I am taking a quick break from work listening to classical music. I will be exploring this subject in detail in the near future.

The results showed that for the most part, people listened to music for three reasons; cognitive appreciation, emotional regulation, or background noise. People who listened for the cognitive appreciation were more likely to be open and highly intellectual with high IQ scores. The individuals who listened to music for emotional regulation, or to help reinforce a certain mood, tended to be more introverted and unconscientious. People who usually used music for background noise tended to need it to perform more successfully in social situations. This helps us understand more of the psychology behind musical preferences. This goes beyond genre vs. genre. This gives insight into how people use music beyond just a sense of identity.

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
