I'm surprised rap isn't at the bottom of the list. Every time I hear it I feel myself getting dumber fast.

I remember listening to it once and my brain lost control of my bowels and, well, you know........

Only Beethoven?! No Bach? No Mozart? Bach listeners would tottaly beat Beethoven listeners any day. No offence to Beethoven lovers

Are the numbers at the top SAT test scores?

I love Beethoven. But what about Liszt and Wagner? :heart:

I listen to everything, including really heavy metal. Multicultural taste for the win!

wait,... Lil Wayne on the dumb scale? :scratch:
I guess you don't really understand his lyrics, he's very bright.

I'm not buying this intellect scale.

I could just be dumb from some of the other music I listen to , but I don't see Ozzy Osbourne anywhere. He's one of my favorite artists!

The numbers on the top and bottom of the pictures are test scores for some standard test. And test aren't a good calculation of intelligence, it's your ability to regurgitate information.

This survey was doomed to be a bad example of music taste vs intelligence from the start, whether the stats are legit or not.
