The face test is interesting. Only, I scored 50/50 on the introversion/extroversion scale so it doesn't really say much.

Spot the Fake Smile Results:

You got 16 out of 20 correct

[outmywindow]

Fake Smile: 17 out of 20.

It's funny -- I did very well on it, and didn't feel like I was just guessing, yet if you were to ask me to explain how I knew fake from real, I'd have a hard time.

Art and Personality Quiz:

Your favourite type of art is Impressionism.

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 extraversion
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.


Average agreeableness
People with average agreeableness scores tend not to be as keen to understand other people's feelings as people with high agreeableness scores. But they are also more likely to seek a compromise or avoid offending others than people with low agreeableness scores. They are somewhere in between. They can engage positively with others and put people at their ease, but they may be more likely to speak their mind, even at the risk of offending someone.


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.


Average emotional stability
People with average emotional stability scores are more likely to have mood swings than people with high emotional stability scores. But they tend to have a less varied emotional life than people with low emotional stability scores. They are somewhere in between. They can be fairly relaxed and predictable, but may occasionally have strong emotional reactions to events.


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.


High emotional intelligence
People with high emotional intelligence scores see themselves as emotionally well balanced. They believe they are good at empathising with other people and have a good insight into their own emotional needs, drives and reactions. High scorers see themselves as well balanced and largely in control of their own emotions. They also tend to feel confident in interacting with people and believe they are able to connect with and influence others by using their emotional understanding.

I think it could have went either way between the Impressionism and the Northern Renaissance.

I spent a while doing the colour test and it didn't really give any results :rant:

However I do strongly relate bright green with Monday, orange with Wednesday, and Red with Friday.

I'm dreadfully predictable. In all fairness though, it wasn't much of a competition. Those weird two-dimensional renaissance paintings, a couple of japanese bird-on-branches, and abstract art, which nobody likes. Cubism was the only worthy opponent IMO.

Thank you for completing the self-control questionnaire. We hope it didn't feel too unusual that we ended on question eleven.

You are the master of your urges. Your friends all regard you as an icily shrewd character who never lets your normal human impulses overcome your better judgment. You've always got your wits about you.

If you're not already a Formula One driver, a champion chess player or a fighter pilot, you should think of a career change.

Your scored 6 out of a possible 20.

You rate as: Low risk promiscuity - 0 to 6 points

Responsible, dependable, caring and happy with their own lot. They will not look outside of the relationship for their thrills and do not rely on novelty to give themselves the high of being in love. They have greater satisfaction, a greater degree of investment in the relationship and a lack of perceived alternatives - they look only to their partner for all the benefits of a loving relationship.

Quite, but I personally consider Richard Scarry to be a superior interpreter of that genre.
