Individual personality traits are also related to aesthetic experience and art preference. Individuals chronically disposed to clear, simple, and unambiguous knowledge express a particularly negative aesthetic experience towards abstract art, due to the void of meaningful content. Studies have provided evidence that a person's choice of art can be a useful measure of personality.
Personality traits influence an individual's aesthetic experience and preferences for art. Those with a tendency towards straightforward knowledge tend to dislike abstract art, which lacks significant meaning. Research indicates that choosing certain types of art can be indicative of one's personality.
