Haha, well said. Me too I suppose. And I realized it wasn't a certain thing, but stirring discussion.

Coldplay largely stick to naval-gazing and exploring interpersonal issues, Radiohead drown in their despair and then resort to numbness, U2 transform the personal into the universal, and while they never deny the brokenness of the human condition, there is always hope illuminating everything. I like them all, and like to feel all of those things, but I need hope most. I also consider Bono to be a brilliant lyricist, and the soundscapes and feel U2 conjure totally do it for me. Feel and idea. I need both.

Conversely, Bob Dylan I have an appreciation for, but don't love. He's all idea. Most of the time the sound-world he creates doesn't do it for me. ("Girl from the North Country" does it for me though, because there's some uncharacteristic romanticism there).

Well said on U2, Radiohead, Coldplay, and Bob Dylan. Bob musically has a few gems, but really my favorite album of his is The Times Are A Changin' because it really is what he does best - ideas. It musically is intriguing too... way better than Jeffery Lewis musically.

Also I'm realizing Americana probably is such a broad genre I'm glad you clarified. I think Grateful Dead, Johnny Cash, etc... Woody Guthrie... and heck even Bob Dylan has some stuff that is not just folk/country, whatever, but also sings about America/American problems, etc. Thanks for the list of Americana you suggested... I haven't even listened to any of that intently/with purpose. It was like in passing/barely remember half of them.

This is all feel, and no literal idea.

I don't think I've gotten to that place of escaping my self-conscious with Jazz. I think I think too much and don't just enjoy it. I think about its structure and all and can't just let it do me in. Something maybe I need to listen more of. Some music is better absorbed through subconscious and maybe I just need to put Jazz in the background while listening to it to start that subconscious enjoyment.

As for Beck... I think everything after from Odelay onwards album-wise is absolute genius/fantastic. Before then, good songs, ok albums.

First impression... good lord is that tempo slow.

As it went on, it obviously is musically much more superior than Bob, but somehow the tempo messes with the message - not as clever of a deliverance somehow.

Culturally significant as it was a cover around the Iraq War, so gets, I suppose, a bonus point for that.

Noting we have almost similar test results, yet I wouldn't write this explanation to my musical taste (not that I'm expecting us to be similar, but still playing along to similarities and differences when it comes to personality).

I will say I probably 80% agree with what you wrote... I like my fair share of solo artists, but I would NOT say I'm a huge Singer/Songwriter fan in the sense of James Taylor... but I do love Paul Simon, although I just see him as a good songwriter... not the typical singer/songwriter image I get with that phrase... I think more John Denver and less Paul Simon/Beck. Americana I mostly am down with, used to be into spiritual, I own zero jazz records, but appreciate a few, I'm not a fan of David Bowie, but I like some of his stuff... and don't like individuals over bands, but I do love anything melancholy.

I am not someone who follows lyrics a lot, but love ideas if that makes sense... so unless a lyric grabs me (good or bad), I almost ignore 80% of lyrics... they mean less to me. I am more critical of them though than people I know, but definitely less critical than most on this site. Having said that, I was a German Lit major at school... so again I chose that mostly for the ideas... I'm way more into German philosophy than I am in let's say Goethe's Erlkönig because it sounds like a horse riding in the night if you account for the meter. That kind of structuralism/formalism just isn't my cup of tea.

I think I do focus on how music makes me feel or if it makes me think.

John Lennon's Working Class Hero or Bob Dylan's With God On Our Side and Only A Pawn In Their Game are extremely powerful songs to me due to their ability to express very powerful ideas. The melody/chords/key, etc. almost would be fine if they didn't exist. The music is secondary to those ideas.

Then there's how I feel: U2 makes me feel good. Yes, yes... make fun of it. But honestly I'm in a better mood if I listen to U2. Radiohead, as much as I love all but Pablo Honey, can be really depressing (especially Hail to the Thief... that album, even though I love it, sucks all hope and warm feelings out of my soul and sometimes I like that, but usually don't).

For feeling... even though I like my "big bands", sometimes I get bored with them and want something new (hence this site). Feeling something fresh and exciting.

