Pathways to left and right brain


    In reviewing the table and then looking at myself, I am more the left brain than the right brain.  I am not really that creative but I also think I pull some ideas from the right brain.  I am a very logical person I like facts and evidence to prove my ideas as there will be no issues with the decisions I make.

     When I was reviewing myself in regards to the list I chuckled to myself.  I have been on this journey of school for a long time now with some of my co-workers which I have become very close with and I am sure once they read the post they will say, “Yup that is sooo Crystal.”  It is in regards to my writing, I believe I have good knowledge of paragraphs and ideas and good flow of what I am trying to convey but my lack of technical ability lessens my ideas.  I am definitely more right brain in this matter than left brain.   This was proven when my English professor told me in front of the whole class that I was basically a “coma lover”…  He actually stated, “Crystal there will be no coma splices in your paper right.”  As embarrassing as it was…it still did not fix my coma splices.  The one good thing I have going is that in my circle of school and work friends I have at my disposal the grammar queen!  Thank you Deidra (cheesy grin)

     I like to think that I pull from both as I pull from both sides and adapt myself to the circumstances.  With further investigation into the left and right brain functions and taking a test it confirms that I am left brain dominant.  You can take the test here: http://www.intelliscript.net/test_area/questionnaire/questionnaire.cgi

Interesting to see how each side of the brain works!

  1. I did the test and scored (9)left and (8) right! I have noticed depending on what I am doing prior to taking tests or watching the spinning lady depends a lot on where my head is! Hope that makes sense!

  2. Thanks for the link. I scoreded 12 left and 4 right. I have been lovingly called anal. I remember a Theater Arts class I took many many years ago. The teacher gave us large, blank, white pieced of posterboard. He told us to draw anything. I couldn't. The only thing I draw is the typical 1st grade house with a stick family and a sun (or rain). I would have loved to make it a chart and classify the students by sex, age, hair color, etc..

  3. Great link to help me see which side of the brain I use because I am a visual person. I scored 8 on the left side and 7 on the right side. I guess I am pretty even.
