Are you more right brain or left brain? Take the test

[johnnie]

http://brain.web-us.com/brain/braindominance.htm

Here is mine

You responded as a right brained person to 15 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 3questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your right brain the most.

[trof]

1. 11 right, 7 left.

[Droopy]

2. I'm middle brained

9 left and 9 right. The test said I was left brained anyway.

[johnnie]

11. Hey Droopy

Good to see ya.

[Droopy]

53. Good to see you, too

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I left for work right after I responded to this thread. You haven't been around for a while. Or at least not on at the same time as me. I'm about to break the 10,000 post barrier. I think I'm going to take a little break from DU after that. This place is starting to affect my sleep patter :crazy: I've made some serious changes lately. I don't know if you've seen my posts about that. I quit smoking, drinking, sniffing gl... wait a minute. Anyway I've given up all of my bad habits and joined a gym. I've lost 25 pounds so far.

[MadHound]

13. Same thing I got

Kinda figures, I'm pretty much ambidestrous to go along with it. I don't think that we're middle brained, just that we use ALL of our brain:evilgrin:

[tonkatoy57]

3. 4 Right/14 Left

[Serial Mom]

32. same here

[Spider Jerusalem]

64. Moi aussi.

[ps1074]

87. same

4 right / 14 left

[TK421]

4. 11 left and 7 right

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Me, too.

[TK421]

17. I've read the explanation on this, but I'm still a bit confused!

[trackfan]

18. Me also

[magnetism]

83. Me as well.

What is the deal with practicing the right-side stuff? Why do I need balance if I like the way I think?

[Rising Phoenix]

5. I'm right brained, 14 right/ 4 left

[redqueen]

6. 6 left, 12 right.

[underpants]

7. Right 5 - Left....uh how ever many else there were

Sorry forgot

[KyndCulture]

8. 12 right, 6 left....

I figured as much. It's a reasonable test.

[BrklynLiberal]

49. That was my results as well.

[Shell Beau]

10. Here you go!

You responded as a right brained person to 7 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 11questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your left brain the most.

[jus_the_facts]

12. WTF is up with this....

You responded as a right brained person to 9 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 9questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your left brain the most.

....if it's an equal number of responses each...then how's it that I use my left brain the most? :crazy:

[progmom]

14. 10 left, 8 right.

:shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. Me, too!

:woohoo:

AND I'm an ENTP and a linear - abstract.

[Rambis]

67. Me three

I'm so confused!

[progmom]

68. I'm INFP.

:hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

74. Oh, God, an "F"!

You people are weird.

:hi:

And I'm really more of an "I" than an "E", but because of the way the questions are worded in the test, I come up with E - for instance, I *like* having people around, but I *don't* necessarily like interacting with them. I study well at coffee shops, where there are lots of people that I don't have to talk to, better than studying at home.

So that skews a few questions.

[progmom]

79. ack - i don't even remember what the f stands for....

[Rabrrrrrr]

84. Hah! Figures! A "T" remembers!

F means you make decisions mainly based on feeling and emotion. Lots of ministers and social workers and camp counselors are Fs (though not all, of course). Fs can have a hard time firing people because they might worry how the person will feed his/her family, or survive, or whatever. The F may very well recognize that the person needs to be fired, but will fret and feel horrible about it, and especially have a hard time in the actual firing moment. McCoy was definitely an F (except when actually studying his medicine, in which he was very much a T).

T are people who make decisions mainly based on logic and reason. Scientists and some businesspeople tend toward T. A T doesn't have a hard time firing people, because, hey, they aren't doing their work. While the T might still feel bad about it, and worry how the guy/woman is gonna survive after losing their job, the feeling bad part doesn't enter into the fact that the person is crappy at the work and needs to go. Spock is most definitely a T.

[Fleshdancer]

69. same here. we should form a club.

:D

[progmom]

70. sounds good to me!

