<-- Here's a compilation of a correlation between musical taste and SAT score gathered by different universities.

Do you believe that in some way this correlation has a cause/effect relationship? Or is this purely coincidential that rap seems to be more dominant in lower SAT scores while classical music (Beethoven) is much higher?

this is really funny

Wew

as someone who scored well on the sat i can tell you that the test is hardly a measure of intelligence and really only measures how prepared you are to take the test which almost always translates into resources available to the individual like tutors and practice tests. it shouldnt come as a surprise then, that genres more popular with economically depressed communities would score lower.

Actualy people over 1500 only listen to Bach but there is not enough place to show it.

HAHAHAHAHA

JAZZ CONFIRMED FOR LOW IQ PLEB GENRE

GET REKT NIGGERS

>>73773425
No, people that listen to classical music are smarter that poeple that listen to nigger music, this proves it
>>
>>73773425
That's probably true, but I think one's attitude towards school also plays a role, whether one has the resources or not.
>>
>>73773214
the only conclusion i can draw from this chart is that everyone they surveyed has shit taste

The SAT is not a "measure of intelligence." There is no "measure of intelligence." There are millions of different kinds of intelligence - emotional intelligence, logical intelligence, social intelligence, sensory intelligence, experiential intelligence, blah blah blah. One could be horrible in every single subject at school, but a musical genius.
At that that, they're not even an accurate measure of verbal and mathematical intelligence. For example, the tests are timed. Not everybody is a fast thinker, so they might get a slow score. But just because you do a math problem slowly doesn't mean you're bad at math. If you still end up getting the answer right, you're still good at math.
The essay section is also arbitrary. I got As in almost every essay in every English class throughout high school, and I got a 6/10 on the SAT essay. The test is stupid. Case closed.

Fuck off, hippie.

I basically admitted as much, I'm partly mad because I didn't get a super-high SAT score although it wasn't super-low (1880). I'm a B student though.
>>
>>73773773
It's the least hippie-ish statement ever. Anyone with any knowledge of science or the human body knows that there are different kinds of intelligence.

>>73773589
I agree, but it also has to do with resources. I grew up poor but I tested into a wealthy public school. I knew people who were practically brainlets and they got near perfect scores and they all had prep classes since 8th grade. They got into all the top schools. The system is made for wealthy people. Yes, there are exceptions like myself but I basically became the token poor kid in both high school and the college I went to because the richest of the rich attend there. It's fucking awful and I regret playing into it.

>economically depressed communities
And have you wondered why they are like that. It is true that SAT isn't a measure since you're a complete retard
>>
1356 is still a pretty low score...I think this proves all music fans are retards tbqh
>>
Maybe it's because more people listen to rap, there's a bigger sample space and more chance for lower scores to bring it down, whereas there can't be that many kids listening to classical, and they'd probably be the "weird kid" who is more likely to do well at school too. Iunno
>>
>>73773907
>maybe a lot people listen to rap
And wouldn't it mean that a lot people are retarded, you aren't a bright fellow.
>weird kid
Damn really makes you thonk
>>
>all these newfags who don't know it's photoshopped
>>
>>73773940

All I'm saying is that if there were 2 kids listening to classical, one was 1436 (or whatever the highest score on the SAT is, I'm not American) and one had an average score, it would look like classical listeners are all geniuses, whereas a much more popular genre like hip-hop might have hundreds of respondents and average out lower due to that. All I'm saying is that sample size is important to not skew the data
>>
I know plenty of Yale students, they only listen to Kanye, Kendrick, etc. But they do listen to classical studying playlists.
