I used Miro for years and loved it. Now my company has Mural, which is better for creating presentations, but not as good as Miro at being an actual collaborative space.
I recently had to ask 5-8 colleagues to fill out a TRACOM "Social Styles Assessment" for an upcoming training program at work, so this is something I've been curious about as well. It appears that TRACOM's Social Style Model is more "effective" than the leading Meyers-Briggs program [0], but I'm not clear on how that compares to people who do not participate in any training/assessment at all.
edit: from the linked journal article:
> In addition, 73% of these professionals believe that interpersonal skills training is effective despite the lack of empirical evidence for such a claim.
True. I wonder if now, six years later, more older music, not just the biggest hits, has been digitized as well, so that the sample does not skew so heavily.
I do think pitch content is a useful metric. A lot of popular songs reuse a handful of common chord progressions. While the key and timbre may change from song to song, the tension and resolution of the chord changes, which can often be heard to have a certain feeling or emotional content in Western music, remains the same.
Further down in the Scientific American piece, one of the researchers does respond to this:
>Serrà acknowledged in an email that a bias due to the “test of time” effect is possible but argued that its influence should be small. For instance, he noted, the long-term patterns and trends that he and his colleagues identified also hold over relatively short—and relatively recent—time periods (say, 1997 to 2007), where the “test of time” effect should be minimal. “The same happens with close and not-so-recent time periods (e.g., 1960 and 1968), where both years could partly incorporate such an effect,” he wrote. “Since the trend is consistent in short time spans where you assume the ‘test of time’ bias is minimal and, furthermore, the trend is also consistent for longer time spans, we can assume it is a general trend and, thus, that the ‘test of time’ effect is really small.”
> While there is still innovation, there aren't dramatic changes happening as often in the past two decades. There are many popular songs today that could have been popular in 00's and vice versa.
> Some rap seems to still be innovating, but rock, pop, and a lot of electronic music seems to be stuck in a rut.
Now that everything is available on-demand via streaming services, new music is competing not just with a glut of contemporary works, but with the ever-increasing body of prior works.
Why try something new when you can listen to your old favorites at any time? Unless the new thing sounds a lot like the thing you already really like.

Look what that has done to "Online Content-with-a-capital-C" at large.
If you launched an ad-supported website today and wanted to make any real kind of money from it, how many page views would you need? And how would that number impact the type of content you created for that site?
