Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...
Simple, Progressive, and Sensual
27 Ukiyo-e, 7 Islamic, 6 Impressionist, -27 Cubist, -30 Abstract and 22 Renaissance!
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.

Looks pretty ho-hum.

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. :)
