These are results from the Artistic Preferences Scale 1.1. The APS1.1 measures three scores: two of style and one of content. The scores for these three scales are graphed below.

Scores Explanation

Scores on each scale range from -16 to +16.

• Your score for Linear vs. Painterly was -8. This indicates you have a strong preference for linear works over painterly ones. In linear works, the artists depicts clear shapes bounded by lines and attempts to achieve photorealism. This contrasts with a painterly style where the brush strokes will be visible.
• Your score for Realistic vs. Abstract was 0. This indicates you appreciate realistic and abstract works equally.
• Your score for Masculine vs. Feminine was 0. This indicates that you prefer equally works of art that depict subjects stereotypically of interest to males (e.g. fighting, machines, ships, architecture, etc.) as opposed to subjects usually associated with females (women in dresses, etc.).