:hi:

[caty]

15. 6 for right

12 for left

[edbermac]

16. I'm a No Brained person

And so is the kid on the left...

[DS1]

19. 15 right - 3 left

and I thought I was answering down the middle :shrug:

[johnnie]

21. Same as me

I started looking into this because I wondered why I could do certain things and other things made no sense to me. For example they say that the left brain would remember words (higher vocabulary and spelling) and the right would remember song lyrics. :shrug:

It's pretty interesting stuff actually.

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. Wow! Now, I figured you'd be much closer to what I got

In fact, after I took the test, I looked at the posts for your name thinking "I bet DS1 and I are close".

Guess not!!

[yvr girl]

20. 9 for each

[mcar]

22. That's me, too

:toast:

[u4ic]

28. And me

:hi:

[wildhorses]

23. how come if you score 9/9

it means that you are left brained?
can't I be ambidextrous brained?
just askin'....

[jus_the_facts]

25. I got the same thing....

:wtf:

[johnnie]

26. I guess it is based on which answers you answered

Each separate answer and not as a whole. :shrug:

[LynzM]

76. Same here

You responded as a right brained person to 9 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 9questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your left brain the most.

[NV Whino]

24. oh, oh I think I'm in trouble

Right = 0
Left = 18

[knowbody0]

37. same as me

does that mean my right is dead?

[NV Whino]

78. Sounds like we should find some right brained people

and hang out with them.

[Left_Winger]

27. 11 left, 7 right

[liberalitch]

29. 100% left brained

[Tikki]

59. Ya...me too....

all left brained......


Whoa...


Tikki

[Rabrrrrrr]

30. I'm a lefty, though it's close - 10 left, 8 right

I have a nice balance, and thank God I'm leaning a bit more to the logical, sensible, thoughtful side.

:-)

[calico1]

33. 8 right, 10 left. n/t

[toey]

40. ditto

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

75. Me three (nt)

[BlueIris]

35. Bizarre. Left-brain: 18; Right-brain: 0. Teachers/scientists: EXPLAIN.

You guys, I'm an artist!!! Or, rather, a writer. But I'm a creative writer. A GOOD one. I SWEAR. What. The. Fuck. I have always been told that I was a Right-brain thinker. How is it bloody possible that I am that Left-brain dominant??? I don't understand. I'm CONFUSED.

[SocratesInSpirit]

39. I got the exact same results

And I am also a creative writer. Strange! :crazy:

[BlueIris]

41. Yeah, I DON'T GET IT.

Maybe I need to take the test again, but--I'm pretty sure I gave the best, most truthful answers. That makes NO. SENSE. I suck at math. SUCK at it. It's actually been a fairly significant obstacle to my ability to achieve my entire life, the world of academic testing being arranged to prevent those without math skills from advancing beyond a certain point. WHAT THE HELL. Seriously, I'm going to get this evaluated further when I again have the means because it does not jive with what I've always been told my thinking, studying and working style indicated.

[SocratesInSpirit]

45. I suck at math too and it was my least favorite subject.

My boss laughs at me when I can't do simple calculations in my head. Which is funny, because my father's an actuary, and he's a human calculator. Hmmm...maybe his genes were popping up when I took the test.

[DS1]

46. I am not very good at math, because it doesn't interest me, but

in Geometry, I'll run rings around a lot of people. And I'm way better at visuals and faces than intricate techy stuff. I can spot the slightest change in a picture I haven't seen in a while.

Weird.

[supernova]

48. I'm not sure why they lumped language and math

together on the left side of the brain? Usually those are opposite skills?

I'm terrible at algebra, but I do like geometry.

[Rabrrrrrr]

51. No, language and math are very similar (along with music)

It's all patterns and rules and systematic systems.

However - that's only at the root level of language (or music). Using the language (or music) creatively or uniquely, that's a right brain thing.

