    Got 10/11 with only thinking for about a second on each. Not that I think such a test to be of any particular meaning to begin with. What does "modern art" even mean? There are no criteria for somebody to qualify as an "artist", so a painting by a toddler is as much "art" as a painting by Vermeer, Warhol, or your neighbor who also paints a bit in the evenings. This test seems to be based on the rather naive idea that there's such a thing as a distinct group of "modern artists" who are united under some kind of common aesthetic principle.

    And I've never been particularly impressed by "experiments" that seek to prove a preconceived notion by carefully selecting samples and displaying them in ways to maximise the likelihood of being proven right.

    Political Values

    Radicalism 77.5
    Socialism 12.5
    Tenderness 37.5

    These scores indicate that you are a tough-minded moderate progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a liberated atheist. It appears that you are cynical towards religion, and have a suspicious and unsympathetic attitude towards humanity in general.

    Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as libertarian. 

    To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a pragmatist with few strong opinions.

    This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

    Unlike many other political tests found on the Internet which base themselves on untested (and usually ideologically motivated) ideas, this inventory is adapted from Hans Eysenck's own political inventory which was developed after extensive empirical investigations in the 20th Century.

    Radicalism69.25
    Socialism43.75
    Tenderness68.75

    These scores indicate that you are a tender-minded moderate progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with an animal rights activist. It appears that you are moderate towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

    Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist. 

    To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an egalitarian with few strong opinions.

    This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

    Pretty accurate. I took a couple different ones I found and they all showed "leftist libertarian" too. Is this bad? :-/

    Art of Gods in the Indian mythology http://imgur.com/a/m4wj7 I personally like Brahma, God of Creation.
    I like Ganesha's rat monster. Not sure why Durga's riding a lion instead of a tiger, though, or why Ravana only has one head. Or why Yudhishthira isn't a giant dragon.
