In this experiment, 3000 participants, including adults from university students as well as online participants were asked to state their preference of music, fine arts and abstract arts, books, movies and other forms of entertainment. It was discovered that there is a direct correlation between the choices of books that the people read as well as their taste in other mediums of entertainment. For instance, the "artistic souls", the ones who enjoyed good food, opera music, fantasy books, loved to buy fine jewelry, foreign films and art, tended to gravitate more towards poetry and classics. On the other hand, "extroverts", who loved cerebral entertainment, gravitated towards more experimental matters like erotica,thrillers,science fiction, history and science books.