Left brain will let you learn foreign languages, learn grammar, syntax, and even build a huge vocabulary in your native or a foreign tongue, and let you make technically perfect sentences in whatever language you want. But it's the right brain that will arrange and inform those perfect sentences into Moby Dick or Finnegan's Wake or a hymn text or Churchill speech.

(same with music)

Left brain - tools
Right brain - inspiration, and how to use those tools the "wrong way"

[BlueIris]

50. I really, really don't understand why my score was what it was.

And I took it again, to make sure I hadn't given "bad answers." I'm a left-brainer. This. Makes. No. Sense.

[lumberingbear]

36. 15 left and 3 right

"Left brained" :crazy:

[ceile]

38. 8 right 10 left n/t

[LaraMN]

42. 14 right/ 4 left

[deadparrot]

43. Right brained...nt

[TheProphetess]

44. 11 right and 7 left

Hmmm...ok

[supernova]

47. 12/6 Right/Left

Dead on about generating material then outlining it afterwards. LOL!

[enigmatic]

52. 9/9

I really am enigmatic!

[Wapsie B]

54. 8 right 10 left

[MisterP]

55. I'm ambibranous! (left, actually, which is odd)

[BamaGirl]

56. 10 right, 8 left nt

[GoddessOfGuinness]

57. 12 left, 6 right

Interesting...I've always thought of myself as more
intuition-oriented.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

58. I've had a full test on that in college. I found out I am equally

balanced.

[NorthernSpy]

60. evenly divided! maybe that's why I keep forgetting...

... which hand is which.

:dunce:

Seriously. I still have some trouble distinguishing left from right, stupid as that sounds.

[leftofthedial]

61. 18 left, 0 right

go figure

[iverglas]

80. hahahaha

"Go figure", a left-brained joke, right? Good one. ;)

(Or maybe that was just my lateral-thinking right brain bits sneaking out ...)

15 left / 3 right, here.

[leftofthedial]

91. it was your sense of humor being corrupted by that "3 right"

I crack me up

[ProfessorGAC]

62. 6 Right; 12 Left

The one theater question was weird though. I like sitting to the left, because i'm blind in my left eye so i want my good eye toward the middle of the screen, if possible. I don't know what i'd prefer if i wasn't blind in one eye.
The Professor

[nonconformist]

63. Right brain = 14 left brain = 4 nt

[cleofus1]

65. left

You responded as a right brained person to 9 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 9questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your left brain the most. The summary briefly describes your dominance type. Remember, this only represents half of the picture.

[Hugin]

73. Same here.

Well, isn't that interesting.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

86. Exactly the same here too

[RebelOne]

81. Responded as a left-brained person to 18 questions.

Maybe that explains why I am left-handed.

[nickinSTL]

82. 16 to 2 left brained

there were a couple that were iffy, one way or the other, so on the outside, I'd be around 14 to 4...but still very much left-brained.

Hardly a surprise, I might add.

I'd wager that my fiancee, a graphic artist, is much more likely to score right brained.

[youthere]

93. I was the exact opposite. 16 to 2 right brained.

[JVS]

85. 12 left 6 right

[SOteric]

88. 9/9

[I Have A Dream]

89. Right brained: 0 Left brained: 18

I'm a computer programmer, so I guess that this makes sense.

[OhioChick]

90. Right-4, Left-14 n/t

[BigMcLargehuge]

92. lefty all the way here

You responded as a right brained person to 0 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 18questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your left brain the most. The summary briefly describes your dominance type

[Pale Blue Dot]

94. 6 right, 12 left

This is exactly my problem. I'd much rather be right-brained, but the reality is I'm mostly left.

[johnnie]

95. But being right brained is frustrating..

Too much stuttering on thoughts in my opinion.

[Briarius]

96. 9/9

yet somehow that's a left brain dominance...

[UTUSN]

97. Don't Hate Me (More) Because I'm 9-9 n/t

[NervousRex]

98. 16 Right, 2 Left

I am not surprised.
