If you prefer Queen’s Crazy Little Thing Called Love rather than Metallica’s Enter Sandman, your thinking style is likely to make you more of an empathiser (you focus on and respond to the emotions of others) than a systemiser (you analyse rules and patterns in the world), according to University of Cambridge psychologists in a new study in the journal PLoS ONE.
