"We consume books, movies, music, and visual art primarily to fulfill the internal emotional needs that are fundamental to our personalities. But we also make choices about art based on a desire to carve out identities for ourselves—to articulate the stories of our lives. By the same token, we look for those stories in others"

If our taste preferences reflect our personalities, does this mean we can accurately judge others based on their tastes?

Looks can be deceiving. Sometimes it can be like walking through a hall of Mirrors. We recognize in others many things we see in ourselves, but the individual histories, and personalities, make each of us too difficult to judge without extensive qualifications. we can be aware of their talents and potential, but perhaps the best we can do is compare the tastes, so we might more accurately judge ourselves.
