How to Find a Song to Match a Personality

While an angry person might enjoy a happy song like Katrina & The Waves' "Walking on Sunshine," he's also likely to enjoy music that better fits his personality. There are some websites that categorize songs by different moods, such as gutsy or romantic, or you can use your own intuition. After you find a song to match a personality, whether for you or a friend, you can use it in a playlist.
