babs: <strong>MAKE A PERSONALITY HYPOTHESIS</strong>

6/24/2004

MAKE A PERSONALITY HYPOTHESIS Having discussed music for the past few days has my mind on an incident that I experienced. When I'm getting to know someone I usually ask what kind of music they like. This somehow gives me a generality about their interests and a basis for which to make other inquiries. Years ago I asked this question to a female co-worker in her late 30's. She replied that she did not like music! Music has always been such an integral part of my life, I just couldn't swallow this statement. She further told me that she had found no use for music of any kind and didn't understand its appeal. To this day I'm still baffled. Have you ever met someone who felt this way? Care to make a hypothesis to explain this concept to me? ¶ 6/24/2004 09:36:00 AM

I vaguely remember talking to someone who didn't like music and I had a similar reaction. It was as if they had told me they didn't like eating.

Each to their own I guess.

Name: Babs

I received a MA in a Sociological Discipline then married and worked 6 years as a Prevention Specialist. Now, I homeschool our two boys. I am renovating a 1925 home. If I ever finish it, I doubt I will do it again. During "my time" I oil paint and render pictures in colored pencils. Joining in my husband's interests in Old-Time Mountain Music I sing and bang on the guitar. No two friends of mine are alike. I surround myself with intellegent, eccentric, good hearted people. As a Protestant Christian I adhere to no one particular denomination. Spirtuality and growth are more important. Some have called me stubborn; I prefer strong willed. I strive for competency without the fear of change, and I enjoy sarcastic humor.Classic literature and classic movies can't be beat. You can never go wrong with chocolate. Shrimp and steak are my favorite dinners. I only consume vegetables on occasion for nutritional purposes. To find out more you'll just have to keep reading my blog entries. Be sure to leave a comment so I can get to know you too.
