Right Brain Thinker - Left Brain Thinker

Wow, a photographic memory...that would be awesome. I'm a bit that way too, remembering the whole thing but you sound much more gooder than me. English is my besterest subject too. (feeling silly, I is).

I managed a total recall like that once, but it was only once. I can't remember how old I was, but my mother asked me a question about something that I had read, and I found that I could see the page in my mind and read off the information that she wanted. That was the only time that I've been able to do that though.

It's a shame you were not able to develop the talent like our hatley. It must be a great skill tom have.

Yes I have always been this way and many people find it an annoying trait in me!. What is perhaps strange both my husbands were very definitely right brain thinkers and need my lefty traits to keep them down to earth and in the real world!

Why are we not taught this sort of thing at school so that we can focus on the things we are good at and also learn to be able to get along? (That's both my left and right brain at work LOL) The good thing is, your analytical mind knows why you aggravate people so you can use your powers to your advantage. In light of your marriages, I hope that they got you to come out and play sometimes...I love balance, don't you?

Wow, a definite lefty in our midst. There are not so many of you here.

Yes of course...everyone uses both left and right sides to think...it's the degree that matters.

Hi Calliban. Yeah, me too. I was responding to a member about hobbies and she didn't know about right and left brain so I thought....hmmm....and here we are.

Sadly Calliban, I'm not one more than the other...just slightly right brain dominant. I guess that means that I will never excel at anything.

:) So, and if I may ask: are you a left brain person or a right brain person? :P

Hi Thea, that's a shame...try Googling "right brain left brain". If the top option is from the Sun herald, that's the first quiz and the next one is the second one. Sorry you could not access the links. Yep, sounds like you are right brain. Musical and artistic versus logic and analysis....basically. Does this sound like you?

We ALL use both sides of our brain.

Hi Liz. That's a pretty indicative score for being a left brain thinker. Let me say though that we ALL use BOTH sides of our brain and being right or left handed has nothing to do with how we think. However, it is found that left handed people are mostly right brain dominant. The same thing happened to me with the dancer...I could not make her go the other way no matter how I tried. Later, I was standing up and I glanced down at the screen and there she was, turning the other way....all the time. I sat down and she was still going the other way but changed all of a sudden. How weird this test is. Do me a favour and try again, look at her from a different angle and let me know what happens.

i still tend to think of myself as more of a right-brainer...which as i said, makes sense since i am left handed and all, maybe i just was ovr thinking when i answered the questions! But as for the dancer, yes, i did go back and look at her agian (even before i got your message imploring me to do so) and i found that if i concentrated on looking at her feet and the shadow below her for a few seconds, i could finaly fee her twirling the other way...for a little while anyways, though eventually she would go back to rotating clockwise until i concentrated on her feet again.

oh...and i am left handed......so that would make the dancer one probably more correct than answring the questions...

yup do Guess thats why I guess I use my left hand almost as much as the right one!

So you use both sides of your brain nearly equally, with a little bit of right brain dominance.

Did you do the quiz as well? If she goes both ways that means you use both sides of your brain with no significant dominance in either left or right brain thinking.

So, slick...what sorta nut are ya???

Thanks for participating.

Well of course they are zed...what else could they be? LOL. It is said that left handed people are usually right brain dominant.

I was hoping to be a little more of one than the other but I'm almost equal...leaving me weaving down the middle of the road. I wonder if this is where my indecisiveness comes from?

Yeah, me too!

Hi catdla . Actually, whether you are left or right handed has no bearing on it. It's the way you think. I've always know about left and right brain tendencies and been interested...just thought it would make an interesting discussion for everyone. I got the idea from another discussion I responded to.

I've always heard that left-handers have more developed right-side of brains, and vica versa for right-handers. That's why I thought it was interesting that my scores were pretty even, and I use both hands.

Soory...you are not weird. It just means that you use both sides of your brain fairly equally.

Hi artistry...how I would love to be an artist and a writer...but I AM a Libran. It's my birthday on the 4th...when is yours? I think that is why I always feel so confused and sometimes indecisive.

I'm happy to be of help to you nanna..

Aww have a go bunny...it's actually quite interesting and a little bit of fun. And yes, you can be a little bit of both...in fact you definitely DO use both sides of your brain to think but one side is always dominant...like if you are a mathematician, you are more inclined to use your left brain. If you are artistic or musical, you are more dominant probably on your right side.

Yes, we all use both sides of our brain, the interesting point is, which side is domininant. A lot of people have been almost equal with a slight right side dominant. There have only been a few responders who tip the scale and they are very definitely left brain thinkers.

Welcome to myLot...yes, you are sooo right. A person who has faith in themselves and believes in themselves and the abilities can do anything they can set their mind to. I think it is safe to say that it is pretty accurate. If you based the questions on a right brain perspective like painting for example we would probably get a different outcome. I think the questions asked in this quiz are a great leveller.

Happy to be of help...why not try the test on your hubby and see which side of his brain he thinks with....

Hello and welcome to myLot. I wish I had studied psychology, I've always been interested. What do you plan to do when you finish your studies?
