Which side are you on?

You responded as a right brained person to 3 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 16 questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use the left side or your brain the most.

Almost completely Right Brained 😀 and I'm a leftie, guess it's true that we're the only ones with the 'right mind'

You responded as a right brained person to 16 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 3 questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your right brain the most.
 
"You responded as a right brained person to 12 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 7 questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your right brain the most."

Follows with the left handed rule of thumb, and also the whole "non-verbal reasoning" thing is spot on. No wonder everyone loves psychology.

Weird I'm a lefty and ...

You responded as a right brained person to 8 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 11 questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use the left side or your brain the most.

I think a lot of those questions are somewhat subjective...I remember taking another test a few years back that had visual and logic problems on it and i came up as being right brain occipital lobe dominant or something along those lines.

I had the same breakdown, I'm right handed.

Eh, might as well be 50-50.
 
You responded as a right brained person to 13 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 6 questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your right brain the most. The summary briefly describes your dominance type.

i thought i would be more right brained... but ok.
 
You responded as a right brained person to 10 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 9 questions. You seemed to be comfortable using strategies for both sides for the brain. Your preference may be situational and apparent mainly when stress in a factor. This does not necessarily mean that you are ambidextrous. However, you are on your way to becoming whole brained and will benefit from using study strategies useful for both sides of the brain. When you read the descriptions, look for new strategies to try. However, your learning style probably has components from both sides. Some of the traits associated with the left and right side of the brain are listed in the table. Not all of the traits will apply to you.

Do you think most physicians are left brained or right brained?
Is there anyway a person could change there Hemispheric Dominance?
 
heres a different one...

i must've taken 5 of these things and they keep saying im left brained but it seems a lot of your responses can be based on just how you were raised. For instance, you naturally prefer to think you keep your room neat and such.

this one worked for me...its really neat.

can anyone see her turning counter clockwise???


my friend sent me this a while ago.
i see clock-wise but if you look to the left of the page and try to look at the dancer in your peripheral vision, you can see counter clockwise 😛

I would answer most of these questions differently at different times in my life. Also, ten years from now I will probably have different answers as I don't necessarily do things now the way I want to do them. These tests are pretty silly as is most pop psychology.

agreed...i think the whole thing might be a load of hooey.

I'm sure most of us know how dynamic the brain is and to say something like a multiple choice test can determine how your brain functions most of the time is a bit...off?

that frickin dancer still wont turn counterclockwise though. :laugh:

Agreed, they are fun though... Specially since I only have one exam left..

Pay attention to the feet and keep looking at them.
 
i got right brained for both tests!
it says most ppl are left brained. something is wrong with me...
 
hahaha im in boston too! :laugh:
too bad i want them to lose. if not to the steelers, then to the giants!
go giants!
 
i dont get it.. most of us are scientists yet according to these tests we are mostly right brained.. but math and science is controlled by the left side of the brain..

the girl keeps moving clockwise

I got 10 right, and 9 left, pretty balanced I suppose.

High five

Don't be such a party pooper. 😛 These tests are a great de-stressor to an otherwise long day.

Same here. It makes some sense 'cos I do things with both left and right hands, although I'm right-handed. I brush my teeth, beat eggs, mix, and carry my purse, grocery bags, and suitcases with my left hand. Is this test really accurate? 'cos it seems like most people are getting the same results.
 
7 right brain, 12 left brain......weird I've always been more right leaning😕
On the anaylsis I'm definitely right brained when it comes to giving people directions:laugh: I give all the stores and shops on the street, can't ever remember the street name
 
Okay, here goes.

There's not much you can really garner from being labeled "right" or "left" brained. Everyone uses both sides of their brain, thanks to the corpus callosum. While it's true that some people are left-handed, people are predominantly right-handed because lateralization is largely consistent in the brain.

Handedness is a function of lateralization of the motor strip, and as such can't be attributed to an entire side of the brain. Neither can anything else, really. Instead, things have specific cortical locations that just aren't set in stone from one person to the next. One can't really be "occipital lobe dominant" either, since it's largely unconsciously involved in visual cognition. The left and right cortices are involved in many different things, and these functions do vary from person to person, but the extent to which they vary is limited by their location. For that reason, while someone may be more aptly wired to perform linguistic or mathematical tasks, there is no reason to suggest that these features are "dominant" in any single person.

That said, there are some interesting phenomena involving lateralization that crop up every now and then. Try asking your math major friend which is his or her dominant hand. There is a striking preponderance of left-handedness among people who are good at math. This is largely due to their reinforcement and plasticity of their contralateral (opposite hemisphere).

Similarly, find out what your dominant eye happens to be. People who are right-eye dominant can read just as efficiently out of the right field of vision as out of the left. But left-eye dominant people can read slightly faster out of their left field of vision. Another lateralization doohickey.

Overall, though, I wouldn't put much credence into this test. Anyone would be hard pressed to find out what their dominant hemisphere happens to be, simply because we use so much of both. It's much more likely that plasticity in specific cortical regions becomes dominant at a nonhemispheric level. Also, it would be hard to determine even that with questions like "Are you often late to appointments?"

What side do you think this guy uses?!?!?
 
Right 13

Left 6


I am left handed btw, which means a stroke wont totally pwn me.

Its really subjective though

I always think I am going to be late, but 90% I am not. Only sometimes...ehhhhh

yes when i mentioned that the results drew attention to my occipital it was probably just the "test" reflecting i had good spatial skills or something to that effect.

Lefties being good at math? since when lol i must be an exception to the rule in that case. Actually, the fact that I've had horrible math teachers probably has more to do with it than my brain
 
It's not a rule, and that just illustrates the problem with assigning hemispheric dominance. The trick is you'll find quite a few people good at math who are left handed. Not necessarily the other way around.

Hmm...I'm opposite of the other "both-sides" people who have posted so far.
 
Chalk up another for 10 right, 9 left.

That's what I get for feeling more comfortable with a bit of clutter. I bet that if I were a neatnik it would wind up tilting heavily to the left. Sweet to think that preferring a bit of disorganization here and there makes me "balanced".

i'm almost whole brained! :hardy:
 
Everyone seems to be getting 9 right and 10 left or vice versa. Am I the only " 3 Right, 16 left" brained freako here? jeez 🙂
