Finally! Scientific proof that you ARE more intelligent 😜

A study in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences suggests that people who prefer instrumental music genres like jazz are often more intelligent...

Researchers, led by PhD student Elena Racevska, explored how musical taste connects to intelligence using a nonverbal IQ test and detailed questions about music habits.
They found a strong link between higher intelligence scores and a preference for complex, novel music. This ties in with the idea that more intelligent individuals seek unique and challenging experiences.

While factors like age, education, and gender also play a role, the takeaway is clear: if jazz is your thing, your brain might just be wired for the finer things.
