Hello. For a school project, we needed to write a paper on some question related to human nature and development. The question I chose was 'does personality affect preferences in music?' To answer this, I created a survey. I'd appreciate it if you could take a minute or two to fill out a copy and post it here. Thanks!

Oh, I thought it was an arbitrary scale. Editing.

I don't have a favorite band, and it was really tough to come up with genres. I wouldn't have, normally. I just grab a song or two from any given artist, the rest are usually quite shitty. Certain specific bands seem to put out more goodies than normal, but every band has put out some worthless garbage.
