The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between musical preference and personal - ity. Despite an overall lack of research on this psychological aspect of music, a wide array of studies have indicated a strong relationship between musical preference and personality, income, criminal - ity, and various other personal characteristics. Upon reviewing this related literature, it is clear that musical preference can be used as a reasonably good predictor of one's personality. Furthermore, it is also clear that musical preference can often reveal a great deal about an individual's lifestyle. This study investigated the relationship between musical preference and personality among first-year undergraduates at Vanderbilt University. By collecting, analyzing, and comparing data from 20 first- year undergraduates, correlations between specific personality and musical preference dimensions were calculated. The strength and nature of these correlations proved to be in general agreement with prior research. Furthermore, it was established that there was no statistically significant differ - ence (p<.05) in these relationships between male and female subjects. The presence of music in modern society is both overwhelming and undeniable. Moreover, it has come to the point that music is essentially unavoidable. Music emanates through our coffee shops, grocery stores, and in many cases, even our churches. In addition to music's importance in numerous social events such as weddings and parties, we even have events that revolve entirely and exclusively around music itself (Rentfrow & Gosling, 2002). Music has been used as entertain- ment, propaganda, and even therapy. Further- more, music's importance is evidenced in a gamut of cultures and occurs in people of essentially all races, ages, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and has occurred throughout history. In today's popular culture, musical preferences actually seem to be a part of one's identity, as people often associate fans of particular genres with corresponding personality traits.
