Jodi L. Pearson and Stephen J. Dollinger - Music preference correlates of Jungian types

Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to explore the relationship between personality and music preferences, using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. It was hypothesized that the sensing–intuition dimension would correlate with overall musical enjoyment. Thus, as compared with those participants who scored toward the sensing end, we expected high scorers (intuition end) to endorse more musical styles, particularly classical music, as well as to have greater musical training and involvement. This hypothesis was tested and confirmed with a sample of 104 undergraduates. Moreover, extraversion also correlated with overall musical interest, particularly for popular/rock music. Finally, thinking–feeling correlated with liking for country and western music. Whereas past research has conceptualized music preferences in terms of approach to or avoidance of stimulation, these findings support the notion of cultural involvement as a personality dimension.

Individual weights indicated that intuition predicted liking of jazz/soul/folk (0.36, P<0.001) and classical music (0.27, P<0.05). Extraverts enjoyed popular/rock music more than introverts (introversion WEIGHT=−0.34, P<0.05). Those scoring toward the feeling end of TF were more likely to endorse country-western music than those scoring toward the thinking end (=0.27, P<0.01).
