(no subject)

I drove from Tampa to St Pete this evening, just before sunset. It was cloudy and foggy and as I started on the 2-3 mile bridge over the bay, the St Pete peninsula was completely hidden from view.

It looked as if I was driving straight into the sea.

From meran555, This Left/Right brained test.

Auditory:64% Visual:35% Left:57% Right:42%


Peter, you are mildly left-hemisphere dominant while showing a slight preference for auditory processing. This overall combination seems to indicate a well-working blend of logic and judgment and organization, with sufficient intuition, perception and creativity to balance that dominance.

You will at times experience conflict between how you feel and what you think which will generally be resolved in favor of what you think. You will find yourself interested in the practical applications of whatever material you have learned or whatever situation you face and will retain the ability to refine whatever knowledge you possess or aspects of whatever position you are in.

By and large, you will orient yourself toward intellectual activities and structure. Though not rigid, you will schedule yourself, plan, and focus on routine and continuity of operations, rather than on changes and disruptions

When changes or disruptions occur, you are likely to consider first how to ensure that such disruptions do The same balance is reflected in your sensory preference. You will tend to be reflective and measured in your interaction style. For the most part, you will be considered objective without being cold and goal-oriented while retaining the capacity to listen to others.

Preferentially you learn by listening and maintaining significant internal dialogues with yourself. Nevertheless, you have sufficient visualization capabilities to benefit from using graphs, charts, doodles, or even body movement to enhance your comprehension and memory.

To the extent that you are even implicitly aware of your hemispheric dominance and sensory style, you will feel most comfortable in those arenas which emphasize verbal skills and logic. Teaching, law, and science are those that stand out among the professions, along with technical sales and management.

overanalysis:
I dunno. Parts ring very true, but I think I'm a lot more visual than they gave me credit for. The focus on routine is dead wrong -- I have certain rituals I like, but generally my work and personal life is paradoxical and chaotic, and I thrive on that. Plus, I'm more engineering oriented than science.

On the other hand, the engineer in me loves taking apart these tests as I take them, so I'm never sure what is accurate, and what is me tinkering with answers to see what comes out. A professional psychiatrist after seeing one of my tests would probably be slowly reaching for the jacket with the long, long sleeves ;)