Then there's nostalgia. I mean it plays a small role, but when I listen to Motown, I'm immediately nostalgic to my childhood (I think the 80s had nostalgia to the 50s/60s... like the movie Stand By Me).

Anyway... Feeling and Idea is how I'd sum up my music...

Thanks for that, Seth. I may only be down with 80% of what I described of my taste on any given day. My description wasn't all that definitive.

I've looked at your charts and there's a lot of common ground. Firstly, I love U2 and always have. I was thinking about this the other day: U2 versus Radiohead versus Coldplay.

Americana: I'm thinking of things like Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams, Ray LaMontagne, John Hiatt, Buddy and Julie Miller, Over the Rhine. I think a lot of the reason I like this sort of stuff is that it indulges my feelings of brokenness, difficult emotions, of being an outsider and not fitting in. Americana is full of sad stories.

When it comes to jazz, there are two distinct qualities that I particularly like: one is a feeling of melancholy and/or solitude (think Miles Davis), and the other is a transformative experiential thing (think Coltrane's "A Love Supreme") which I count as spiritual music (not dissimilar to "Where The Streets Have No Name") where if I allow myself to get caught up in the trance of it, I can escape my self-consciousness for a while and become part of a larger thing. This is all feel, and no literal idea.

Art rock/pop: Talking Heads "Remain in Light", St Vincent... Avant Garde Jazz... I think this stuff is for when I'm sick of feeling, and want to tickle my brain with clever and absurd lyrical and musical ideas.

Singer/songwriters... Joni Mitchell and her ilk for the confessional emotionally authentic thing, and just for the poetry of it. Songwriters like Neil Finn for the colourful ambiguity of their lyric writing that invites you to layer your own meaning onto the songs, and for his melodies.

I'm babbling now. Re Beck, I love "Sea Change" and "Morning Phase" and would consider them singer/songwriter type things. His mood is so precise on those albums. On other albums, he walks a line between the absurd kind of thing I sometimes like and a smart-ass thing that I never like.

Never even heard of Enneagram, that's interesting. Been INFP on every test I've taken since freshman year of high school but for one that mapped me at ESFJ which I'm 99% certain is wrong.

I'm apparently 9w1. Well, 9w8 isn't far behind, but definitely 9wsomething. That being said, based on " Nines also mistake themselves for Fours, but Nines tend to avoid negative emotions whereas Fours often exacerbate them. Intellectual Nines, especially males, frequently mistype as Fives, but Fives are intellectually contentious whereas Nines are conciliatory and conflict avoidant.", I'd feel I'm closer to a 4, certainly, and I enjoy debates in my science classes, so maybe I'm mistyped. No idea.

I think more than any test can tell you about yourself you probably already know, and I could tell you that I'm deeply emotional, overthink to the nth degree, have relatively low self-confidence, try to find the best in everyone, trust few but trust those who I trust deeply and fully, struggle to maintain relationships (romantic or platonic) for long periods mostly due to my own need/want for constant communication, and believe that the only purpose in life is to try to make those around you happier, with no winning or losing just death at the end. Type me as you wish, but a lot of the music I listen to, be it Bon Iver or Joy Division or Brand New or Fist Benders, weaves into at least some of what makes me me.

Interesting stuff... also just realized you are also INFP with me (sometimes).

Also found out by taking the test again (first results were confusing, so I took the "abridged" version of the test and got a 5 again but now clearly am 5w6.

INTJ, Type 1 with balanced wings.

I don't know what either says about my musical taste. My favorite music has strong lyrical content, especially if the content is narrative in nature. I don't think that's unique to my personality type.

Edit: Looking at that intuitive musician link, the Best of INTJ list does include two of my favorite artists, Tool and Jason Isbell. Shrug.

However:

Quote:

Ones are essentially looking to make things better, as they think nothing is ever quite good enough. This makes them perfectionists who want to reform and improve, who desire to make order out of the omnipresent chaos

That definitely explains my desire to create, but ultimately abandon, Best of Year lists.

I'm an ENFP, 4w3. I definitely think it can inform musical taste, but not honestly in a huge way. I'd say compared to most people on this site my tastes are certainly poppier/happier, though that might be more of late than a general thing. Hard to say.

