Then one day, Sue saw Jims music collection. She noticed a rare punk（朋克）rock CD that she also owned. At that moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking. Sue said, I thought we had nothing in common (相同) until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.They are now married and living with each other. Some psychologists (心理学家)think that your taste in music is related to （有联系的）your personality. As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their favorite songs. The volunteers then listened to each others CDs and made guesses about the CD creators personality outgoing, adventurous（爱冒险的）, happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films. For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities. The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely（可能）to be energetic and talkative（健谈）. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous. The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong (jazz) fans tend to (倾向于) be serious and intelligent while fans of classical music are also likely to enjoy jazz music and tend to be shy. The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shyer and quieter than many other music lovers.
