What does your playlist show about yourself?

Once, I was at Massey Univeristy, waiting to meet Prof. Andrew J Lock, the Head of the Psychology Department. I was shown into his office while he stepped out for a few minutes for some work. While I waited, I looked around at Psychology books stacked in his library. The more I waited the more I began to understand the person I was about to meet. If you choose your own library, it truly is a reflection of yourself.

If a library is a reflection of your intellectual side, what would you learn by looking at someone's music playlist or ipod? Music and entertainment is not just about the intellectual side. It is about a lot of images and a lot of feelings that get triggered off as you listen. The arts integrate yin and yang. Marketers interested in Psychographic Segmentation, and who prefer to go beyond just standardised test, may want to peek into your ipod or music selection?

The blog below is what triggered off this thought.
