Also, context is something that has an effect to my personal "consumption trends" - I would not necessarily own the same music as I would choose to be exposed to in a club or at a gig, or listen to the same music as I'm cooking and walking to work. But perhaps that is actually something that could tell you about my personality! I have noticed your music changes as your circumstances change - but I guess so does your personality. But would you suddenly become inherently introvert if someone close to you died for instance?
