This quiz will guess what kind of painting you like. It is an art personality quiz that reveals your favorite artwork style accurately.
The Type of Painting That You Like
Art is a subjective medium of creation. The artist injects their individual views into their art. Likewise, choosing your favorite artwork is a subjective process. You decide if you like a painting based on your thoughts and emotions.
But things are not straightforward for all art enthusiasts. For some, picking their favorite painting is as challenging as picking their all-time favorite movie. There are so many options to choose from.
An alternative for picking your favorite art is letting your MBTI choose it for you.
If you already know your personality type, use the following table to find out what artwork style you might like.

How to Know What Kind of Painting You Like
It’s normal to be confused about the type of art you enjoy the most. Unlike your favorite color, your preferred art style doesn’t come to you instinctively. You may need time to explore various styles and mediums to make up your mind.
If you’re in a hurry, though, choose the kind of painting you like with these three strategies.
1. Choose Art Based on Style.
Learn more about art styles and techniques. Familiarize yourself with the most iconic movements and get to know the influential artists.
If you don’t know where to start, try overviewing Realism, Impressionism, and Surrealism.
2. Pick the Paintings that Suit Your Interior Design.
Your interior design can determine the kind of painting you like.
Many home décor styles are inspired by art movements that carry the same elements. So, look around and see what designs you already prefer.
If your interior design is modern, a modern or post-modern painting is an excellent choice. If it’s minimalist, then a minimalist painting is the perfect fit. And if it’s traditional, a religious or history painting is your best bet.

How to Play?
Playing personality quizzes is straightforward: Choose the option that’s true about you—or you relate to—and select “Next.” Unlike trivia quizzes, personality tests have no right or wrong answers. But the questions are in forced-choice format. The point is to push you to choose an option that makes the most sense, not the one that’s 100% true. For the most accurate results, don’t overthink your responses. Go with options that you “feel” are the best.
