Odd: 7
Even: 12
Scoring:
-If you bolded mostly odd-numbered statements (1,3,5,etc.), you're a LEFT brainer. This means you're a thinker, a planner, and a talker. You know how to analyze situations and make clear decisions based on what you think. People seek you for advice because you have a level head. Teachers love you because you remember answers and are good at memorizing. The downside of being strictly left-brained is being a little too regimented. You might be a bit too structured for some people and that can get you into trouble. Left-brainers tend to talk too much because they spend so much time trying to explain themselves. They're too caught up in tiny details to see the whole picture.
-If you bolded mostly even-numbered statements (2,4,6,etc.), you're a RIGHT brainer. Being a righty means being creative, spontaneous, and perhaps even scatterbrained. You're a feeler so most of what you do and think is based on how it makes you feel. Right-brainers are impulsive and easygoing. They're very visually oriented which means they see the big picture before they see the little things that make up the picture. The problem with right-brainers always 'feeling' and 'doing' is that they may not do enough thinking. There are rules you're supposed to be following and sometimes right-brainers forget that. They're easily distracted and can have a hard time focusing.
-If you're an even mix of both sides, don't worry. Most people are a little of both. The goal is to use both halves of your brain. The most creative and successful people are a combination of the two. Knowing yourself lets you capitalize on your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.
right-brainer i am
