse and sophisticated wisdom about politics.
    5. crpitt
      Why do I get a cartoon? I do hate Bugs Bunny, well remembered!
    6. aningeniousname
      Because you only scored 72 per cent on the reflective and complex, they say anything under 73 per cent is a sign of retardation and possible welsh genes.

    The descriptions of my highest and lowest scores were right on (high score for reflective and complex music, low score for fun and simple). The other two descriptions were less accurate, but since I scored more towards the middle of those two, I guess that makes sense.

    I get kicks from every sort of music.

    As for the accuracy of the test I'm not sure if I'm superliberal, isn't that something made up by the test cause most reflective and edgy people tend to have more political views then those who prefer fun, simple and energetic music?
  18. legbamel
    My scores were 94% for Reflective and Complex, 64% for Edgy and Agressive, 1% for Fun and Simple, and 26% for Energetic and Upbeat. I think that the category names are misleading, as I like edgy and upbeat music that is also complex (I think edgy and complex go together more). The Energetic and Upbeat description isn't particularly accurate for me, either.

  21. timethief
    I'm having fun reading all of these results when I come in to get warm. I was in a very bad mood yesterday when I took this test, so once I get the stairwells and a path shoveled to the van and the barn I think I will take it again.
    1. timethief
      I took the test again and feel that these results are more accurate so that tells me I wasn't careful enough when making my choices yesterday.

      lol ... winnah2 is doing the same thing mrcheeseburger does. Posting a few words of off-topic nothingness into as many forum threads as possible to gain attention ... if it wasn't pathetic it would be funny.
    3. siralmo
      but there was no effort put into it at all, its just the same for all the threads,

      MCB on the otherhand i am more inclined to like because we have had conversations
    4. timethief
      Agreed. At the very least the little greaser occasionally engages in a bit of conversation and even makes some people laugh. On the other hand, this two word guy needs to expand his vocabulary and put on a shirt, or start eating lots of cheeseburgers ... lol

    They put heavy metal and punk both under edgy and aggressive. Punk is fun and simple in my books, which is why I dislike it. Heavy metal is complex, reflective and aggressive, so that explains that score. I'm surprised my score for fun and simple music is so high.

    Their class descriptions seem to be completely off though.

      Go for it! I took the test twice. I know what I like and what I don't like. My problem was deciding on degrees of appreciation or lack thereof ie. if some genre is a 3 or a 4 or a 6 or a 7 to me. The most difficult choices for me were the edgy & aggressive and fun categories.

      Edgy & Aggressive

      People with high scores on the energetic and aggressive music-preference dimension tend to enjoy taking risks and engaging in thrilling experiences. They also tend to be dominant, imaginative, and energetic. They tend to be politically liberal, and believe that freedom, independence, and excitement are important aspects of life. When it comes to lifestyle, lovers of edgy and aggressive music, tend to come from the middle to lower classes. As for media entertainment, they're likely to enjoy watching action, science fiction, fantasy, war, and horror movies.


      Somewhat - But this does not define me as a person.

      I'm pretty rounded as far as music goes, but the results don't show it very well.

      I listen to almost anything.

      I really like, pop, punk & rock, but I also like to listen to New Age stuff.

      I'm very laid back and pretty conservative. I am not a thrill seeker either.

      Overall - Not a very good representation of me.

    My favourite singer is Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Who is urz. I'm glad the snow storm did not blow u off. We need u here on blog catalog.
    1. timethief
      I know him and his qawwali music very well. nusrat.info/
      I have no "favorite" singers, books, etc. because I like so many and I don't like to many to narrow my choices down to favorites.

    88 % enjoys reflective and complex music
    17 % enjoys edgy and aggressive music
    4 % enjoys fun and simple music
    56 % enjoys energetic and upbeat music

    On the Reflective & Complex Dimension you fell in the 88 percentile (very high/above average.) People high on this dimension tend to enjoy Classical, Blues, Jazz, and Folk music. People with high scores tend to be open to new experiences, creative, intellectual, and enjoy trying new things. When it comes to politics, they tend to lean toward the liberal side. Wisdom, diversity, and fine arts are all important to them. When it comes to lifestyle, high scorers tend to be sophisticated, and relatively well off financially. After a hard day of work, if they're not listening to music or reading a book, they enjoy documentary films, independent, classic, or foreign films.
    (I agree with most of this.)

    On the Edgy & Aggressive Dimension you fell in the 17 percentile (very low/below average.) People high on this dimension tend to enjoy Alternative, Rock, and Heavy Metal music. People with low scores don't get their kicks on skydiving or rock climbing. They tend to be friendly, less assertive than the average person, and conventional. They tend to place a lot of importance on family security, salvation, and tranquility. When they're not listening to music, watching television, or reading a book, they probably enjoy watching a dramatic movie, major motion picture, romance movie, or classic film.
    (I agree with about half of this.)

    On the Fun & Simple Dimension you fell in the 4 percentile (below average/very low.) People high on this dimension tend to enjoy Pop, Religious, Country, and Soundtrack music. People with low scores tend to be introverted, unconventional, and artistic. When it comes to morals and values, chances are that they lean toward the liberal side, and consider beauty and inner harmony important principles in life. When selecting a movie to watch, they prefer suspense movies, cult movies, or foreign films. (I agree with a little of this.)

    On the Energetic & Upbeat Dimension you fell in the 56 percentile (moderate/above average.) People high on this dimension tend to enjoy Hip-hop, Rap, Funk, Soul, and Electronic music. People with high scores tend to be extraverted, relaxed, romantic, creative, and physically active. Friendships, freedom, and social recognition provide their lives with meaning and guidance. For a good party, fans of energetic and upbeat music, are the ones to call. Compared to people who do not like energetic and upbeat music, they tend to enjoy watching action movies, science fiction movies, gangster/mobster movies, comedy movies, and erotic films.
    (I agree with very little of this.)

    Thanks for sharing. That was fun!

      Did your results surprise you?
    2. ophase
      I've chosen the classical and metal music at 7. That's why i got 90% for edgy and aggressive music. But it's in direct contradiction with my personality. Because i'm a calm and tolerant boy.
      Maybe music is the way to express my aggressiveness. I'm still thinking on it.

    Interesting test! This is how mine broke down:

    94 % enjoys reflective and complex music
    54 % enjoys edgy and aggressive music
    4 % enjoys fun and simple music
    35 % enjoys energetic and upbeat music

    That was fun!
    1. timethief
      I had fun doing the quiz too ... lol I had so much fun that I did it twice - (see above). What dosox and I discovered at lastfm is that we share to a very large degree the same music preferences.
    2. melindaville
      Yes! I saw that--you had two different results, based on your mood between the two days. Not suprising--mood can definitely affect psychological testing, which is why I am kind of against them for job interviewees. They have their place but I feel they sometimees have validity and reliability issues.

      Hi buddha,
      It's good to see your avatar ... Thanks for participating. Maybe you'll be able to find some BC members on lastfm who share your musical tastes that you can "befriend".
