Unlike western art, Islamic art is difficult to separate into different styles. That's because, for the most part, artists in countries influenced by Islam continued to follow traditional methods. Western artists, on the other hand, have periodically rebelled against tradition and created radically new styles – abstract art, for example.
That's not to say Islamic art isn't innovative. Artist's tended to put their new ideas in the detail, which isn't always noticeable at first. Islamic art often includes elaborate calligraphy of Koranic verses, vibrant colours and geometric patterns.
Religious Islamic art doesn't include human images because portraiture is considered to be idolatry in Islam. But in non-religious, private paintings from societies influenced by Islam, human figures are extremely important.
The Islamic era begins when the prophet Muhammad migrated to Medina in AD 622.

High intellectualism
People with high intellectualism scores are interested the abstract. They like thinking about things they can't see and have creative imaginations, able to dream up whole new worlds. They like to feel they understand things and will probe deeply into a subject to get as good an insight as possible.
High emotional intelligence
People with high emotional intelligence scores see themselves as emotionally well balanced. They believe they are good at empathising with other people and have a good insight into their own emotional needs, drives and reactions. High scorers see themselves as well balanced and largely in control of their own emotions. They also tend to feel confident in interacting with people and believe they are able to connect with and influence others by using their emotional understanding.
Average extraversion
People with average extraversion scores tend not to crave the company of others quite as much as people with high extraversion scores. But they also don't necessarily feel happiest on their own like people with low extraversion scores. They are somewhere in between. Sometimes they enjoy the stimulation of events like parties, but they are also more able to make their own entertainment.
Average agreeableness
People with average agreeableness scores tend not to be as keen to understand other people's feelings as people with high agreeableness scores. But they are also more likely to seek a compromise or avoid offending others than people with low agreeableness scores. They are somewhere in between. They can engage positively with others and put people at their ease, but they may be more likely to speak their mind, even at the risk of offending someone.
Average conscientiousness
People with average conscientiousness scores have a sense of responsibility and like to get the job done. However, they might concentrate more on the big picture and less on the details than people with high conscientiousness scores.
Average emotional stability
People with average emotional stability scores are more likely to have mood swings than people with high emotional stability scores. But they tend to have a less varied emotional life than people with low emotional stability scores. They are somewhere in between. They can be fairly relaxed and predictable, but may occasionally have strong emotional reactions to events.
