Your test is flawed.  A lot of people like to listen to more than two types of music.  I listen to most of those genres pretty much equally.

Interesting idea. Mula and Trimble (2009) just published an article called "Music and Madness". Here's a brief overview.

Music has soothed the souls of human beings for centuries and it has helped people recover from ailments since ancient times. Today, there is still a widespread interest in the relationship between music, affect and mental illness. This article is aimed at reviewing these complex relationships, starting from a wide perspective on the neurobiology of emotions, perceptions and music language to a detailed analysis of psychopathology in famous musicians.

That's not an overview, that's the introduction. It contains no information and is functionally worthless. Stop quoting journals if you're not even going to read what you post, much less the whole journal.

1. In general, how often do you usually worry about things in life?

Ideally, worrying is simply a barbaric form of motivation, opposite of ambition, really pointless for me now that I can analyze things.

2. You're about to get called into a job interview, how nervous are you?

I had to apply myself, why would I be nervous?

3. You consider yourself more:

Reserved I guess.

4. A good friend of yours offers a food sample of something you've never seen before. You are likely to:

I don't have friends, especially not good ones. If you mean someone, then it's too situational. For example, if it's a combination of something I like, or a viable variation, I might. Otherwise, probably not.

5. You consider yourself more concerned with:

That's a completely non-understandable question. How can you have interests that are not your own?

6. A real close friend of yours is in a bind and asks to borrow $500.00. How likely are you to lend it to him/her?

I don't have close friends, and I don't have 500 dollars to give to people, so probably not.

7. You consider yourself more:

Your accusation of working hard being equal to that of an addiction really shows your bias. Rather, we should call it "Laziholic" and "Hard Worker", or "Hard Worker" and "Laid Back".

Still, I would say hard worker.

8. After an assignment is given, how likely are you to procrastinate?

Not likely, though it's situational.

9. You consider yourself more:

Imaginative O-----O-----O-----O-----* Down-to-Earth

10. Your significant other proposes a new idea to change up the way the household will live, you are more likely to:

Resist the Change O-----O-----*-----O-----O Give it a Shot

11. What type of music do you prefer to listen to out of these listed? Put number 1 next to your first choice, and number 2 for your second choice.

Jazz 1|Classical  2|Rock Alternative Heavy Metal

Country Pop Rap/Hip-hop Soul/Funk Techno/Dance

12. How much time do you spend per day roughly listening to the top 1 music you picked?

___12_______Hours and/or _____ Minutes.

I crossed out the clear typo of you putting noise under the category of music.
