Correlation thread?
Anyone notice a correlation between a specific taste in music and intelligence?
My father knows a couple of physicists who both have large record collections, there seems to be two kinds.
The ones who are extremelly smart and have a vast taste in music (from classic to wathever)
And the autists, the ones that only care about very specific interests and dont care about music at all (i.e Mark zuckerberg, look it up)
Anyone notices this as well?
I noticed a big correlation between prog rock and intelligence.
Thanks for being specific.
can confirm. I used to be very intelligent and not autistic and a physicist and also had a broad taste in music and now after using drugs i have become autistic and only have specific interests and am not interested in music.
music for 200+ IQ people only:
>people with broader interests are smarter because they have more possible stimuli
who would have guessed
No, you're not the first. It's a fairly well understood and studied phenomenon.
I meant it in a broad sense, not this genre or that genre
I should say Im not a quora user, I'm not trying to brag about things I have no control over.
I'm just saying this is what I have observed and I am interested in seeing if anyone here as observed the same thing.
I have a 153 IQ and I listen exclusively to Unwound, Popol Voh, Otomo Yoshihide, Charli XCX, and Kanye West.

Other question
Do you think people who are not so smart and vice versa have more inclination to certain genres or specific sounds or is it all very mixed?
