Is music taste linked to intelligence?
notice no one is tied to a perfect score
you can't be smart if you listen to music, is the conclusion i'm getting here
>>65436529
of course no! all people are equal and taste is subjective ™
How does that chart work?
This chart confuses me
>>65436683
>>65436706
Not smart enough
>>65436683
>>65436706
There is no vertical axis. It's just stacked for space
>>65436529
no
also academics is a meme
>>65436529
I don't believe someone's attraction to a particular feel of music is inherently linked, no. I do think though, that there are certain genres that will appeal to less intelligent or reasoning minds. The more vulgar rap, I think, would appeal to someone whose more driven by emotion, or perhaps less critical of the fruitlessness and meaninglessness of most of the lyrics. Or rather, if someone were to connect with that style of music, I doubt they would be all that bright. On the other hand, certain genres carry with them almost expectations of how you're to evaluate them. For classical music, say, you might really just enjoy the sound of the piano, or maybe Chopin's Revolutionary Etude might stand out... But the nuances you're supposed to perceive in the interpretation, the dynamics etc., require you to be more purposeful in the way you approach listening to it. Also, the rap, or country, or punk music might be a part of the culture much more easily than say classical or jazz in this era, which would require more independent thought than just going with the flow. That being said, if you like hip-hop or rap or what have you, I don't think that necessitates you being a moron.

can we get another chart about music that is guaranteed to get you pussy because pretending to be smart coz of audiowaves is kinda stupid and you dont wanna go for the intellectual meme inna club anyways
>>65436529
no because all smarts people are two busy saving the world with their science and books 2 listen to good musik
I think this has more to do with culture than anything. Take Lil Wayne. I think he's actually a smart guy as far as rappers go. He appeals, at least in part, to poor inner city kids with no education - exactly the kind of people who aren't going to care to try hard on the SAT.
On the other end, take Counting Crows. I'd actually say they're a particularly bland and unintelligent rock band. But think about who they appeal to: white collar, middle class office workers in middle America. Exactly the type of people who do try on the SAT because they want degrees in accounting.
>>65436897
This seems to make a lot of sense
what do the numbers on the x axis mean
also if counting crows are smart tier then moms everywhere are geniuses
>>65436923
its sat scores
I know a computer science genius who makes more money than a brain surgeon. His favorite bands are Nickelback, Our Lady Peace, and Stained.

Im still retarded though
>>65436823
Classical scores bad while Beethoven scores excellent. Looks odd. But I guess a university professor might name his favourite composer. A college drop-out might just say classical.
>>65437182
yeah that disparity alone makes this chart pretty suspect.
>>65437027
oh ok
i'm not from america so we don't have SAT's
>>65436897
>Take Lil Wayne. I think he's actually a smart guy as far as rappers go
How so?

shitty chart desu
What would Einstein listen to if he had been born in the 90's? He was most likely an autist, played violin and piano and loved Mozart, but the more contemporary the composer, the less he liked them. Of Wagner he said, “I admire Wagner’s inventiveness, but I see his lack of architectural structure as decadence. Moreover, to me his musical personality is indescribably offensive so that for the most part I can listen to him only with disgust”.
Basically he would be a lewronggeneration fag?
i'm willing to bet the higher your intelligence goes, the more likely you are to hate music in general
>>65436529
whats the x axis measuring?
>>65439186
that seems false.
maybe you don't know many very intelligent people?
>>65437155
You can't score 1850 on a SAT, anon... the maximum is 1700...
>>65439031
Well dropouts don't usually take the SATs you dummy
>>65436897
>the type of people who do try on the SAT
'trying' on the SAT is likely a function of wealth, but also a function of intelligence. (doesn't take a genius to realize that test scores are crucial; 90pct of success is showing up and 'trying')
>>65439292
i just say it because intelligence seems to coincide with depression and cynicism, though i guess at that point its more likely they get into crazy shit like sine waves or whatever
>>65439326
it used to go up to 2400, i got 1910 without studying since we're bragging
>>65439326
With the most recent change, it's back to 1600, isn't it?
>>65436529
The suburban kids tends to listen to indie whereas inner-city kids tend to listen to rap.
Inner-city schools tend to be shit compared to suburban ones.
>>65439402
It can go up to a certain number but it's always cut. You can get 1970, but you'll be told it's 1700. I work at the fucking Suite so I know this shit.
You fuckboys are literally telling lies on the internet to show off, it's embarassing.
Sorta.
The smarter you are the more likely you are to unironically enjoy a wide range of genres. I wouldn't say any specific genre is linked to intelligence though.
>>65439264
good lord
i would guess that intelligence is one factor which influences taste in music. other variables would be social or environmental, but that's also influenced by intelligence and vice versa. so yeah, it's bound to be linked by virtue of the fact that intelligence influences every facet of our lives. i doubt that the effect size is large though - cultural factors must be important here. for example, most people from country x will tend to enjoy music from their own country -- by virtue of the fact that they have less chance to listen to outside music unless it becomes super popular, which'd be hard to quantify.
the meme answer is yes.
>>65439402
>intelligence and depression.
could be. but generally highly intelligent people, in my experience, are more open to the world, and more appreciative to different, varied forms of art.
but in any case, scoring high on the SAT is probably a function of background/ wealth / education (i know its an aptitude test, but you can definitely game the test to score better than the ranger identified in the graph).
>>65439466
yeah, this is really just capturing a class dynamic. not really a very interesting chart
>>65439484
what the fuck dude calm down, they had a writing portion in there for a few years that bumped up the total score, maybe they had a condensed something/1600 score, but i don't remember that. i also had several friends with scores in the 2100s around 2009
honestly i'm a big lil wayne fan... and i love his stuff but I'm not dumb. I mean i Got a 3000 on My sat... why would i be dumb?? haha
>>65439627
you're very right, all an SAT can really test for is a persons test taking and test prep abilities, same with all standardized tests
>>65439665
congrats youre parents must be very proud
>>65439636
no, its real
>>65439484
for your own edification, the cap before the writing portion, and the cap now that the writing portion has been removed, was/is 1600. if people are referring to scores over 1600, thats on the 2400 scale.
>>65436815
hahah oh my god buddy
i hope you ease up on people
>>65439694
My mom yeah. Not My dad though...

Jazz that low, this chart is a fucking joke.
>Sufjan Stevens
>intelligent
Wow what a stupid chart
>>65441597
Every other artist is pretty dumb in comparison.
But what about if I'm a fan of Wayne's shit and Sufjan's shit?
