Poll question: Quiz: Right Brained or Left Brained?
http://www.testcafe.com/lbrb/lbrb.html

Left Brain
* Linear
* Sequential
* Symbolic
* Logical
* Verbal
* Reality-based

Right Brain
* Holistic
* Random
* Concrete
* Intuitive
* Nonverbal
* Fantasy-oriente

Me (barely- 29% right brain, 27% left brain)
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.

If you already know and don't feel like taking some lame quiz, you can still vote. :D

2. Hm. Interesting...
I actually took the test, and it gave me:

42% right brain
24% left brain

Every other one of these tests I've taken has put me way over in the left brain. I guess I've changed a lot mentally in the last two years.

14. left brain
Your percentage score for the left brain is 43%.
Your percentage score for the right brain is 28%.

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.

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