As so many of you identify as 4's, here's an interesting bit on the difference between 4w3's and 4w5's I've always found interesting:

Quote:

4w3s are theatrical, dramatic, and effete. Compared to 4w5s they are generally more ambitious and competitive, and place a greater emphasis on appearing beautiful, desireable, and elite. They tend to feel entitled and exempt. They are said to be divas and aristocrats as their three wing transforms their sources of shame and defectiveness into art and expression, an aloof presentation that incorporates conventionally desireable elements into their style. They have a more glorious self-image and are more inspiration-seeking. They feel a connection with the magical as if they're part of a special class of people with secret powers. They are the outsiders who dream of magically returning to show others what they missed. The magical overtones in their persona are reminders of that to themselves. Compared to 4w5s they have more energy to keep up the act to get by in the world, but are also more likely to feel fake about it afterwards. They balance a greater ability to wear different masks with greater shame over losing their internal substance. They have an amorphous self-image that adapts to others but is in conflict with the core 4 fixation which sees it as "inauthentic". They are less likely than 4w5s to call out others for not being authentic for fear of pointing the finger back at themselves and their many contradictions.

4w3s are marked by multiple dichotomies due to types 3 and 4 being opposites in so many ways: inferior/superior, being/becoming, self-conscious/confident, putting themselves down/glorifying themselves, withdrawn/assertive, emotional/flatlined, reactive/cool-headed, mired in the past/focused on moving forward, awkward/poised, fragile/resilient, easily discouraged/do whatever it takes, rejecting the game/conquering the game. While they will put up countershame smokescreens to get your attention and see if you are perceptive enough to see and accept the real them underneath, they may seem distant to even close ones to keep up appearances. Ideally they'd have a rich emotional life without having the ugliest parts of themselves exposed.

Underneath a 4w3's more fluid identity their 4ness gives them an awareness of something truer and deeper within themselves that roots everything. Their 3 wing precludes people from seeing fully what is inside them including even themselves. However they know their personal awareness anchor is there no matter where their changeability takes them. They know on a deeper level their fluctuations stem back to a single consistent essence. Still, they wonder if they are fooling themselves. Despite their consistent underlying essence they lead an inconsistent life and wonder if they are being true to themselves. They try to balance selling themselves out in the real world with hanging out amongst the "keeping it real" crowd. They are more likely to go the distance in their career due to their three wing before their fourness causes them to sabotage themselves. In extreme cases 4w3s totally give up on life after finally "making it".

4w5s have a harsher edge than 4w3s and are the true outsiders of the enneagram. They tend to be more intellectual and introspective. They are more likely to philosophize their inner reality. Many 4w5s have an unflinching "this is me so deal with it" persona that's harder and crustier in comparison to 4w3s. They tend to be absurdly original or profoundly eclectic. Either way they have a more "take it or leave it" attitude and are more likely to direct a critical edge at others. Their persona serves more to redirect their shame away from their vulnerable self behind it in contrast to the 4w3 whose more shapeshifting persona facilitates relating to people. The more shame a 4w5 feels the more they implode, or in some cases amplify their persona as a countershame response. As a result 4w5s are more likely to present a more bizarre and even grotesque image in some instances that reflects their feelings of defectiveness combined with a fascination for the macabre that their five wing brings.

4w5s have a great pride in staying "true to themselves no matter what" amidst what changes in the world around them. They accept being isolated from others and are personally invested in their self-image enough to stick with it through thick and thin. They are equally proud of suffering for their weirdness as paying the price for being who they are only makes them feel even more authentic about themselves. It illustrates how they are too complex to be understood by the unworthy who lack the perception to decode their many layers to understand the real them.

Suffering for their internal self-image serves to reinforce their authenticity. The more they suffer for it the more they cling to their internal self-image and 4w5s wear their lack of compromise as a badge of honor for being true to themselves. "I'm completely true to myself and no one can take that from me." They mythologize their own personal tragedy. On the flip side being double-withdrawn they have less of a will to deal with the world and feel more overwhelmed by it. Despite seeking meaning in everything they are more likely to tend towards nihilism. Combine that with being even more true to themselves in response to their suffering and they become more and more disconnected from the world. In a self-destructive cycle the 4w5 holds his head high at never selling himself out like others, but ironically has little to nothing to show for it since he's actualized his identity with futile concepts that have no basis in reality. A feeling of hopelessness sets in and he withdraws from the world more permanently.

