As part of the B.B.C. programme 'How Art Made The World' the website has this lovely personality test.

Now I realise that some posters will fail at the first post- but let's assume everyone has a personality.


Fancy taking the test ?

I scored high on intellectualism, which seems fine. Apparently, I like secular islamic art... To be honest though, there was not one single painting I really liked, most of them just sucked

The Japanese art and the very structured abstract art I liked but I knew that before I took the test. I'm also a fan of Socialist Realism but that wasn't offered.

Actually, it was simply that I preferred the particular cubist paintings to the impressionists and disliked the abstracts that were presented. I dont appreciate most eastern art. Maybe I should have said I had more experience with art. Where were the Pollocks, something from the group of seven? Damn wishey washey water colours. Meh!

quote:

Average extraversion
People with average extraversion scores tend not to crave the company of others quite as much as people with high extraversion scores. But they also don't necessarily feel happiest on their own like people with low extraversion scores. They are somewhere in between. Sometimes they enjoy the stimulation of events like parties, but they are also more able to make their own entertainment.


Low agreeableness
People with low agreeableness scores are often fairly uncompromising. They refuse to be sentimental about other people and won't tolerate fools gladly. These people speak their mind and aren't afraid of offending people with their straight talking.


High conscientiousness
People with high conscientiousness scores like to do things properly. When they say they'll do something, they do it. They have a keen attention to detail and like things to be ordered and in their place. They like organisation and are prepared for every eventuality. They have a strong sense of responsibility.


Average emotional stability
People with average emotional stability scores are more likely to have mood swings than people with high emotional stability scores. But they tend to have a less varied emotional life than people with low emotional stability scores. They are somewhere in between. They can be fairly relaxed and predictable, but may occasionally have strong emotional reactions to events.


High intellectualism
People with high intellectualism scores are interested the abstract. They like thinking about things they can't see and have creative imaginations, able to dream up whole new worlds. They like to feel they understand things and will probe deeply into a subject to get as good an insight as possible.


High emotional intelligence
People with high emotional intelligence scores see themselves as emotionally well balanced. They believe they are good at empathising with other people and have a good insight into their own emotional needs, drives and reactions. High scorers see themselves as well balanced and largely in control of their own emotions. They also tend to feel confident in interacting with people and believe they are able to connect with and influence others by using their emotional understanding.

High intellectualism, high emotional intelligence, average everything else. Cubism.

For most of those art categories, I though one were really good, one was dreadful and the other two were just ok.

Your favourite type of art is Impressionism

Impressionist paintings often appear on mugs, calendars and posters. However, they weren't always so socially acceptable. Impressionist painters were initially criticized for attempting to capture the fleeting effects of light and colour found in nature.

Using daubs of pure colour, they painted landscapes, sunlight reflecting on water and flowers and rejected the traditional subjects and darker colours advocated by their teachers.






Low extraversion

People with low extraversion scores tend to be happier with their own company. They may have a small number of close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances. Less keen on going to wild parties and meeting people, they are more able to make their own entertainment and don’t seek as much external stimulation.


Low agreeableness

People with low agreeableness scores are often fairly uncompromising. They refuse to be sentimental about other people and won't tolerate fools gladly. These people speak their mind and aren't afraid of offending people with their straight talking.


Low conscientiousness

People with low conscientiousness scores have a laid-back attitude when it comes to being organised and getting things done. They are less concerned about order and prefer a relatively easy life to one that follows a detailed plan. They may procrastinate and not see things through, but the lack of rigid structure to their lives can make them more able to drop what they're doing and move onto something different.


Low emotional stability

People with low emotional stability scores have a very varied emotional life. They often have a lot of nervous energy, which can motivate them to do things. They have a strong emotional response to events and can't always predict how they're going to react, but whatever the reaction their life has a powerful emotional intensity.


High intellectualism

People with high intellectualism scores are interested the abstract. They like thinking about things they can't see and have creative imaginations, able to dream up whole new worlds. They like to feel they understand things and will probe deeply into a subject to get as good an insight as possible.


Average emotional intelligence

People with average emotional intelligence scores have a reasonably good emotional insight, but are only human. They believe they are relatively good at empathising with other people, though like anyone else they can occasionally get it wrong. Average scorers tend to see themselves as fairly well balanced, with some insight into their emotional make-up. They are pretty good at interacting with others and use their emotional insight to try to understand other people as well as they can.

I'm not sure if it means too much, though. I was grading most of the artwork far more on content than style. Woman looking sad? Whatever, no matter how it was done. Been there, seen that. Three creepy floating ghost-thingies in an etheral landscape? Intriguing. I'm right there (never mind that it turned out to be three veiled women going to mosque). Not to mention that my favorite picture of the set happened to be this awesome little Rube Goldberg pump-style contraption (that also happened to be secular Islamic art). I'd have liked that kind of thing if it had been Impressionist, Cubic, Japanese, or Islamic (in fact, now I'd really like to see an Impressionist mechanical draftwork. "Uh... I think we put this part near the flowy watercolor bit here." "No, you fool, that's where the ESSENCE of that part goes. It'll affect that area better over there!")

Thanks. I think you'd enjoy the series if it's shown on the BBC America channel or PBS, it's quite fascinating- especiallyhow they investigated the curious features of Neolithic rock art by referring to the art of San Bushmen in South Africa and relating it to trance states and the action of low intensity light emissions on the eyes.
