If you use Last.fm on regular basic, you can now check if you're an open mind or not, according to your Top Artist's tags. If you want to see it, the tool is located here: http://www.musickum.com/omi/index.php5 -- just insert your Last.fm username and it'll do it's magic. An excerpt from thier FAQ: What stands OMI for? OMI is abbreviation of Open Mind Index, and mirrors the bandwidth of your taste in music. A high OMI is an indicator for a high musical bandwidth and your openness for different kind of music. How will OMI be calculated? The calculation is based on your last.fm-profile, respectively on your top artist of the last 12 months. The quantity of your played songs, as well as the artist-tags will be considered. By the quantity, distribution and weighting of the tags, the OMI will be calculated. Why do you only consider the artists of the last 12 months? Your top-artists change from one month to the next one. In this way it is easier to calculate your current taste in music, than to consider every artist. By this calculation scripts, a visualisation of the chronically trend of your taste of music can be done. You can see my musical taste and all info here: http://www.musickum.com/omi/index.php5?username=moriakaice And don't forget to post your OMI results as well!

But it was more of a question about Last.fm and your musical taste... Maybe you should post a link to your OMI results from the tool I've written about.

How interesting. I listen to music from all over the world though, so I really don't need a computer to tell me how open minded I am when it comes to music.

MY OMI is 96, and I have it placed on my last.fm profile. it is a recent measure of my music taste since it was taken in March. It had grown 22 points from a OMI of 74, when I originally did the OMI thing when it first came out on last.fm.