ENFP-T over here, Can't clearly see how this applies to my music but I think it can relate to my love for quirkier and sunny-like style of music (Alvvays and DeMarco as an example), although albums like "Loud City Song" and "Eureka", that are one of my favorite records of all time, sound like the perfect soundtrack for a Introvert that stares the world from the 7th floor of his/her building, something you wouldn't find an Extroverted boy relating to, No contradictions about feelings though, love me some emotional melodies or soft as cotton voices kissing my ears.
Really surprised how many of us are introverts bastards, but I can understand this situation from a bigger musical point of view of touching something inside our minds that the world isn't capable of. Just curious because many music lovers I know over here have a more outgoing mood, it is hard to picture some of my friends being like this (talking in numbers of course).

INFJ 4w5. Knew about Myers-Briggs and being INFJ for over a year, now. Only just recently took the Enneagram test, so I'm still trying to figure out what that says about me. But from what I have researched, apparently, I gravitate more favourably towards evocative sonic exploration (which explains why I like music with atmosphere, improvisation and colourfulness) and resonating lyrics (which explains why I like more tender music). It doesn't explain why I like certain genres (punk rock and metal mainly), but I think that's part of being an "individualist" Enneagram type, I guess.

Regarding metal, I'm INFP, and like some heavier music but dislike a lot of it. In my teens I liked King's X and Soundgarden. Both strike me as introspective, psychedelic, and contain their fair share of atmospheric sounds and interesting lyric writing.

On the other hand, other heavy music like AC/DC, Metallica, QOTSA doesn't do it for me, partly because it lacks atmospherics and seems a bit monochromatic, and partly because there's nothing lyrically for me to get on board with. I've just been listening to the three Audioslave albums to figure out what I think, which is a hard one because I love Chris Cornell's voice, and the riffs are undoubtedly massive, but the music lacks that introspective quality I'm looking for.

INTP 9w1. Can definitely see a connection between my enneatype and my predilection toward spacious ambient atmospheric ego-disintegrating timbral soundscapes, since my unconscious psychic defense mechanisms involve a compulsion toward states of peaceful inertia.

I've done a lot of work with the Enneagram, not so much with Myers-Briggs. Just retook that Enneagram test out of curiosity and got equal weighting for 5w4 and 9w1, which isn't at all surprising since I've often gone back and forth between 9 vs 5. If you subscribe to the tritype theory I'm probably 9-5-4, which is "triple withdrawn". Although I think those sort of minor distinctions can be used to distract from the key psychological work that needs to be done.

I too have a predeliction toward spacious ambient atmospheric music. INFP 4w5.
It began when I was 12 and heard Edge's guitar, and currently is expressed by the cloud that surrounds Bill Frisell's guitar.

INFP-A this time around, but I have also tested INTJ.

Also it reported:

You are most likely a type 5.
Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 1w2 or 2w1.

Not sure how I'm a 5, yet 1 or 2 with wings of 1 or 2?

For those not familiar with the Enneagram, the thing that I find helpful about it compared to Myers Briggs is that it describes directions of integration or disintegration, rather than a sratic state. If you look at an Enneagram graphic, each type is connected by a line to two other types. I'm a type 4 for instance, and acting somewhat like a type 1 brings about my best self, but acting like a type 2 brings about my worst self.

I'm not familiar with the tri-type theory, but sounds very interesting.

I always score in between INTJ and INTP. It's like a 50/50 probabilistic thing.

Don't know how it relates to my musical tastes or if it does at all (though I tend to like minor key mood a lot more than festive major key moods. Maybe that has a correlation with the "I" ?).
Other thing that I tend to like is pulsating rythmic music of any genre. eg: Steve Reich; Beethovens 9th symph 2nd mov, op59 no2 and No 15 am quartets final movements; Rolling Stones' Play with fire or Dylan's 4th time around, etc etc

On Enneagram I just took the test and scored 5w6. Don't know what does it mean as I never knew of that test until today.
