chronique: Sure;I think your taste of music "might" have something to do with your I.Q. Sometimes when I hear people who are fans of certain artistes talk,I just end up shaking my head at the things that comes out from their mouths. As a person,I focus more on the lyrics of a song,than the beats. Terry G is an example of an artiste I can't listen to.

The Last Nazgûl: . Maybe the definition of intelligence is relative. If the joke is humorless,you'd obviously have to explain it.

amiskurie: 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.

The Last Nazgûl: . Where's the intelligence in these lyrics? Maybe I should send out a search party cos I can't find them.

freecocoa: Believe ‎​​me, I've been trying to find intelligence in the rubbish he put up but I can't.

Like what's intelligent in eating a d*ck for breakfast?

I'm confused.

BabaAlabi:
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?

Ishilove: I think contemporary music is empty and shallow. I prefer listening to old music. The older the better.

What does that say about me?

PBundles: Sorry but thats not true what you stated. Classical music has been said to have soothing effect on your demeanor BUT productive dont know about that. Actually it was proven sometime ago that pulsating music (rap, rock) made one work hard be focused and as such more productive.

The learning of a musical instrument wont make you smarter, its the same as any other learning process and as such can increase brain activity. Sukudo ( japanese logic puzzles) have been tested to stimulate and boost brain power, which is NOT the same as increasing IQ. 2 different things.

Many anecdotes exist linking music and intelligence. For instance, there's what is known as the "Mozart Effect," in reality, the ability for learning music to improve a person's spatial reasoning. It seems Mozart was not only a brilliant pianist, he also had a penchant for playing billiards, and using mathematical reasoning to map out the spatial relationships among the balls on the table. Then there's the great genius Albert Einstein, who also gained notoriety for his talent playing the violin.

The question then becomes, how does playing an instrument affect intelligence? These stories about Einstein and Mozart may be remarkable, but there is scientific proof that playing an instrument actually can change the physicality of the brain. Studies show that the corpus callosum, the part of the brain that links the higher centers of the left and right brain and transfers motor, sensory and cognitive information between the brain's hemispheres, increases in size in people who play musical instruments [source: Alleyne]. Other research concurs that besides this increase in brain size, the areas of the brain that control things like memory and hearing also become more active. This increased perception could yield evidence of higher intelligence. Interestingly, these results are not merely seen in children who are learning instruments; evidence of changes in brain functionality is also present in adults learning to play an instrument.

BabaAlabi: 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?

Willgates: 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

What does the study have to say about someone like me Lool

Most of the greatest classical songs in history are just instruments, no lyrics and you say that's what smart people listen to? I dunno about any other person but I sure prefer Terry G's song with razz lyrics to some lyric-less stuffs that drives the ears crazy.
