This test actually seemed pretty accurate overall but I was surprised at the lower scores, particularly the 19% because the truth is I'm not really particularly elitist in my music tastes, or at at least I don't think I am. I consider myself to have eclectic taste; some might say I don't have very discriminating taste but I don't worry about that kind of thing. Still it pegged my most favourite kinds of music very well. A really fun test, go take it and see how your results compare with your expectations!
