Musical tastes and personality type are closely related, according to a study of more than 36,000 people from around the world.
Professor North described the research as “significant” and “surprising”.
He said: “We have always suspected a link between music taste and personality. This is the first time that we’ve been able to look at it in real detail. No-one has ever done this on this scale before.”
