Whether you prefer sophisticated or simple music could reveal a lot about your personality.

你对复杂音乐或者简单音乐的喜好可以透露关于你性格的大量信息。

If you like simple acoustic tunes, you are likely to be talkative and energetic, and if you're an opera lover then you're probably insightful and imaginative.

That's according to two major studies conducted by psychologists from Cambridge University that have revealed the relationship between music and personality.

In online studies, more than 20,000 participants were presented with 25 unfamiliar musical extracts over different genres.

They also filled in surveys to assess their personality type - including openness, extroversion, agreeableness, neuroticism and conscientiousness.

The team, led by Dr Jason Rentfrow, at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge found two main trends.

According to the study 'open' personalities liked 'sophisticated' music over tunes that were mellow.

This may be because people who score highly for openness like to learn new things.

Extroverts preferred 'unpretentious' music categorised that were relaxing and acoustic.
