Music seems to be an endless source of information, especially when it comes to how it affects us.

If you're interested in reading about music preferences and personality I'd recommend reading these academic papers:

1. Rentfrow, P. J., & Gosling, S. D. (2003). The do re mi's of everyday life: the structure and personality correlates of music preferences. Journal of personality and social psychology, 84(6), 1236.

2. Bonneville-Roussy, A., Rentfrow, P. J., Xu, M. K., & Potter, J. (2013). Music through the ages: Trends in musical engagement and preferences from adolescence through middle adulthood. Journal of personality and social psychology, 105(4), 703.

3. Greenberg, D. M., Baron-Cohen, S., Stillwell, D. J., Kosinski, M., & Rentfrow, P. J. (2015). Musical preferences are linked to cognitive styles. PloS one, 10(7), e0131151.

They're all on Google Scholar and are very eye-opening in your journey to learn more about this relationship. Have fun!
