Monday Time Wasting
I hate Mondays.

Not a surprise, as my scores on similar tests have been similar.
Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test…
Traditional, Vibrant, and Tasteful
28 Islamic, -1 Impressionist, 25 Ukiyo-e, -23 Cubist, -27 Abstract and 19 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.

As I don’t much care for what are traditionally called “the visual arts” this was not much of a surprise to me. However, I’m not sure how accurate this is, as I find paintings etc with an historical context more interesting in general.
Your result for Howard Gardner’s Eight Types of Intelligence Test…
Naturalistic
24% Logical, 16% Spatial, 43% Linguistic, 27% Intrapersonal, 22% Interpersonal, 14% Musical, 20% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 57% Naturalistic!
“This area has to do with nature, nurturing and relating information to one’s natural surroundings. Those with it are said to have greater sensitivity to nature and their place within it, the ability to nurture and grow things, and greater ease in caring for, taming and interacting with animals. They may also be able to discern changes in weather or similar fluctuations in their natural surroundings. They are also good at recognizing and classifying different species.
‘Naturalists’ learn best when the subject involves collecting and analyzing, or is closely related to something prominent in nature; they also don’t enjoy learning unfamiliar or seemingly useless subjects with little or no connections to nature. It is advised that naturalistic learners would learn more through being outside or in a kinesthetic way.
Careers which suit those with this intelligence include scientists, naturalists, conservationists, gardeners and farmers.” (Wikipedia)
