Nifty test
I got this test from Kim. Pretty accurate.
Your Brain Usage Profile
Auditory : 31%
Visual : 68%
Left : 44%
Right : 55%
Dawn, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing.
Since neither of these is completely centered, you lack the indecision and second-guessing associated with other patterns. You have a distinct preference for creativity and intuition with seemingly sufficient verbal skills to be able to translate in any meaningful way to yourself and others. Hmmm. Sounds about right.
You tend to see things in “wholes” without surrendering the ability to attend to details. You can give them sufficient notice to be able to utitlize and incorporate them as part of an overall pattern.
In the same way, while you are active and process information simultaneously, you demonstrate a capacity for sequencing as well as reflection which allows for some “inner dialogue.”
All in all, you are likely to be quite content with yourself and your style although at times it will not necessarily be appreciated by others. You have sufficient confidence to not second-guess yourself, but rather to use your critical faculties in a way that enhances, rather than limits, your creativity. Ha! I do rather like myself.
You can learn in either mode although far more efficiently within the visual mode. It is likely that in listening to conversations or lecture materials you simultaneously translate into pictures which enhance and elaborate on the meaning. Yup, this is true. I’m always telling Sheri that I need a diagram when she’s telling me about stuff; it’s how I hear things. I also “see” words. When I’m working on an essay, I see it as a whole with colors and a pattern. It makes it very hard to give a useful critique because it’s difficult for me to translate the “space” I see as having to do with verb usage or the “colors” I see as having to do with sentence structure. I can see what works and what doesn’t and I can fix it but I can’t always explain it to someone else.
It is most likely that you will gravitate towards those endeavors which are predominantly visual but include some logic or structuring. You may either work particularly hard at cultivating your auditory skills or risk “missing out” on being able to efficiently process what you learn. Your own intuitive skills will at times interfere with your capacity to listen to others, which is something else you may need to take into account. I am not at all into visual endeavors; that part’s a little weird. Maybe I’ve translated this to writing because as I’ve already said, I see what I’m writing in a very concrete sense. I do have problems listening and I’ve been working on that. I can figure out what someone is trying to say before they’re finished saying it and I have a very very very hard time not interrupting.
