The website van the BBC currently features an Art and Personality experiment. In this experiment you are ask to view and rate some pictures plus answer a few personality questions. At the end of the experiment you should:

• find out your personality type
• see paintings from around the world
• discover art you might be interested in
• find out how art preference and personality may be linked.

The entire experiment should take about 15 minutes, so if you will excuse me now, I will give it a shot myself....

Ok, the result are, eh, rather surprising:

___________

Your favourite type of art is Japanese ukiyo-e.

In the personality profile you had a high intellectualism score, which suggests you like to think about abstract ideas and have a creative imagination.

People who are the same age and sex as you are most likely to prefer Impressionism

People who also score highly in your dominant personality trait are most likely to prefer Impressionism

___________

The thing is, I'm not into Japanese ukiyo-e. I can appreciate it, sure, but as the majority of test result for people like me suggest: my main interest is impressionism. Of course, so is Surrealism, but that was mentioned nor shown in the test.

So, I have serious doubts about the accuracy of this experiment, but knock yourself out and have a go yourself, it did take approximately 15 minutes.
