Left+or+Right?

Hi! You clicked over here to share your results to the online left or right brain quiz: L or R

Now click on the discussion tab (it is a little speech bubble) and create a new post (+ post) with your name as the title. Then in the body of the post write a paragraph explaining why you agree or disagree with the quiz's result for you. Why do you think it gave you the result it did? What does this tell you about yout?

You can also answer the questions manually and score yourself. See below.

1 When you walk into a theater, classroom, or auditorium (and assuming that there are no other influential factors), which side do you prefer? right = R left = L

2 When taking a test, which style of questions do you prefer? L= objective (true/false, multiple choice, matching) R = subjective (discussion)

3 Do you often have hunches? R= yes L= No

4 When you have hunches, do you follow them? R = Yes L = No

5 Do you have a place for everything and keep everything in its place? R = No L = Yes

6 When you are learning a dance step, is it easier for you to: R = learn by imitation the teacher and getting the feel of the music? L = learn the sequence of movements and talk your way through the steps?

7 Do you like to move your furniture several times a year, or do you prefer to keep the same arrangement? L = keep R = Move

8 Can you tell approximately how much time passed without a watch? L = yes R = No

9 Speaking in strictly relative terms, is it easier for you to understand L = algebra? R = geometry?

10 Is it easier for you to remember people's names or to remember people's faces? L = Names R = faces

1111When given the topic "school", would you prefer to express your feelings through drawings or writing? R = drawing L = writing

12 When someone is talking to you, do you respond to the word meaning, or do you respond to the person's word pitch and feelings? L = word meaning (what is said) R = word pitch and feeling (how it is said)

13 When speaking, do you use few gestures, or do you use many gestures (that is, do you use your hands when you talk)? L = few gestures ( very seldom use hands when you talk) R = many gestures (often use hands when you talk)

14 Your desk or where you work is L = neat and organized R = cluttered with stuff that you might need.

15 Is it easier for you to read for main ideas or to read for specific details? R = main ideas L = specific details

16 Do you do your best thinking sitting erect or lying down? L = sitting erect R = lying down

17 Do you feel more comfortable saying/doing humorous things or saying/doing well-reasoned things? R = humorous things L = well-reasoned things

18 In math L = you can explain how you got the answer. R = you can get the answer but cannot explain how.

19 Did you notice the 1111 ? L = not significant R= significant

20 Everything happens for an reason? L = of course everything happens for a reason simple cause and effect R = intelligence is part of the cause and everything happens for an intelligent reason, there are no accidents in the universe that fact that you are reading these words is no coincidence.

21 Insight and Synchronicity L = Linear logical thinking and do not notice much synchronicity R= Experience insight not using a linear thought process to obtain it, notice synchronicity

22 Dreaming L = Do not dream or recall dreaming R= Lucid Dream and good recall

All these questions are somewhat subjective. Total your R s then subtract it from 22 question if the remainder is less than eleven you are right brain dominant. The smaller the remainder the higher the degree of right brain dominance. The online test returns a lot more interesting analysis.

The ultimate situation is not to have one dominant hemisphere but rather a whole brain, a golden brain a balanced brain. A cognitively enhanced brain. People that have a balanced brain might tend to choose both answers.
