Its interesting. I got:

Compared to people who do not like energetic and upbeat music, they tend to enjoy watching action movies, science fiction movies, gangster/mobster movies, comedy movies, and erotic films.

Its pretty accurate for me in some respects.

Load of rubbish. Who I am as a person and the sort of music I listen to are two completely independent issues and they simply cannot be intertwined with each other. Sounds to me like the latest scam artists tried to make up a load of crap, as usual.
