Music ? Intelligence ?

Your taste in music has nothing to do with how intelligent
you are ?

Would you guys agree with this statement ?

My point is based on a scientific study i saw a few years
ago that explains how the brain interprets music. the level
of intelligence is irrelevant.

there are numerous theories on the relationship between
music and the human brain - none have really been solidly
proven yet though....

i agree with that...why should it have anything to do with
intelligence? perhaps emotional intelligence...

It depends on your definition of intelligence -

are we talking i.q. type of intelligence

or

are we talking an individual with a wide range of knowledge
covering all cocepts?

If i.q. then no; im sure Bill Gates isn't a big aphex fan.

I think some music can appeal to you intellectually, but
some stuff just grabs you emotionally. And that doesn't make
you dumb

i'd really like to see what intelligent people listen to and
what dumb people listen to

if there's some pattern...like classic vs. pop or something

btw, bill is a huge aphex fan!

I wouldn't say that there is direct link between music
tastes and intelligence, but I would say that there IS a
link between music tastes and open mindedness.

Would you say that open mindedness is sometimes confused
with apparent intelligence?

i can't really see how this type of thing can even be
investigated at this point. we understand so little about
the mind and what 'intelligence' really is. first we need to
figure that part out, then we can go from there.

having said that, i'm inclined to believe that there must be
some kind of correlation, though i can't site any specific
reason for this. maybe i just want to believe it, and be
able to use it as a 'evidence' of my intelligence. who
knows..

On the other hand, Mozart and Hayden both wrote mathematical
treatises on music.

I'm not sure if you analyze a Britney Spears album, you'll
find equally challenging material.

that only proves how intelligent the producers are, and
again, you're only looking at one kind of intelligence. they
are others. you don't have to be good at math to be
intelligent.

ok.

now, im not basing this out of any scientific research or
anything, but say, you have ICP fans. "ICP" fans on the net
are quite possibly some of the most perplexingly stupid
people on the internet. it literally boggles the mind,
sometimes i think that they are so stupid, that they are,
infact, geniuses. but this goes away easily.

i also think that a good amount of people who listen to
"IDM" are a tad bit smarter than the typical "ICP" fan.

most ICP fans i see online say stuff like "SIX WRAIGHT
COMIN 2 KILL U LOL I WENT 2 JAIL 2DAY FUKR TRI 2 MES WIT ME
I FUK HM UP LIKE SHAGY 2DOP PS IMGONG 2 SIXFLAGZ WIT MAH
PARENTS"

most idm fans i see online do NOT say stuff like "RICHRD
DJIMJAMS COMIN 2 KILL U LOLC OME TO DADDY! ! I WENT 2 NESH
2DAY FUKR TRI 2 MES WIT ME I FUK HM UP LIKE BOGDN N CYBLOB
PS IMGONG 2 ATP WIT MAH PARENTS"

there are exceptions to this of course, ive talked to
completely nonsensical "IDM" fans and yes, reasonably
intelligent "ICP" fans.

im not claiming anything though. just seems to have a trend
to it.

course its all on the internet. some people choose to be
stupid online and then be really smart offline.

i dont think it effects your taste in music, but
intelligence does tend to affect your exposure to
music. intelligent people tend to know other intelligent
people who tend to know more interesting music

yes, but only interesting in your opinion. People have vary
different opinions on what is interesting, especially music.
I'm going to stay away from talking about IDM as it relates
to intelligence because I feel that there just isn't any way
to prove anything one way or another.
