(16)I am constantly struggling between my two selves – the whimsical, playful, artist and the oh-so logical, organizing, information junkie, flow-chart loving geek. There’s a constant dialogue going on in my head: Artist: Stop being so logical & literal.” Geek: “But will they understand it? Will it make sense to them?” I’m sure you’ve noticed how structured my work is.
Another way to look at it is I guess you could say I’m really well-balanced. Do I need to be one or the other? I’ve done pretty well being both, so I would say the answer is no, I don’t have to choose. Or play favorites. I just wish those 2 inner voices would stop vying for power and take turns nicely.
And no, I’m not spending my record-setting-DC-blizzard- afternoon taking silly quizzes on the internet. I was doing some scientific research on left/right brain. But who can resist a quiz? Can you? Which one are you? Anyone out there as well balanced as I am?
PS More New Zealand photos & stories still to come.
UPDATE: So many people wrote to me saying they had the same score, so I took it again and purposely skewed it to try and come out left-brained. And I got the same answer! The test is either bogus or broken. So this time went in search of other tests on purpose and found one that seems accurate.
Thank you for taking the Creativity Test. The results show your brain dominance as being:
| 57% | 43% |
I’ll take that answer. I’m still pretty close and I know some days I’m even closer, or I take turns being one or the other. If you’re game, you can take the better test here . Â
Mine was the exact same as yours, is it accurate or does it always come up 16 in both sides. Too funny but so often your blog sounds like my life and the way I think.
Mine came up 0% left brain, 1% right brain. That’s because there didn’t seem to be any way to actually take the test – the better one, I mean. I tried clicking on everything and nothing took me to the test. But I enjoyed this post anyway. Glad to know how balanced you are!
Oh Lordy. Mine is the exact same as yours and Peggy McD – 16 each. If I wasn’t so tired from wading through deep snow to feed horses, sheep and barn cats I’d, probably, be concerned.
.smile.
So I actually figured out how to take the test and it came out 37% Left Brain, 63% Right Brain. Anything below 30% or above 50% is considered not so good. According to the test, I don’t function so well because I am tooooo right brained. Hmmmmm, so that’s why!
I tried the first test and got the same score – 16 & 16. This is not a scientific test, that is obvious. I took a real test for the same thing several years ago, and the highest possible score was 14. I was 13 out of 14 right-brained. That seemed to me to be just what I am – I just think that way. But being right brained has been so helpful to me in so many ways, it is definitely a more creative and insightful way to live one’s life! So hurray for all the right brained people in the world!
I haven’t taken the test yet but I can tell you now that I am definitely a right brained person! I like science but math scares me to death. My husband on the other hand is so left brained if frightening; he sees everything as logical, analytical, and explainable through science. I guess we are a good pair than. I loved your New Zealand pictures, can’t wait to see more. Have a Happy Valentine’s Day.
Right brained? Harebrained more like….45% 55% in favour of right brained with a specific 67% in concrete. Would that have helped in formal education I wonder? Not unless the teacher is hugely skilled in understanding students particular abilities. Interesting though eh?
