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
1) You tend to be more often:
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
a. Piece it all together
b. Understand it all at once

7) You have hunches
a. Rarely
b. Often

8) You have trouble putting feelings into words
a. Rarely
b. Often

9) When you are taking a trip you prefer to
a. Write down the directions
b. Use a map

10) When you choose clothes you prefer to go for
a. Relatively understated style and colour (dark shades and black
b. Flair and bright colours (including white)

Part II
11) You tend to remember people
a. By their names
b. By their faces

12) You agree that science
a. Will never explain many things
b. Should eventually explain everything

13) You like people who
a. Keep weighing up the pros and cons
b. Are sure of their conclusions

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

15) Much of what is important in life
a. Cannot be expressed in words
b. Can be communicated in words

16) You am basically more
a. Co-operative
b. Competitive

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

18) You prefer
a. Being spontaneous
b. Making plans and schedules

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!

11 Left 9 Right. I think that the test is sort of off. I know that I am predominantly left-brained and most other tests have me strongly left.
