Brain Malfunction
I spotted this on a number of blogs including: Practical Penumbra, SilverBlue and Dusting My Brain. You can try it yourself here. My comments should be in italics.
Auditory : 41%
Visual : 58%
Left : 27%
Right : 72%
That means 1% of my brain is neither left, nor right, it can't see and it can't hear either. In that case, how do you know it is there?
Ozguru, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight [wow a 1/3 to 2/3 split is only '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.
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 [is that meant to be a rude word or a typo?] 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." [Those little voices of course are a really bad sign. Watch me in case I start talking to trees.]
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. [Including my boss and a certain blogger that I upset recently.] 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. [Woah. Where did that creativity come from. I'm sure it isn't mine.]
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 [You mean the ones I scribble or doodle in my notes?] which enhance and elaborate on the meaning.
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. [Ahhhh. You mean I should have been listening for the last umteen years instead of just looking....]
