Trehub and Peter C. Tira, "Musical Preference and Personality: Does Music Reflect the Person, or Does the Person Choose Music that Reflects Them?" by McCrae and Costa (1987), The Relationship Between Personality and Musical Instrument Choice" by McPherson and Gingras (2014), "Why Did You (Not) Choose Your Main Musical Instrument?
