Once I posted some information about the uselessness of the MB types, Artemus then posted:
"Do you believe different people have different personalities? Or.are we all the same? I'm surprised that so many have got hung up on MB. The question was if/how discordant melodies might effect different personality types. How you define those types is an altogether different question. "
You asked if there was a study. What kind of study did were you thinking of? I assumed you were thinking of some kind of scientific study, meaning there was a use of the scientific method to answer the interesting question you asked. You were the one that brought up the MB--which could be one way to define the types whose responses to discordant melodies would be studied. I just said that per psychometric data, the MB was not a good way to define those types.
If there's going to be any sort of study of how different groups respond to something, you'll need a way to define those groups carefully, or the results will be "garbage in, garbage out."
Artemus, I have the impression that you got impatient with the attempt to bring a bit of science into what is potentially an interesting question.
I am not willing to get into an argument about whether psychology is a science--it's a complex question that involves defining what science is for starters.
