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

<p>I am a strange duck..one of my parents is very analytical/english, the other very memorization/science...i think i have the best of both worlds.</p>

<p>Like, I personally like reading a whole lot and regularly read tons of classics on my own, but I can just as easily like science classes...</p>

<p>44% left, 56% right. I guess that makes sense, since I've immersed myself in music for the past 10 years of my life.</p>

<p>Wait, so is right supposed to be "humanities" and left is "science/math"? That doesn't make much sense for me, since I'm a lot better at science than I am at history and English.</p>

<p>50% left, 51% right
but i suck at art. and i'm tone deaf. go figure
haha but i kind of expected it. Honestly, i have the hardest time choosing classes because everything looks so appealing. I have friends who hate either math or english, but i can't really relate to them</p>

Not necessarily.</p>

detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science

safe</p>

<p>RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented

...much more than a simple categorization of an academic area. Either way, this is a tendency, and a couple tests are too simple for a full-accurate explanation of a brain anyways..</p>

<p>55% left brain 45% right brain but like some of you the, dancer thing contradicts my results. I see it going clockwise most of the time. I was able to make it go counter clockwise but after i clicked to this tab and back it went back to going clockwise. It's probably just one aspect characterizing the right brain that I probably have while being mostly left brain dominant.</p>

<p>Based on the categories, I would definitely consider myself left-brained...</p>

<p>The dancer is because her upper body turns at a different speed than her lower body, so it's her head that determines whether she's turning clockwise or counterclockwise, not her legs.</p>

<p>im confused. the tests consistently show me as dominantly left brained. yet, i hate math and science but love english/ history/ philosophy. the latter also tend to be my better subjects. im heavily involved in art and film. all my school reports say im very creative. ???.</p>

<p>Haha I got 50% left, 51% right. That makes no sense. I got 74% verbal, that was my highest. I'm better at math/science yet it tells me that I hate math oriented thinking.
Oh and the dancer moves both ways, and I saw it by watching her head as well.</p>

<p>^Maybe it really came out to 49.5%/50.5%, but it rounded up both numbers.</p>

<p>LOL. either way, the tests aren't completely accurate...as we've figured out.</p>

<p>but usually it has a strong correlation.</p>

<p>For the dancer, it really depends on what you're doing.</p>

<p>It'll go counter-clockwise if you're doing something that involves critical thinking or logic.</p>

<p>I always thought I was right brained but the test said I'm
left 59% and right 41%</p>

<p>I can make the dancer go either way :) but I see her going clockwise first(so right minded...). Whatever, I still prefer math and science to english and history :p</p>

<p>I saw her go counter-clockwise first, but then I took the test on the first link (which is flawed like crazy) and it said I was 52% right brained. I switched tabs to the dancer and she turned clockwise.</p>

<p>I can't change the directions via concentration. It's weird.</p>

<p>43 left, 57 right
(Apparently I'm neither verbal nor nonverbal...?)</p>

<p>I can make the dancer look like it's moving from side to side instead of in a circle :)</p>

I don't think I was able to the first time, either. As you keep trying and looking at different parts of her, body, it'll...catch on.</p>

<p>"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>yeah, i got 14 and 19 too for verbal and nonverbal, which i couldnt rly figure out either, and for my two most dominant it says 42 for logical and 46 for concrete...doesnt make sense</p>

Indeed, I've spent an hour a day (intermittently) everyday on these forums and it's actually almost 2 months...</p>

<p>But it's summer. And I spend a lot of time on the computer, I don't know about you. And if you look at the quality of my posts, which seem to be mostly 1 or 2 lines, and considering that each post of mine takes literally less than 10 seconds, it isn't a very difficult feat. I'm also a really fast typer, if that does anything.</p>

<p>So it's perfectly healthy. An hour a day devotion to a website doesn't mean anything.</p>

<p>Haha, I'm 5% logical. That's so accurate, it's funny. I'm apparently 39% left and 61% right. Seems accurate too. I used to be really into, and really good at math and science. But now I'm worse at them. Probably because they got harder and I'm still lazy :p</p>
