Hardly anybody would disagree that the music you listen to reveals a lot about your personality. However, there hasn't been any scientific proof. That is, until now. Professor Adrian North of Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, conducted a large study of more than 36,000 people from around the world. The study has determined which of six character traits applies to fans of 13 categories of music.

Blues High self-esteem, creative, outgoing and at ease.
Rock/Heavy Metal Low self-esteem, creative, not hardworking, not outgoing, gentle, at ease.
Rap High self-esteem, outgoing.
Opera
High self-esteem, creative, gentle.
Country And Western Hardworking, outgoing.
Soul
High self-esteem, creative, outgoing, gentle, at ease.
Reggae High self-esteem, creative, not hardworking, outgoing, gentle, at ease.
Dance Creative, outgoing, not gentle.
Indie Low self-esteem, creative, not hardworking, not gentle.
Bollywood Creative, outgoing. 
Jazz
High self-esteem, creative, outgoing and at ease.
Classical Music High self-esteem, creative, introvert and at ease.
Chart Pop High self-esteem, not creative, hardworking, not at ease.

As with any of these sorts of studies, it's based on very general, common denominators and probably shouldn't be taken all that seriously. Though, there are some characteristics that are hard to argue with.
