I don't think that guaging ones intelligence by the music they listen to is all that flawed. But more so it tells their state of mind. You can tell a lot about people by how much the music they listen to makes them think...Britney Spears isn't exactly a serious artist that makes you think when you listen to her music so people listen to her just for the musical distraction so to speak...she makes "fun" poppy dance music and if a girls listening to her thats usually the state of mind that she's in at the time..having fun, dancing, stuff like that. Now if she was listening to someone like hmm lemme think who's a pretty popular band...Say Dashboard Confessional, R.E.M., Counting Crows, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers etc. those bands are a little more pensive and cerebrel. They make you think about things like relationships, feelings, getting away, or just that "Hey these are really good lyrics" ya know? So that shows that she likes to be somewhat involved in her music, she wants it to say something to her...So if she listens to both kinds that shows she likes to have her music speak to her but also sometimes she just likes to have a good time and enjoy life as well(Not to say that you can't have a good time listening to pensive music..I know I do)...So NO it's not THAT shallow or ignorant to base once intelligence or overall thought patterns on what type of music she listens to. And also compatability is key in any relationship as well as love and trust...keep that in mind man. You gotta have at least SOMETHING in common.

Asta!!
