Left or Right Brain?

[goldenboy]

OK, that ~Math~ thread on the Buffy Boards got me to thinking. These clearly aren't scientific, and they're easily cheatable if you know what they're looking for, but what the hell. Check 'em out if you're bored...

Are You Left-Brained or Right-Brained? (http://www.testcafe.com/lbrb/?affil=)

Although one side of the brain is generally dominant over the other, we should strive to utilize both halves. A balanced brain makes a balanced person - combining sequential thinking with a holistic approach, or linear thinking with intuition, enables us to fully comprehend issues and solve problems. Left-brainers can dramatically improve their problem solving abilities by learning to "follow their gut," while right-brainers can improve the execution of their creative efforts.

Realizing your dominant half is the first step in becoming balance-brained.

Your percentage score for the right brain is 63%.
Your percentage score for the left brain is 37%.
You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.

Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows:

Left Brain
Linear
Sequential
Symbolic
Logical
Verbal
Reality-based


Right Brain
Holistic
Random
Concrete
Intuitive
Nonverbal
Fantasy-oriented

[Black Eye Guy]

Slighty Righty
You scored 36 %Lefty and 64 %Righty!
You have a preference for the right hemisphere, which means you are likely to be more artistic and creative. But you are also lacking in an ability to objectify things, a lack of order and structure in your life may be holding you back. Watch out, can probably be hypnotised.

These things creep me out when they hit the nail on the mark. Like this describes me perfectly!

Although I've never tried the being Hypnotised thing.

[goldenboy]

Yeah, I feel like I'm way to cynical, skeptical (uptight? lol) to be hypnotized..

[Bored of the Dead]

Well balanced
(You scored 70 %Lefty and 92 %Righty!)

"Congratulations, you have well developed skills in both hemispheres. You see an abundance of ideas and you can easily make plans without getting lost in possibilities. Both the details and the bigger picture are obvious to you. You can relate to almost anyone, and understand their perspective. Undoubtedly you are good at anything you set your mind to. It may also be possible to hypnotise you."

Meh...sounds right and wrong

[Gollanth]

Your percentage score for the left brain is 52%.
Your percentage score for the right brain is 48%.

You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the "whole" picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge.

Not so sure that this is right for me - I've never really thought of myself as logical at all! :)

It was going good until it started on about numerical formulas and the use of numbers, I'm numerically dyslexic. I did used to want to be a librarian growing up and stopped short of a lawyer after I got my law degree.

You scored 68 %Lefty and 63 %Righty!
You prefer logic, objectivity and reason over artistic value, subjectivity and emotions. Order and structure are very important in you life, but you might occasionly benefit from looking at the bigger picture. You probably also spend a lot of time on the telephone, chatting with friends. Its also somewhat more difficult for you to become hypnotised.


But I hate to talk on the telephone lol

Almost perfect, both your hemispheres are balanced. You can understand and accept both objectivity and subjectivity. You see possibilities and can make decisions. But there's still some room for improvement.

Yay I'm balanced. Woot woot.
