Acording to a "study"( no scientific one) made by a CalTech grad student named Virgil Griffith regarding music preferences of individuals compared to their SAT scores showed that the "brainiacs" listen to Beethoven while those who barely take the Test prefer listening to Lil Wayne or Beyonce. My personal take on this is that, sure, the quality of the music you listen to gives a hint to what kind of person you are and that people who show greater intelligence tend to listen rather to classical music then any other genre. Because, personally, I can not imagine someone reading Richard Feynman's books to listen to Reggaeton music. Also music, through the lyrics, can have a powerful effect on the psyche, but not far as to dumb people down.
Can one's intelligence be "measured" by the kind of music they listen to ? Can music dull your mind ? Is your favorite band in this chart ? What is your opinion ?
