Left Brain/ Right Brain

Brain Lateralization Test Results

Right Brain||||20%
Left Brain||||||||||||||||||76%
*results won't usually add up to 100% as this test measures each side seperately

I found this quiz here and decided to give it a try. I knew, of course, that I would lean toward the more organized, orderly side. I really do get uneasy when I don't know what is coming next. Routine is very important to me. I didn't expect, however, to quite bit so unbalanced. Wow! Here is what the quiz says about the left and right brain:

Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.

Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.

Overall you appear to be Left Brain Dominant.


Unfortunately I can tell just by reading this that Daniel is right brain dominant. I really think that is the source of most of our disagreements. We just approach life differently. Fortunately we are both learning to see it the other way a bit more, though I must admit that it is difficult for me. The lack of directness is what gets me the most. It feels like someone is not quite being truthful with me. Anyway, I thought this was pretty interesting. Go take the quiz for yourself. Which side of your brain is more dominant?

That seems a little more balanced than I am, Fi. Thanks for playing along!
