Music That Makes You Dumb?
CalTech grad student named Virgil Griffith has conducted an interesting (albeit somewhat unscientific) study relating music preferences with SAT scores. While SAT scores are criticized for not accurately determining intelligence, the results show that the �smartest� students� favorite musician is Beethoven, with an average SAT score of 1371, and at the other end of the spectrum is Lil� Wayne, with an average score of 889.
Other bands at the top of the scale are Counting Crows, Radiohead, and Sufjan Stevens. Check out the full image of the results after the jump:
Surprisingly, no style of music stands out above the rest, but rather most bands fit within the 1000 to 1150 score range. Another question is whether music can be legitimately associated with smarts.
Does intelligence choose the band? Or does music define how smart we become? Where do your favorite bands appear? Do you think that music can make you dumb?

if this was posted, oh well...
I think this is total bullshit. All sorts of different genres are all over the place. I know some total dumbasses who like classical music, and borderline geniuses that listen to Lil Wayne (even tho he sucks). I hate generalizations like this.
it doesn't show that listening to that type of music makes you dumb. it's more of a class thing it seems. like if you're rich, i'm betting my money you are more likely to listen to indie rock/anti-establishment rock and/or classical so you look more unique or smarter than your peers.
anyways, listening to behtoven or however you spell his name, won't make me learn how to spell his name correctly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see any classical composers other than Beethoven on the list. That's kind of odd: I would have at least expected Mozart and Bach to be on there. Given the additional fact that Beethoven is ridiculously far to the right, I have to suspect that the survey was simply really small and it happened to catch a few bright people who said they liked Beethoven.
The way to weed out the status-seekers among classical music fans is to ask them if they like any composers that aren't on every single "greatest hits" classical compilation ever made (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Vivaldi, Handel, Chopin).
Have you got something against Liszt?

Because you left him off your list.

Also not to forget the fact that some genres such as Emo and Trance score high on E.Q.
