senoritafish | brain and brain, what is brain?

DP passed around this quiz yesterday, and graphed out the results of people who took it. I took it at lunch yesterday. Pretty interesting - it provided explanations for all the possible answers as to why they fit right/left/visual/auditory types. It turns out that in my project, plus a few other women here who took it, I was the only person over on the right side of the diagram. Not a big surprise, I suppose. I always thought I was a right-brained person in a left-brained job. Everyone thought the last paragraph of the description was especially apt. I'm a little embarrassed, 'cause it really is true.*

I think the latest issue of National Geographic had an article on brain function, which said the characterization of the right half of the brain=creative and left=logical may be falling out favor these days - ie: the personality types may hold true, but are not necessarily centered in those parts of the brain (I think - I only skimmed the article while I was on the toilet and may not have read it correctly).

I underlined what I thought fits and italicized what seems out of character for me. I will note that I could have gone with several answers on a few of the questions.

Left Brain - 34.8%
Right Brain - 65.2%
Auditory - 53.6%
Visual - 46.7%

Leeanne, you are strongly right-hemisphere dominant with balanced preference for auditory and visual modes of processing, a very effective mix for creativity and spontaneity while being amenable to direction and focus.

With this combination you are likely a very impatient learner. On the one hand, you deal with large abstractions while you must frequently reduce your processing to one dimensional channels. Fortunately, you also have the attributes of a visual learner so that simultaneous processing is also available to you.

In a similar vein, your right hemisphere gives you an abstract orientation that you are able to link to the organizational and sequential resources of the auditory learner.

You are more passionate than most and have the capacity to be very persuasive. You can detect a great deal by listening to others and this, combined with your intuitive capabilities, would tend to make you an excellent friend.

You are less reflective about yourself or your motivations, unless forced to be. Your tendency is to respond simultaneously to people and a void a need to have expectations or demands.

Overall, your organization and planning are flexible, and you are successful in "winging it" with sufficient verbal sophistication to blend with your spontaneity and creativity. You will experience discomfort only when situations become too organized or rigid and find yourself wanting to either flee or challenge them.

You may be disorganized with piles of stuff laying everywhere. Unlike the more visually oriented person, however, you have a hard time relocating whatever you place unless you verbally state to yourself where you are putting something and then remind yourself what you are looking for when you go to retrieve it.

This appears to be the same test.

*Although not too embarrassed, I suppose, or my desk would be completely clean and no one would ever know - this would be my deep dark secret. Or I could parry by asking slyly, "If cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, what is meant by an empty desk?" ;)
