Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...

Traditional, Vibrant, and Tasteful


Islamic art is developed from many sources: Roman, Early Christian, and Byzantine styles were taken over in early Islamic architecture; the architecture and decorative art of pre-Islamic Persia was of paramount significance; Central Asian styles were brought in with various nomadic incursions; and Chinese influences . Islamic art uses many geometical floral or vegetable designs in a repetitive pattern known as arabesque. It is used to symbolize the transcendent, indivisible and infinite nature of Allah.


People that like Islamic art tend to be more traditional people that appreciate keeping patterns that they learned and experienced from their past. It is not to say that they are not innovative personalities, they just do not like to let go of their roots. They like to put new ideas into details and make certain that they will work before sharing them with others. Failure is not something they like to think about because they are more interested in being successful and appreciated for their intelligence. These people can also be or like elaborate things in their life as long as they are tasteful. They tend to prefer geometric patterns and vibrant colors.

I, too, am traditional, vibrant and tasteful.

You scored 11 on Impressionist, higher than 74% of your peers.
You scored 17 on Islamic, higher than 88% of your peers.
You scored -1 on Ukiyo-e, higher than 31% of your peers.
You scored 3 on Cubist, higher than 81% of your peers.
You scored -19 on Abstract, higher than 33% of your peers.
You scored -9 on Renaissance, higher than 31% of your peers.

But, what I can't wait for, is to hear from my sister. She's an art conservator at a major museum and I figure she and her coworkers should have a blast with it. (Plus, her museum has a big collection of Japanese prints so she's going to know almost all the choices by name.)

Balanced, Secure, and Realistic.

I'm -1 Islamic, which is weird seeing as I am in fact half Islamic, and 8 Ukiyo-e, which is awesome because at my institute I helped creating the biggest ukiyo-e online database in the world.
