This is exactly why I hate sociology. It tries to make a point out of crap data like this.
It's trying to do a cross-analysis of SAT scores to individual students "Facebook" pages. It might be a fun thing to do but the limitations are to massive to derive any useful knowledge from the study.
My chief argument would be: SAT's are designed to test for a specific type of person. They are not designed to let non-standard intellects to score well. These non-standard intellects and rather loosely as "creative type" people. These creative type people might be more inclined to listen to abstract types of music (ie Jazz). Just a quick hypothesis that immediately jumped out to me when scanning the list.
