Is Personality Related to Genre? Help Me Find Out!

Having a background in psychology, I'm interested in finding out if there's a connection between certain personality traits and the genres of books individuals prefer. So I came up with a few questions to ask my fellow YA readers.

Of course, this is a completely unscientific, just-for-fun survey to give me an idea of any patterns that might exist. Hopefully I'll be able to make a questionnaire or two out of my results! I would love it if you would help me out by answering these questions (anonymously, of course!)

    What a fantastic idea for a survey! As soon as I saw the post title, I was excited. I'm sure the results will be very interesting and I'm looking forward to them. I've filled in the form :)

    I've read moxed reactions to Low Red Moon too and I can understand why now I've read it. I'm more comfortable with angels and faeries too but I've just read the second book in the Vampire Academy series and enjoyed it. Having said that, I found it to have more fantasy type elements. The series would be great to contirubute towards your challenge reads.

    Please publish your results! This looks so interesting! I have no psychology background but it's always fun to know what people who know what they're talking about think =)

    I'm hoping to be able to show everyone the results once I reach 100 people!

    @Darby: Some interesting trends - some that I might have predicted, and others that are quite surprising!
