OT - got this off of WetCanvas - brain test

Very interesting:

My Brain Usage Profile

Auditory : 53%

Left : 33%
Right : 66%

Debbie, you show a slight right-hemisphere dominance with a moderate
preference for auditory processing, an unusual and somewhat paradoxical
combination of characteristics.

You are drawn to a random and sometimes nonchalant synthesis of material.
You learn as it seems important to a specific situation, and might even
develop a resentment of others who attempt to direct your learning down a
specific channel.

Your right-hemispheric dominance provides a structure that is only loosely
organized and one which processes entire swatches of reality, overlooking
details. You are emotional in your reactions and perceptual more than
logical in your approach, although you can impose structure and a language
base when necessary.

Your auditory preference, on the other hand, implies that you process
information sequentially and unidimensionally. This combination of
right-brain and auditory modes creates conflict, as you want to process data
more rapidly than your natural processes allow.

Your tendency to be creative and free-flowing is accompanied by sufficient
ability to organize and be logical, allowing you a reasonable degree of
success in a number of different endeavors. You take in information
methodically and systematically which can then be synthesized rapidly. In
this manner, you manage to function consistently well, although certainly
less efficiently than you desire.

You prefer the abstract and are a theoretician at heart while retaining the
ability to be practical. You find the symbolism in a great deal of what you
encounter and are something of a "mystic."

With regards to your lifestyle, you have the mentality which would be good
as a philosopher, writer, journalist, or instructor, or possibly as a
systems designer or social worker. Perhaps most important is your ability to
"listen to your inner voice" as a mode of skipping over unnecessary steps to
achieve your goals.

For fun and education - Pretty accurate test!

Here are my results...

Your Brain Usage Profile
Auditory : 47%
Visual : 52%
Left : 47%
Right : 52%

kandice, you are one of those rare individuals who are perfectly
"balanced"
in both your hemispheric tendencies and your sensory learning preferences.
However, there is both good news and bad news.
A problem with hemispheric balance is that you will tend to feel more
conflict than someone who has a clearly established dominance. At times
the
conflict will be between what you feel and what you think but will also
involve how you attack problems and how you perceive information. Details
which will seem important to the right hemis- phere will be discounted by
the left and vice versa, which can present a hindrance to learning
efficiently.
In the same vein, you may have a problem with organization. You might
organize your time and/or space only to feel the need to reorganize five
to
ten weeks later.
On the positive side, you bring resources to problem-solving that others
may
not have. You can perceive the "big picture" and the essential details
simultaneously and maintain the cognitive perspective required. You
possess
sufficient verbal skills to translate your intuition into a form which can
be understood by others while still being able to access ideas and
concepts
which do not lend themselves to language.
Your balanced nature might lead you to second-guess yourself in artistic
endeavors, losing some of the fluidity, spontaneity and creativity that
otherwise would be yours.
With your balanced sensory styles, you process data alternately, at times
visually and other times auditorially. This usage of separate memories may
cause you to require more time to integrate information or re-access it.
When presented with situations which force purely visual or purely
auditory
learning, increased anxiety is likely and your learning efficiency will
decrease.
Your greatest benefit is that you can succeed in multiple fields due to
the
great plasticity and flexibility you possess.

You got the same one I did. But I am predominantly intuitive and holistic
(right brained), not left brained. I figured it could be from the questions
being so non-kinetic that they required analysis.

I don't have a visual preference and have no need to seek stimulation
because it is constant for me as a very receptive person (info flows in to
me, so I don't particularly focus outward). And though I have a need to
catch up to myself it's from chronic Depression.

And so on. Way off.

doesn't have my number:

Mary, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for
visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You
probably
tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.

Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is
organized
and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference,
though,
has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can
overwhelm
structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty
and
agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to "catch
up"
with yourself.

Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is
reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of
your chosen field of endeavor. You can "size up" situations and take in
information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being
classified and organized which causes you to "lose touch" with the
immediacy
of the problem.

Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the
long run it may work to your advantage since you "learn from experience"
and
can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.

You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical.
Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this,
you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern
and
only then work with the "larger whole."

With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be
good
as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering
technician. You can "see where you want to go" and even be able to "tell
yourself," but find that you are "fighting yourself" at the darndest
times.

Last paragraph is pretty much dead on for me....

Your Brain Usage Profile

Right : 40%




Karin, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant with a balanced
preference for auditory and visual inputs. Because of your "centrist"
tendencies, the distinctions between various types of brain usage are
somewhat blurred.

Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is
reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless
of your chosen field of endeavor, unless it requires total spontaneity
and ability to improvise, your weaker traits. However, you are far from
rigid or overcontrolled. You possess a degree of individuality,
perceptiveness, and trust in your intuition to function at much more
sophisticated levels than most.

Having given sufficient attention to detail, you can readily perceive
the larger aspects and implications of a situation or of learning. You
are functional and practical, but can blend abstraction and theory into
your framework readily.

The equivalence of your auditory and visual learning orientation gives
you two equally effective sensory input systems, each with distinctive
features. You can process both unidimensionally and multidimen- sionally
with equal facility. When needed, you sequence material while at other
times you "intake it all" and store it for processing later.

Your natural ability to use your senses is also synthesized in your way
of learning. You can be reflective in your approach, absorbing material
in a non-aggressive manner, and at other times voracious in seeking out
stimulation and experience.

Overall you tend to be somewhat more critical of yourself than is
necessary and avoid enjoying life too much because of a sense of duty.
You feel somewhat constrained and tend to sometimes restrict your
expressiveness. In any given situation, you will opt for the rational,
and learning of almost any type should be easy for you. You might need
certain ideas explained to you in order to fit them into your scheme of
things, but you're at least open to that!
