yes, music can be both an experiment to find the personality of an individual and a therapy to relieve the mental stress.
The music styles are related to the way the brain works. Every music has a beat and that is capture by the brain. If the brain?s mean frequency squares within the music beat one is more likely to like that music than another. It so happens that the same applies to the way one captures information, that is the attention/capture of information is dependent upon this brain?s mean frequency, if it?s a bit slow one is more likely to orient to internal thinking processes and so it?s more introverted, but if the mean is a bit faster one is more outwards and so more extrovert.
