(

• ... that openness to experience and extraversion traits of the Big Five personality traits affect music preference?

• ALT1:... that openness correlates with liking jazz and that extraversion correlates with liking pop?

• This is a very well-written and well-researched article, created new on 2 November 2012. I can't access all of the articles cited, but reading abstracts confirms most of the facts cited, and in particular confirms the hook. So I think the article is ready for DYK. However, I would propose re-writing the hook. (1) The wording of the first part of the sentence is a little strange (should there be a "the" before "openness"?) Also the two long hyperlinks adjacent at the end of the sentence is not ideal. (2) With all of the interesting research collected in the article, maybe we could use a stronger action than "affect music preference". For example, we could mention that openness correlates with liking jazz, while extraversion correlates with liking pop. groupuscule (talk) 00:19, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

• I've added an alternate hook...I'm not sure how to best phrase it. Suggestions are welcome. Smallman12q (talk) 00:46, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

• I like ALT1 but maybe should hold off on the green check-mark for a day to see if there are other opinions/proposals or if the elders of DYK don't approve of linking the same article twice in one hook. groupuscule (talk) 10:20, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
• Let's go with ALT1
