If you're music taste reflects your intelligence, we have bad news for lovers of Jay-Z, Beyonce, Lil' Wayne, Fall Out Boy and classical music in general. You're all stupid! That's according to a chart that has been produced by an American student, Virgil Griffith. It's good news though for people who enjoy Ben Folds, Sufjan Stevens, Radiohead, Counting Crows and Beethovan. You're so smart you're probably constructing a nuclear reactor while you're reading this and making your afternoon tea all at the same time.

Sadly though (for fans of the intelligent music), the study by Mr Griffith was rather un-scientific. The US based study used Facebook to find out the most popular music at colleges around the country and then got their average SAT scores to plot a graph that looked something like the one you see above. Other issues include classical music as a genre rating poorly while Beethovan rates off the charts.

Griffith himself states it's not really accurate but fun none the less. He's a PhD student by the way, so one would think he has half a brain.
