Belle, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.

Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to "catch up" with yourself.

Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. You can "size up" situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to "lose touch" with the immediacy of the problem.

Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you "learn from experience" and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.

You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the "larger whole."

With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can "see where you want to go" and even be able to "tell yourself," but find that you are "fighting yourself" at the darndest times.

xxx, your results indicate a strong left-hemisphere dominance with a mild preference for auditory processing. This blend would suggest that you are an extremely efficient person, logical perhaps to an extreme. You tend to structure your life and learning in very precise ways.

You benefit from experience, seek the rational in situations and feel most comfortable with routine.

You are a detail person. You see each piece of a puzzle or situation with equal clarity and value, and thrive on your ability to fit each piece into a unifying structure.

Your learning style tends toward the auditory, which suggests that you process inputs sequentially and classify each before moving on to the next. You do, however, possess sufficient visualization skills and interest to supplement the auditory tendency and render you more active than a person who is purely auditory.

In all likelihood you will be somewhat reserved in appreciating your own talents and understate your abilities even to yourself. You will organize your time and set schedules for yourself and, in that sense, lose sight of spontaneity and other needs - both of yourself and others. Your enviable organization, structure, and efficiency make you a valuable asset to a team effort.

lastcrazyhorn,
you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing.

Since neither of these is completely centered, you lack the indecision and second-guessing associated with other patterns. You have a distinct preference for creativity and intuition with seemingly sufficient verbal skills to be able to translate in any meaningful way to yourself and others.

You tend to see things in "wholes" without surrendering the ability to attend to details. You can give them sufficient notice to be able to utitlize and incorporate them as part of an overall pattern.

In the same way, while you are active and process information simultaneously, you demonstrate a capacity for sequencing as well as reflection which allows for some "inner dialogue."

All in all, you are likely to be quite content with yourself and your style although at times it will not necessarily be appreciated by others. You have sufficient confidence to not second-guess yourself, but rather to use your critical faculties in a way that enhances, rather than limits, your creativity.

You can learn in either mode although far more efficiently within the visual mode. It is likely that in listening to conversations or lecture materials you simultaneously translate into pictures which enhance and elaborate on the meaning.

It is most likely that you will gravitate towards those endeavors which are predominantly visual but include some logic or structuring. You may either work particularly hard at cultivating your auditory skills or risk "missing out" on being able to efficiently process what you learn. Your own intuitive skills will at times interfere with your capacity to listen to others, which is something else you may need to take into account.

Can't say that it's all right, but some of it is.

Well I have suspected that I have a more visual then auditory way of thinking.

I would be interested to see peoples comments on their results...

For me it is actually quite accurate, and I can't think of anything that is overtly wrong with its assessment. The only thing that I would disagree with is the underestimating of my own abilities.

It was true in the past, but as I have continued my journey of self-discovery I have been very astute in practicing my self awareness and introspection. I now believe I have a quite accurate picture of my own strengths and weaknesses.

This is the question that I really had only one choice on:

Question 14 of 20

The pair below which seems to best match the relationship of 15 and 6 is ...

A. 23 and 5
Only a person with acute right hemisphere tendencies will notice the relationship in this response: 2 plus 3 equals 5 just as 1 plus 5 equals 6 in the original set of numbers. This is a purely visual way of looking at the numbers irrespective of their placement next to each other.
B. 23 and 8
15 is a two-digit number and odd, 6 is a one-digit number and even. In a similar vein, 23 is a two-digit odd number and 8 is a single-digit even number. Logic demands that since 23 is greater than 15, whatever follows 23 must be greater than 6. Left hemisphere, auditory.
C. HIGHER and LOWER
Choosing response C is the "safe" answer reflecting tendencies towards mixed dominance. However, it is also predicated on the right hemisphere focus of language (e.g. quantities, comparisons, positions) and thus is auditory.

Had to be C, 'cause I couldn't see anything to do with the first two. Except for the fact that 15 plus 6, was 23 . . .

Ironic, Who_Am_I, considering you are a music student.

OK, here's my test results:

Quatermass, you are strongly left-hemisphere dominant and show somewhat of a preference for visual learning, a positive combination of styles.

Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that you are strongly organized, logical and detail-oriented. Visual preference indicates that you learn in an active, simultaneous multidimensional fashion.

With this pattern you would likely be good in fields such as engineering, architecture, drafting, computer graphics and the like. It is likely that you will find situations which demand auditory processing somewhat frustrating unless you can impose your own structures and categories while processing it.

Another possible barrier to using your talents to the fullest may be the excess attention that you can tend to give details in your day-to- day operations and learning. You can acknowledge the existence of "the bigger picture" but concentrate on the details and expect that the picture will emerge from the details themselves.

You strive towards goals and this, coupled with the active nature of your learning preference, creates a sense of you being "driven." Your tolerance of ambiguity is, at times, in conflict with your preference for the straight path and directness in everything. You tend to be as impatient with yourself as you are with others.

You have enough auditory learning capability to somewhat balance your more natural chaotic learning style. It is likely that you "slide into" the more sequential auditory learning mode when you get frustrated with the amount of input to be processed.

You are somewhat likely to be driven and distracted, but you have some capability for articulating and visualizing goals, which helps to reduce frustration. You can listen to others, but not without occasional agitation. There are times when your left hemisphere cannot categorize your learnings and place them in context, because that is the domain of the right hemisphere.

Did the test, but the result was so way off that I tried it again (they have different questions each time) and it was completely different yet still, way off. Conclusion: I don't trust this test at all.
I'm not bothering to post the results.

EDIT:
To elaborate. The first time it gave me an insanely low visual percentage. I'm an artist and writer. The second time I got a high visual percentage, but it said I can make decisions easily (making decisions is one of the things I just cannot do without near-panic), and that I'm content with myself (very wrong), etc.

However, this is my opinion.
It might just be my mind being stupid (as its known to be).
