This is a REALLY skewed study. first off, what are the chances someone who listens to Beethoven is also someone who values academics? Pretty high. On the other hand, if you listen to lil wayne, then most likely you hang with a group of kids who don’t give a f*** about studying, and hence will score lower on SATs…it’s really common sense…knowledge does NOT equal intelligence. Also, just putting “rap” or “pop” as choices is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. Pop can vary from sh*tty 3 chord songs with terrible lyrics to jazz-influenced stuff with deep lyrics and everything in between.

Also, there does seem to be some sort of racial thing going on here. You’re telling me students who listen to JAZZ scored that low. Jazz is the most complex music in existence, and I have yet to meet a jazz fan who wasn’t at least above average intelligence.

Music, of course, does not make people smarter.
People, of course, should not be judged at all basing on what they listen too.
But i believe music that talks about slapping hoes, getting money, party everyday, not caring of the world, and not caring of domestic unity is simply oblivious, blind, and injudicious. Of course, its just my opinion.

I believe that its the peoples choice to what music they choose to listen too. It should not be judged. My opinion: The way someone feels or the persons emotions causes on what music they listen and adapt too. Also music is poetry, lets not forget that. Listening to music is listening to literature. Music THESE DAYS are so dumb down. Many people today pay attention to what their listening too, and that is highly wise. Others don’t. I believe A person who simply listens to a song and accepts it with out taking a second look at the lyrics is also highly unwise.
Ask your self,” Is this music speaking of reality or illusion?” Wiseness is not the magnitude of intlligence. Wiseness is meditating and making the best decision you are capable of.
I encourage anybody to do research on how music affects the mind. You just might be surprised on the findings you make.

Really? That euro guy who had the perfect SAT score wouldn’t be living in the Ghetts my man. He’d be living in a 2 milllion dollar home that he bought with his 6 figure paying job because he went to med or law school or something like that due to the fact of that oh so perfect SAT
