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.

你听的音乐会反映出你是什么样的人。
我们都有一个最喜欢的音乐家或音乐类型。音乐能启发我们或影响我们的心情。但你有想过为什么你如此享受你喜爱的音乐吗?研究人员发现音乐偏好及聆听习惯可以很大程度地披露一个人。虽然难以确切言明，但一些研究指出个性会决定我们所喜爱的音乐类型。
当然，一个人可能会在不同的时间出于不同的原因欣赏多种风格的音乐。然而科学家注意到一些个性和音乐喜好间的趋势或关联。比方说，喜欢流行音乐的人往往更外向一些，而喜欢乡村音乐的人则通常较好交际和传统。
虽然上述这些例子可能不太令人惊讶，但除此之外的关联则可能更少被料到。譬如，听重摇滚音乐的人们其实可能偏向温柔且内向。嘻哈和饶舌音乐的粉丝通常友善而自尊心较高。虽然不能完全以音乐品味来定义人们，去思考为何某种特定的音乐类型吸引我们，还有我们的音乐喜好如何受我们的个性影响，依然是很有趣的。
