proofreading and problem­solving.

　　In an office­based experiment, 88 percent of participants

　　were found to produce their most accurate work when listening

　　to music.

　　The study also found that 81 percent completed their

　　fastest work when music was played.

　　And it matters what type of music you listen to. For

　　instance, if you're doing your tax returns, then classical music

　　is the most effective as it improves maths skills.

　　Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve

　　your speed, with 58 percent of participants completing data

　　entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs.

　　During proofreading, dance music, such as David

　　GuettA s, had the biggest positive impact on participants

　　increasing their speed by 20 percent compared to tests

　　undertaken with no music at all.

　　Dance music also had a positive effect on spell­checking

　　with a 75 percent pass rate compared to 68 percent when no

　　music was played at all.

　　The research, undertaken by Brighton­based Mindlab International, suggests that silent offices may be the least productive.
