Abstract
Research has suggested that music preferences and an attraction to computers and technology are related to specific personality traits. This paper will argue that socalled 'music-systemizing' may be predictive of a preference for electronica, techno and computer-generated music. We report a preliminary study in which listeners who enjoy computer music based genres demonstrated a trend towards a higher mean score on the music-systemizing scale than those who enjoy love songs.
