Researchers from Oxford Brookes University surveyed and tested 467 Croatian high school students to assess their smarts, their preferred type of music, and how they use music.
The result was that students who scored higher in intelligence were associated with an ear for wordless music genres like big band, classical, and ambient or chill electronica. Another finding was that students who listened to music cognitively--that is, for the enjoyment of analyzing or appreciating the composition or technique--also preferred instrumental music.
