The "Humanities or Science/Maths" people; Right/Left Brained

<p>Kaznack, I got the same percentages for the first one and the same result for the second one. Logic was also my lowest (with a 9%--haha).</p>

<p>left 46, right 54. On the dancer thing, I see it clockwise first. Then I look at it from the side of my eyes and I can get it to change directions. Changing the direction gets easier each time I do it.
I have a question though. How can I be 14% verbal and 19% nonverbal? Does it mean that no one gets me? Am I alone in this black shell of nothingness? Should I be wearing paperclips, chains and emo pants wherever I go?</p>

<p>I forgot to post my own on specifics: going on with the first link, it's 54% left brained and 46% right brained; but some questions were kinda awkward and I was hesitant to pick a firm choice...so I'm sure a more thorough google search would have some more accurate tests. But a 54:46 ratio isn't that inaccurate for me, I guess.</p>

<p>^I hate that about some tests where you try to manipulate your answer based on how you think the test will evaluate you based on your own preconceived notions.</p>

<p>Mental Process: "Okay so if I click rarely, they will most definitely categorize me as right-brained, which I'm sure that I'm not, but this is a bit true...hmm"</p>

<p>i was 57% right, 43% left. i can only see the dancer going clockwise and can't make it change.
though i am very logic oriented (36%). i agree with the test, especially how it describes how i remember things (visually, and i try and make strange connections).</p>

<p>@ Sungchul, I also got 9% on logic, as my lowest. Are you sure we're not ethnically different twins separated from birth?</p>

<p>According to the first link's quiz, I'm 43% left-brained and 57% right-brained (interestingly enough, the analysis it provides describing my left vs. right brain processes often seem to contadict itself :/) On a different right-brain vs. left-brain test, I was exactly 50-50. hmmm... (Oh, and for the last link, I saw the dancer move in a counter-clockwise direction.)</p>

<p>1st Link- 57% right, 43% left.
2nd Link- Left brained. (7-Right, 11-Left).
Last link- Right, Clockwise. I can't even begin to make it go the other way. </p>

<p>I guess it depends on the test. I used to excel in math and science, now history is more my thing.</p>

<p>I think that link with the dancer is ********: I could only see it clockwise last night and today I can only see it counterclockwise. I think it's a trick.</p>

<p>52% Left and 48% right.</p>

<p>61% left, 39% right. </p>

<p>But I know that that dancer (before trying to change it's direction) is moving clock wise.</p>

<p>59% right, 41% left.</p>

<p>Not a surprise really.</p>

<p>51% left, 49% right </p>

<p>While we're on this subject, I'd like to talk about multiple intelligence. Everyone had to take one of those tests at the beginning of the year. Honestly, it's BS. They're too many "do you like" questions. If it truly assessed intelligence, it would measure ability and not what you might like better. Many people are better at what they enjoy more, but not always.</p>

<p>The dancer is moving in both directions.</p>

<p>The first link gives me 70% right and 30% left and the second link gives me 16 right to 2 left; this seems fairly consistent. However in the last link I see the dancer spinning clockwise, but when I look away she spins anticlockwise for a little bit at which point I blink and the dancer goes back to spinning clockwise. Weird.</p>

<p>At the same time though math is my favorite subjects, this doesn't seem normal? I particularly enjoy geometries (plural), probability, and some bits knot theory that came up. It seems that math is a traditionally left brained field, so are these tests bunk or are certain areas of math well suited for the right brain too?</p>

<p>haha, i've learned to make her turn different ways (though i still have trouble getting her to go back for a little while). </p>

<p>something else that i think is kind of cool to do is to scroll down so that you only see below her waist, and then always look at her so that the leg is swinging to you. it' impossible, but it kinds of messes with your head and made me kind of dizzy.</p>

<p>^for many advanced mathematics (like REALLY advanced mathematics), you have to be insanely creative. i don't know if those people are left brained or right brained, but the left usually has to do with creativity.</p>

<p>^
I think the point is that they're both.</p>

<p>weird! so when i first looked at the dancer it was clockwise, but then i was reading and saw it out the corner of my eye and it was counterclockwise. when i concentrate on it, i cant switch it but it i look away and then glance at it, it changes..... how bizzare</p>

<p>67% right, 33% left.</p>

<p>I've done the cancer thing before, and it took me hours before I could get it to turn counter-clockwise. I still have to cheat and cover up everything but the foot and the shadow so I can get "in the zone." It seems like my left hemisphere isn't nearly as developed.</p>

<p>Uh, according to the test, I'm 60% right, 40% left. But I'm definitely a LOT better at math and science than humanities (my SAT Math score is 140 points higher than my CR).</p>

<p>I got 70% right, 30% left. I agree wholeheartedly.</p>

<p>And try as I might, I can't get the dancer to move counterclockwise.</p>
