Right Brain? Left Brain?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm extremely right-brained, and I found that a little odd because i figured that most aspies would be left-brained, because we like order and such. let me know what you think.

(if you didn't know, left-brain is logical and right-brain is creative)

Right brained. I have about as much logic and organisation as a toothpick. I'm extremely creative and can't understand how some people can just be so damn boring.

I'm an artist and my life is constant chaos.

*sigh* I'm pretty convinced that I am right-brain damaged...I wish I could get my right brain to work. The thing is even if I have NLD, my heart still lies in creative fields. I was rather upset after reading the smptoms of NLD, which fortells that I will never be a great artist.

PS: Don't worry, I didn't vote in the poll, since this is an Aspergers thing and I have NLD so if I voted I might affect the scores.

This last test I took at http://www.testcafe.com/lbrb/lbrbfree.cgi says I'm slightly more right brained than left brained, but I'd say I'm pretty much balance brained. If an IQ test is any indication, I should be much more left brained than right brained (verbal IQ 135, performance IQ 94). I'm left handed, right footed, right eyed, and left eared (maybe). I'm also very creative, which runs against the left-brained theory.

Who knows.

I had no idea, so I took the test link in neant humain's post - apparently I am slightly more left than right brained.

Well, first off, I'm left handed. I do most sports like a righty - baseball, hockey, golf. But I write (poorly), throw a ball and play darts with my left.
So my brain is a bit twisted.

You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the "whole" picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge.

About equal, as I thought. But I'd though I'd be more left-brained.

I am pretty well balanced. I took the test posted here and got this:

Your percentage score for the left brain is 30%.
Your percentage score for the right brain is 25%.

I also recently took a different test, which is http://www.mindmedia.com/brainworks/profiler. I like this test better because it's less subjective. You don't analyze yourself, it analyzes you by the way you answer the questions.

On that test, I got this:

Auditory : 23%
Visual : 76%
Left : 38%
Right : 61%

I'm 27% left and 25% right. I was actually expecting myself to be more right brained.

My brain processes are:

21.4% Auditory
78.6% Visual
70.8% Left Brain
29.2% Right Brain

I am a logical / visual thinker.

(I am also very creative although I don't know how that fits in with the above!)

My scores-
Your percentage score for the right brain is 37%.
Your percentage score for the left brain is 25%.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Auditory : 44%
Visual : 55%
Left : 45%
Right : 55%
Thanks for the links guys, it's all interesting.

Civet -
I liked this test, too. I emailed the link to a few people and we are all wondering why we are missing 1% - is this our percentage of dead gray matter?

My score was:

Auditory 66%
Visual 33%
Left 52%
Right 47%

Let me know what you think happened to that 1% of brain power

Monastic ~ Your results seem to be rounded down to the nearest whole.

Auditory : 37%
Visual : 62%
Left : 42%
Right : 57%

Some of the questions didn't make sense to me since the given answers didn't match up with my thoughts.

And for somereason, my number don't add up to 100% either

Scoots ~ The decimal place is not included so you won't know exactly but you will have scored something like '42.2%' & '57.8%'.
