1. There is no such thing as "Right Brain vs Left Brain." |
|
It's neurological nonsense.

9. And that's a great example why. |
|
Because "tests" like this are used to attack others - implying that by not being "right-brained" enough, they are inferior, hard-headed, too cold and logical, or whatever other insult you want to imply.

I get a laugh when I read FB and see some people post of picture of what they're doing when they want to "indulge my creative side." I and most of my friends who work in creative fields look at that and go, "I wish my creative side would indulge ME with a life."

18. The persecuted left brainers, huh? Hmmmm. |
|
Are you sure we don't live in a society that worships the material? Are you sure we don't live in a society of rational, minimalist boxy architecture and audacious, uncreative churches where the parables and commandments are dry and used only to induce order? Are you sure we don't live in a society obsessed with time and increasingly smaller increments thereof? Are you sure we aren't cutting art and music out of our schools? Are we not a society that rejects and attempts to subdue nature and chaos at every turn embracing the Erisian Illusion that we live in an ordered universe?
Please. Just because there are many dull left-brains out there does not undo the fact that we exist surrounded by the left-brain archetype.

28. I never claimed persecution, so don't even go there. |
|
You flung a hypothetical score that was clearly intended as an insult to me. Your response here is nothing but a series of red herrings that I am not interested in addressing.

29. It's not an insult. It's like being a virgo and not believing in astrology. |

Yours is as legitimate a perspective as any.

Thank you for taking the Creativity Test. The results show your brain dominance as being:
Left Brain Right Brain 46% 54%
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.
Your Left Brain Percentages 60% Reality-based (Your most dominant characteristic) 42% Symbolic 40% Verbal 27% Sequential 6% Linear 0% Logical (Your least dominant characteristic)
Your Right Brain Percentages 43% Intuitive (Your most dominant characteristic) 34% Random 32% Fantasy-oriented 19% Concrete 19% Nonverbal 18% Holistic (Your least dominant characteristic)
All I've got to say is :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

But it's still pretty bunk. Not liking math, for example, isn't the same thing as being good at math.
The ability to watch tv, listen to music, and study doesn't mean you're creative. It means you're a dope fiend.

Left Right 41% 59%
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 complete evaluation follows below: New Contests
Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows:
Your Left Brain Percentages 34% Symbolic (Your most dominant characteristic) 30% Logical 20% Verbal 18% Sequential 16% Linear 14% Reality-based (Your least dominant characteristic)
Your Right Brain Percentages 64% Concrete (Your most dominant characteristic) 57% Nonverbal 29% Intuitive 29% Fantasy-oriented 12% Holistic 6% Random (Your least dominant characteristic)

Left Brain 57%
Right Brain 43%
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 Percentages
44% Sequential (Your most dominant characteristic)
43% Linear
40% Verbal
25% Logical
17% Symbolic
0% Reality-based (Your least dominant characteristic)
Your Right Brain Percentages

29% Fantasy-oriented
24% Holistic
19% Concrete
19% Nonverbal

Yeah, that's about right. As a draftsman, I draw for a living, but it's all technical drawings. I think visually most of the time (concrete) and don't have a problem figuring out a 3D representation of something, given enough information initially.
I didn't care for the two questions that said you had thought of being one of the four professions, as they were just too general. So, I'd guess I skewed the results some with my answers of "rarely". I consider myself a writer but not a poet. Completely different from each other, but would guess they lumped the two together because both are about writing.
It would have been interesting if they'd been able to take into consideration, too, the number of times I changed my answers! ;)

Almost 50-50, just slightly left brained.
"a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge"
My entire life has been the total opposite of that.
No offense to anyone that does this kind of stuff, but I'd enjoy killing myself just to escape the boredom of doing any of those things. There's just no way.
*sigh*...I better call and cancel the gig tomorrow so I can apply to law school.
