My friend suggested I put this up on WP to see if Aspie's dominate one side of the brain. This is in two parts. If you're stuck between two answers, pick the one you feel describes you more, or occurs more often. It will be handy to record the answers on a piece of paper or a Word Document as you go.
Part 1

a. Tense and worried
b. Relaxed and easy going
2) When you listen to music, you are more award of
a. The beat (drums and bass)
b. The Melody (lyrics and guitar)
3) You prefer learning by
a. Listening to lectures and taking notes
b. Reading wildly, following hunches/theories
4) You prefer to play
a. Scrabble
b. Chess or Draughts/Checkers
5) When shopping you are more often a
a. Deliberate buyer, buying what you need
b. Impulsive buyer, buying what you like
6) When you understand something new you

13) You like people who

14) Other people are likely to see you as
a. Imaginative

15) Much of what is important in life

b. Can be communicated in words
16) You am basically more
a. Co-operative

17) You enjoy
a. To be alone with your thoughts

19) You prefer my home or workplace to be
a. Comfortable and messy
b. Tidy and well organized
20) You tend to make judgments
a. On first impressions
b. After careful analysis and deliberation
Scoring can be tricky. Okay, for the first part, all the answers that are a. count to L and b. counts to R. For the second part, a. counts to R and b. counts to L.
If you got more R's than L's, you're right side of the brain is more dominant. If it's more L's than R's, your left side is dominant! If you get a tie, you're even!

I was sad when I found that she left
But then I found
That I could speak to her,
In a way
And sadness turned to comfort
We all go there
