    The test plays short music clips, asks you rate them, and at the end it gives you some results

    For example, I got this:
    I expected wayyyy higher for Intense & Rebellious... but hey they didn't include stuff such as Brutal Death Metal!

    The test obviously has a lot of flaws but it's here if you want to kill 10 minutes!

    This was fun! Not sure if this is super accurate for me because their music selection was kind of narrow, and I have a really broad & eclectic music taste, but here's my results:

    I guess this was somewhat accurate, although I'd expect Energetic & Rhythmic and Intense & Rebellious to be higher. I wish they had played better songs, haha.

    What a shit-ily narrow range of music for a "music preferences" test! I HATE EDM and techno. Just for the record.

    I should have scored much higher for soothing and wistful since alternative and rock are my favorite type of music!

    This test was fun for what it was, but it falls short in so many ways. It assumes that the categories they've decided on mean the same thing to everybody. What I call "Intense and Rebellious" someone else might call "Energetic and Rhythmic." Even so, assuming the categories have all been normalized, and we all agree on the categories, there is still a lot that is missing. There is no mechanism to communicate why you do or do not like a particular clip. Maybe a person likes the genre, but not that performer. Maybe it's too loud. Maybe it has too much bass, or not enough bass. It also doesn't seem to recognize that "genre" and "style" are independent of each other: a country music song can be energetic, or calming, or lyrical, or rebellious - any of the categories they propose.

    But even more to the point, the genres are narrow and limited. Many genres and styles are not represented at all; the questionnaire asks only about so-called popular music genres. Where is Classical Music? Symphonic music? Film scores and soundtracks? Program music? Broadway musicals? Opera? Ballet? Gospel? Religious? Non-Western music? Atonality?

    I don't know what they think they're measuring, but their clips are limited and don't capture the full scope of possible music styles and genres. How would someone not familiar with Western music respond to these clips? What kind of reading would it produce for someone who Disliked (or worse) all of the clips because the style or genre he prefers isn't represented?

    Results of the Musical Preferences Test
    The musical preferences test measures fives scales. Scores are normalized so that the average score on each scale is 100 (like IQ scores).

    • Your score for Upbeat & Conventional was 79. Music from this cluster is found in the genres country, gospel, and bluegrass.
    • Your score for Soothing & Wistfulwas 91. Music from this cluster is found in the genres alternative, indie rock and roll, and folk.
    • Your score for Lyrical & Beating was 94. Music from this cluster is found in the genres rap and hip-hop.
    • Your score for Energetic & Rhythmic was 72. Music from this cluster is found in the genres EDM and techno.
    • Your score for Intense & Rebelliouswas 92. Music from this cluster is found in the genres rock-and-roll, punk, and metal.
    I honestly didn't like ANY of the music they played. I'm honestly surprised, because I don't like rap or country at all and my scores were higher than I would have thought. I don't believe this test was very accurate because it only covered several genres, and the ones that I like were not included.
    In reality, Intense and Rebellious would have been much higher. I like alternative music, and dislike rap, country, and techno stuff/music that doesn't use real instruments like guitars, drums, vocals without auto tune, etc.

      This thing lies. It's trying to say I like the stupidest music available. Their assessment of metal is completely invalid, as they didn't play ANY metal.
