Simple, Progressive, and Sensual

Ukiyo-e (浮世絵, Ukiyo-e), "pictures of the floating world", is a genre of Japaneseand paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries. it mostly featured landscapes, historic tales, theatre, and pleasure. Ukiyo is a rather impetuous urban culture that has bloomed in popularity. Although the Japanese were more strict and had many prohibitions it did not affect the rising merchant class and therefore became a floating art form that did not bind itself to the normal ideals of society.
People that chose Ukiyo-e art tend to be more simplistic yet elegant. They don't care much about new style but are comfortable in creating their own. They like the idea of living for the moment and enjoy giving and receiving pleasure. They may be more agreeable than other people and do not like to argue. They do not mind following traditions but are not afraid to move forward to experience other ideas in life. They tend to enjoy nature and the outdoors. They do not mind being more adventurous in their sexual experiences. They enjoy being popular and like being noticed. They have their own unique style of dress and of presenting themselves. They may also tend to be more business oriented or at the very least interested in money making adventures. They might make good entrepreneurs. They are progressive and adaptable.

What this mostly says is that the quiz didn't include many pictures with dramatic lighting in them, which is what really appeals to me.

Yeah, they didn't have any Western illustration, which I might have liked better, and very little Renaissance portraiture - it was mostly grim/prim religious stuff. I got:

Traditional, Vibrant, and Tasteful
24 Islamic, 12 Impressionist, 24 Ukiyo-e, -19 Cubist, -31 Abstract and 12 Renaissance!
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 don't necessarily disagree with the analysis, except that I don't particularly like geometrics - I like flowing, natural lines. The Islamic ones I picked were the calligraphy/nature ones, which appealed to my design preferences.

In my case all it really means is that in about 2/3rds of those galleries I picked one even though I'd have preferred a "I hate all three of these and do not consider them to be worthy of consideration" button.

Looks pretty ho-hum.
Here's a larger view: http://www.wga.hu/art/b/bosch/3garden/wings/11left.jpg
Look at the detail and imagination on the trees and wildlife. The surreal landscape. You could easily overlook that in the first image.
And that's not even the entire image: http://smallbay.ru/images/bosch031.jpg Couldn't confirm if this was improved in photoshop, or if the physical painting's color has been restored. Sometimes the art we actually think looks dull sometimes is that way because of aged pigment and smoke damage. :)
