“Mirror mirror on the wall, what do my favorite movies say about my personality?” Wait, what? Yep,
you heard that right! Every single choice or preference of yours has a little of your
personality hidden in it. As such, and with the importance of having good self-awareness,
people have put a lot of emphasis on knowing and understanding themselves.
Even the smallest preferences, such as your preferred movie genre,
can be big indicators of who you are and what type of personality you have.
Who knew, right? Are you wondering what your favorite movie genre says about you?
But first, here’s a friendly reminder that this video is made for entertainment purposes only.
Well, then without further ado let's get the show on the road:
One, Fantasy or Animation
Can you count on one hand the number of times
you held marathons for the Harry Potter series?
Ah okay, so you’re from the LOTR clan. Do you like
Pixar Movies like Inside Out or Toy Story too? Well, either way, the fantasy-movie-lovers club
welcomes you with open arms. Who said animated and fantasy movies can only be liked by children,
right? After all, who doesn’t like time traveling with strange doctors or training their own dragon,
teeth or no teeth? Your membership at this club accentuates that you are unique and pure-hearted
and your child-like wonder equips you with creative and bright insight.
And no it does not mean you are immature. Whew! Sure, you are still a child at heart,
but there is nothing wrong with that. Additionally, research shows that it
is more usual for introverts who have developed a high level of imagination to like this movie genre
because of the classic relationship between fantasy and imagination.
Two, Drama
Have you tried that famous dance step from Joker?
Or maybe you thanked your lucky stars when Downton Abbey popped up in your movie
recommendations too? Surreal, right?! If so, you are a surefire member of the drama-movie-lovers
club. As part of this club, you are a highly empathetic person and have a huge heart. These
types of movies can really make you feel a variety of emotions and feelings that you wouldn’t be able
to feel on a day-to-day basis. You learn about the struggles that people go through in real life.

Three, Comedy
Do you enjoy watching movies
that make you laugh like there’s no tomorrow? According to the study “Who Watches What?:
Assessing The Impact Of Gender And Personality On Film Preferences”, people whose favorite
movie genre is comedy were confirmed to be more open, creative, and adventurous, as well as less
organized and attentive. This is explained by the fact that the comedy genre tends to have more
original content and plots that are unpredictable, which incentivizes more creative ways of thinking.
Four, Horror
Are you hoping
for another installment of The Conjuring? Or thinking of binging paranormal activity again?
Well, then it's no surprise you are a formal member of the horror-movie-lovers club. Shivers.
If you’re a member here, it's highly possible you might be extrovert and conscientious. According to
researchers at the University of Cambridge, horror movies are both defiant and intellectual. They
provoke thoughtful ideology through depictions of chaos and mayhem. This goes to say you will often
challenge the norm, but this same reason might make you a bit disagreeable sometimes. You are an
independent and strong person which shows as you sit hooked to the screen without batting an eye.
Five, Action
Do you enjoy movies that have
fast-paced fight scenes and plots? Are you all caught up on those impossible missions?
If the 007 tune is your jam, then you are a premium member of the -yeah you guessed that
right- the action-movie-lovers club! As part of this club, you are a very hard-working person
who prefers to go get what you want, rather than wait for things to happen. One of your
main traits is that you are less neurotic than people who favor other movie genres.
You like trying new and exotic things because of your adventurous and open personality.
Six, Romance
Now let’s be honest,
did you or did you not have something in your eye while watching Titanic?
Do you get transported somewhere else when you hear the word “notebook”? Well, then the name
of your club is -bingo- romance-movie-lovers. You are an official member of the club because
of how romance movies make you feel. Just like the genre, you are someone who is extremely romantic,
no doubt about that. You can be intense when it comes to the people that you love the most.
When you favor romance as your preferred movie genre, chances are that you are a
conscientious person. However, you are also less emotionally stable. Additionally, you
crave the relaxation and tension-breaking effect that the happy endings in these movies provide.
Seven, Science Fiction
Are you a regular visitor of the outer galaxies of
Star Trek? Is Baby Yoda your ultimate best friend? Well, then you most likely are a premium member of
the science fiction-movie-lovers club. As shown in these movies, this genre revolves around a future
where there is a great amount of injustice and suffering. The main protagonists of these movies
go against and overthrow the authorities, be it an oppressing government or technology.
According to researchers at the University of Cambridge, people whose favorite movie genre is
science fiction tend to be fairly rebellious. Additionally, you are a daydreamer with a very
vivid imagination, and you’re not scared of sharing outrageous and innovative ideas.
Each of the main elements from different movie genres has been researched and found out to be
related to different human behaviors. It’s probable that the points discussed might not
be 100% accurate to your personality type based on your favorite movie. And that is because each
person is unique and these are rough sketches to help unravel the mystery of personalities.
Your personality might not be similar to your club.
And that's completely okay because humans are complex beings with varying tastes.
As such no definite boundaries can contain the limitlessness that is personality.
Which club is yours then? Are you into more than one club? Did we cover all the genres?
