10 August 2009 Personality linked to artistic tasteYour favourite painting could reveal a lot about your personality according to a new study published in the British Journal of Psychology. In the largest study ever conducted into the psychology of art preferences, Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic and a team from Goldsmiths, University of London, examined the artistic preferences of 91,692 participants recruited through the BBC website. The team aimed to investigate whether specific personality traits are linked to the liking of particular genres of painting. The participants, aged between 13 and 90, filled out online personality questionnaires and rated their liking for paintings from six artistic movements. Dr Chamorro-Premuzic said some interesting patterns of preference were found between the big five personality traits - openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion and neuroticism. The strongest personality trait linked to art preference was openness - people who scored high on openness gave the highest levels of liking for all the paintings. He went on to say this was in line with expectations, as people with high openness scores tend to be imaginative and creative and seek out new experiences, while low scorers are down-to-earth, and more practical in nature. Results also showed that more conscientious people liked all of the paintings less than most - which supports previous research that found conscientious people are less interested in art generally. However, businesses are unlikely to turn to art as a means to assessing the suitability of job applicants and more traditional psychometric testing is likely to remain their top choice for some time to come.
