A good friend of mine loves listening to songs by Terry G while another is into rock. Guess which one is writing JAMB for the 4th time?
I found an article which said that students who loved listening to Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj performed lower in IQ tests. Does our musical preference correlate with intelligence?

Its Plain Rubbish.

Jamb itself is a flawed means of trying to get students into university. Complete waste.

Lol...But does the kind of music you listen to matter? For example many Nigerians don't care about meaningful lyrics in a song, na only dance dem wan dance. Does it have an effect on exams and reasoning?

Its hard to explain. The type of music you listen to does not show how smart you are. well, what i think anyway

Smart and Dumb people can enjoy the same type of music at any time.

Just because one does not pass Jamb does not mean he is not intelligent. Different reasons can be the cause. Definitely not music

This thread is somehow oo

Lol. . . in what way? Share your thoughts

I think it does. Maybe it's because I don't really like lil wayne but I think it matters. It's not as if people should avoid the music entirely but it should be a once in a while affair. Take a look at this
"According to a recent study, Lil Wayne fans
are as dumb as a rock. If you enjoy Beyonce
and T.I., you're not too far behind. If you
listen to Beethoven, you're practically a
genuis.
Data for the study was gathered from
Facebook. The study's author found kids
from different colleges across the US, and
compared their favorite music to the
average SAT scores from those schools.
According to the results, Lil Wayne fans had
the lowest SAT score at 876, giving his fans
the dreaded title of "dumbest fans," while
fans bands like Radiohead, Counting Crows
and singer Sufjan Stevens ranked in the
1200s. Fans of Beethoven ranked the highest
at 1376. A perfect SAT score is 1600."

I am a rap fan but I can't consider myself as dumb na.

I have a cousin who loves whizkid, Burnaboy and Davido but he is very intelligent.

So this thread is somehow

lol. Ur definition of somehow? You have just shared your thoughts which means NO "The type of music you listen to does not show how intelligent you are". .

If modenine fan club of back then was here now they would beg to differ

True...but do you call the crap Lil Wayne sings 'Rap'? Generalization is dangerous but the facts are there. Majority of people who love listening to Lil Wayne or Terry G are not that bright.

So you would say those who like Kwam1 are unintelligent abi? You need to see beyond your glasses

It is somehow cos it sounds right and intelligent but it is soooo wrong.

I remember that Mode 9 fan club, they say Ruggenman fans are unintelligent

people who listen to soft rock are matured and emotional
i dont know about others

Not in the mood for these crap question

I knew I was a genius.I need to check my IQ.

these are my kinds: MIRANDA LAMBERT,JOHN MAYER,BONGOS IKWE,TAILOR SWIFT AND MANY MORE.

just because someone is writing JAMB for the fourth time doesn't mean he's got an abysmal I.Q. And did you just say lil Wayne's songs? damn! the manner at which that guy plays with words is simply incredible! If u don't like his songs it's because u have a low I.Q already

Rather its the IQ that determines what kind of music one listens to, I think.

A man's higher IQ may lead him to listen to Ebenezer Obey. A man with lower IQ might consider the lyrics/thoughts in the lyrics dull, so he opts for Obesere.

Well, intelligent or not we all have right to live and enjoy life through music, so to each his own. Intelligence doesn't guarantee u 100yrs on earth

wen i was a kid i likd songs by african china nd kimi ranking i.e dapada.bt i was fantastic in skul nt to mention dat i did nt read 4 exams den.

wetin una want make I talk

SEE DEM,THE OLODOS QIUCKLY FIGHTING BACK.

fuji, you're a thug

Nonsense ! Music all depends on mood. Even the scholars know when to shake their bumm bumm

well well well music atimes affects our morale. As for me anytime i want to do mathematics, i like listening to a very fast and high tempo music. But normally slow musics affect some people's morale.

I have heard this argument before. Some pals of mine were arguing about Jazz and Hip Hop and its possible effects on one's intelligence quotient. I beg to differ here simple because I don't really like generalizations and also because population samples taken for Studies such as these are most times, flawed. Nevertheless, the facts seem to show it but I still disagree.

bt d trut is dat lil wayne nd nicki minaj's song lyrics re good english words smtimes rare english words dat re nt ordinarily used. I tink people dat like rock nd metal music re les inteligent
