Both sides of my brain are dominant. No, this is not the same as neither side being dominant, or a balance between the sides; both hemispheres of my brain seek to be dominant, and it is a struggle to keep them balanced (insofar as I am able to); it is an unstable arrangement, both creative and logical but bordering on madness. My mind is the place where two storm fronts come together and tornados ensue.
I have some limited ability to consciously tilt the dominance in either direction, to control the intermix ratio so to speak. People who have interacted with me more than a little might have heard me say things like, "You are now talking to Icarus's left brain." if I'm trying to approach something with pure logic and complete emotional detachment. Much more rarely I try to communicate entirely from the right side of my brain, but that part of me is very chaotic and erratic; it is not a part of myself that I share readily.
I can run through the colour test either reading the word or saying the colour very quickly and with no difficulty; I can also read the word and then say the colour or visa versa with slightly more effort to balance; when I do that, I can almost literally feel either side of my brain clicking into play, similarly to how one might look at something with either eye closing one and opening the other.
Good fortune,
- Icarus is ambidextrous...
