What do you think about this correlation between intelligence (as measured by SAT scores) and musical taste?
>implying Lil Wayne- 6 Foot 7 Foot isn't the most intelligent piece of music of the past 10 years
Pearl Jam is my favorite band got a little higher then the projected scores but it's close. But I know plenty of people who listen to rap but got a much higher score. must be the blacks
you have to have a low iq to listen to music that starts with 'uh' and 'yeah' and 'you know who it is'. This is accurate

>mfw sufjan is my favorite
>>74296745
literally bias everywhere
high school students and music taste do not mix well
>>74296890
What bias? I'm not saying your wrong I just don't see any.
When was this chart made, 2006?
>>74296745
>intelligence (as measured by SAT scores)
that test is fucking easy and I knew literal retards that scored high on that
>>74296937
was literally about to say
i scored a 1960 on that (old scale) and i'm basically retarded
>>74296918
this chart literally says that all classical music that isn't beethoven is for retards
>>74296949
>I'm basically retarded
You didn't need to mention that. We're on 4chan, that's a prerequisite.
>>74296937
How high are you talking?
>>74296922
>>74296937
>>74296949
this chart is meaningless unless we know what year the scores were earned
>>74296966
That's true. Also the sample sizes for each musical group is probably way off. I bet only 3 autists said Beethoven compared to the 1000s for the Chili Peppers
>>74296949
>1960
>good
You fucking retard
>Chris Tomlin
>Kutless
>Jars Of Clay
>Third Day
>Jeremy Camp
>David Crowder Band
>Casting Crowns
There's a disproportionate amount of early 2000s Christian pop music. Who made this?
>>74297043
1600/2400 was the previous average so I feel like I did alright
>>74297034
me again, I just checked his site and these are the newest SAT scores, presumably combined reading and math scores, so out of 1600 (even though the full test is out of 2400)
>>74297056
I'm pissed faith + 1 isn't on here
>>74297040
not to mention beethoven is probably the only composer they know
>jazz that low
>u2 that high
this is proof that these tests are racist, right?
>Disturbed
>System Of A Down
>Tool
Jesus, the metal on here is garbage. Not even metal fans like this shit.
>>74296937
No, you don't. And even if you truly did my anecdote>your anecdote
>>74297043
>>74297080
Oh wait I was wrong. Old average was 1500, not 1600. I didn't get into Harvard or whatever but I feel like I did fine (I'm still retarded though).

you can count on high schoolers for having absolute garbo taste
How in God's name is jazz so low? I didn't think black people listened to it since the 70's.
>>74296949
That's funny, because I scored exactly 1960 as well and feel I am not retarded. Plus everyone at the top of my class scored beneath me. I didn't even go to a bad school.
>>74296745
this sucks for so many reasons but here's your (you)
aside from the fact that people can listen to multiple things (i listen to gospel AND beethoven and no one has made me pick just one yet) and the fact that the SAT is generally bullshit (the strongest correlating factor is wealth, not success or even IQ score), this just doesnt make sense. I got a 1570 on the 1600 score and I like and hate music all over this chart. stop perpetuating this meme that taste reflects almost anything about you beyond maybe appearance and some sense of identity.
>>74297229
my guess is the retards who said they like jazz only listen to "smooth jazz for study 83727834 hour long mix" type youtube videos
>>74297279
Could be right.
>I own Kenny G's complete discography
>Counting Crows
>That high up
>Beethoven
>Probably just Asians that are forced to listen to only classical music.
>Rock and Indie music was associated with middle of the road scores.
I guess Christian music does make you smarter, and rap music was associated with lower scores, not even surprised there. Also why is Counting Crows specifically so high up? Are they that popular?
>>74296745
Seems pretty hacky.
Only a genius can appreciate Nickelback.
>>74297087
full test is 1600 the essay section is out of 24 or some shit
>>74296937
If you're gonna throw that argument out there, we might as well say
>Implying your grades in school are a measure of your intelligence
>The type of books you read are a measure of your intelligence
>The type of foods you eat is a measure of your intelligence
There is no true measuring of intelligence, even an IQ test isn't accurate to me. I've known high school dropouts that were smarter than college students, hell I've known high school graduates to be smarter than college students.
>>74297379
yes that's what I said
Bach > Mozart > Beethoven

Pleb
Math rock = mensa tier
I've been listening to almost nothing but classical music in the last 4 years of my life after Highschool. For anxiety, (the calmer ones of course) it's one of the few things that help and it really does help me put my mind on what's important and reminds me of my own standards I must keep and morals.I used to be bored out of my mind by it just because I never had the patience to listen to music very long when I was younger, but after playing the trumpet for 8 years, I understand it more and appreciate it.
It really helps calm me, let me recollect myself, think back on things that just happened or what I will do and other things. I'm a Math major (Chemical Engineering) and honestly, this music feels so much more like it's not only focusing on larger concepts, but on universal concepts. It feels like the most "long term" I guess type of music in it's expression that any other genre. I doubt anything with as much truth will ever be created again.
tfw 1400 and I like the Beach Boys

Propaganda for putting RHCP so high and Jay-Z, Nas & Queen so low.

Brian Wilson is a genius, how dare you.
TOOL ISN'T METAL FUCK OFF FAGGOTS
>>74297153
Disturbed is shit, but what's wrong with Tool and System Of A Down?
>>74296745
this chart makes my eyes hurt
they had to leave electronic music out entirely because it skews the result
