Personality and Art Preference test...

[Uberfuhrer]

I hijacked this test from INTJ Forum, but I think it's really interesting.

It's basically a Global 5 test with a 6th factor, and it also measures the kind of art one is inclined to prefer.

The Art & Personality Test from BBC

* * * * *

Über's favorite kind of art according to test results is Cubism. (However, he is much more fond of fantasy, science fiction, and Gothic art.)

His Global 5 Global 6 results were as follows:

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

Average Extroversion
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.

Average Conscientiousness
People with average conscientiousness scores have a sense of responsibility and like to get the job done. However, they might concentrate more on the big picture and less on the details than people with high conscientiousness scores.

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 empathizing 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.

The Global 5 Global 6 portion seemed to measure me as the equivalent of a slight eNTp.

Looking at a cubist painting is a bit like gazing into a shattered mirror – the image is fragmented and you can see it from different angles.

It said my favorite style of art was the Japanese ukiyo-e, but the only one I liked was the Mount Fiji scene. It was probably my favorite from the whole test. I thought the other examples were boring.


In the personality profile you had a high emotional stability score, which suggests you are less likely to suffer from an 'emotional rollercoaster' of rapid mood swings.

Average extraversion

Average conscientiousness
High emotional stability
People with high emotional stability scores tend to have a fairly constant experience of life. Although they have ups and downs, they rarely suffer from an 'emotional rollercoaster' of rapid mood swings. They take life in their stride and are unflappable. They are more relaxed, slow to take offence and don't worry too much about little things.
