What this AP art history quiz measures
This AP art history quiz estimates self-reported recall across College Board unit themes. Twenty original agree-disagree items group into ancient art, Renaissance and Baroque, modern movements, and global traditions. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your AP art history knowledge index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed recall on this screener.

Ziggurats, kouroi, tomb programs, and materials like marble and bronze in early societies.
Renaissance and Baroque
Perspective, humanism, patronage, and dramatic light from Italy through Northern Europe.
Modern movements
Impressionism through Pop and Minimalism as breaks from academic tradition.
Global traditions
Islamic pattern, Asian temple sculpture, African ritual objects, and Indigenous Americas art.
