brain test too

I found this on Valerie's blog this morning...and had to play. I was surprised at how spot on the answers were!

I have my own comments in italics below:

cyndy, your hemispheric dominance is equally divided between left and right brain, while you show a moderate preference for auditory versus visual learning, signs of a balanced and flexible person.

well, thank you...(?)I think...

Your balance gives you the enviable capacity to be verbal and literate while retaining a certain "flair" and individuality. You are logical and compliant but only to a degree. You are organized without being compulsive, goal-directed without being driven, and a "thinking" individual without being excessively so.

Thank goodness for that, (why do I feel like the other shoe is about to fall....)

The one problem you might have is that your learning might not be as efficient as you would like. At times you will work from the specific to the general, while at other times you'll work from the general to the specific. Sometimes you will be logical in your approach while at other times random. Since you cannot always control the choice, you may experience frustrations not normally felt by persons with a more defined and directed learning style.

Wait a minute, you mean I'm not in control of that??? I thought I was in control of that...does this mean I'm a controlling person with a controlling personality????

You may also minimally experience conflicts associated with auditory processing. You will be systematic and sequential in your processing of information, you will most often focus on a single dimension of the problem or material, and you will be more reflective, i.e., "taking the data in" as opposed to "devouring" it.

Ahem, pardon me...but I LIKE "taking the data in and processing it...and being reflective"...I don't experience any conflicts here...um ...do I???

Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself - and of others - while maintaining an "openness" which is redeeming. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity is not in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, the more obvious and the more functional.

I can't make up my mind if this is right or not...I'm still sitting at the base of that fig tree....now excuse me whilst I go make something functional for myself...

Okay, this is weird because my test result was EXACTLY the same as yours!!! Seriously. 56% auditory, 43% visual; 47% left, 52% right, the exact same narrative as yours.

Are you my long lost twin?!?!?

Valerie said...

You know, that write up sounds kind of mean and insulting. "You should feel content"...and then "your creativity is not in keeping with your potential"???? Based on what?

I thought mine was just funny....but this one...

BTW...I think systematic and sequential are highly desirable. And reflective is something we are sadly lacking these days.

YAY for hellebore! I bought some lily bulbs today....now to get them into the ground.

Ok, so it wasn't just me then!

I was beginning to think it should add that I didn't take well to being analyzed!

Oh Cyndy, I think you are just perfect. Don't worry about some ole survey/test.

There are some things I just don't want to know....

Well, considering that they are probably just trying to sell their product, who cares. :)
