You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-directed. Although a “thinking” individual, you “take in” entire situations readily and can act on intuition.
You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which aspect of yourself will be called on.
With a slight preference for visual processing, you tend to be encompassing in your perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in your attacking of situations or learning.
Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself — and of others — while maintaining an “openness” which tempers that tendency. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional.

Heather, you exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self-assessment quiz.

heh….guess we got the same
Nah, you’re not weird, you’re just “unusual”.
I think your results were mostly accurate, like mine were. How did you view them?
Yeah, that part doesn’t seem to fit you.
I’ll try to watch the debate, but it all depends on what my folks are planning to watch. It will air live on some channels here. I think CBS is the one I’ll watch.
I’ll surely be ready for a discussion whether I see it live or not. 🙂 I’ll try to have some coffee brewing then as well.
Let the excitement begin! Bush bashing is the new spin the bottle. Questioning how the election will turn out is the new twister. Judging the hair styles of candidates is the new popcorn.
Why can’t we? We’ll have coffee at the ready. One cup every time Bush says “evil doers”?
Yours sounds just like you, Apollo. Here’s mine:
Mandy, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and a predominantly visual learner, an interesting blend of characteristics!
You are an intensely visual person, active and continuously searching. As such, there is no rhythm or beat to limit your learning. You are constantly absorbing and imaging. Your tendency to be left- hemisphere dominant, however, creates some difficulties. You continue to attempt to structure all that input and categorize it, at the same time continuing to seek out new input while “reflecting” in what you have already gained.
With your visual orientation absorbing so much input, you sometimes utilize your left-brain focus to identify logical aspects of what you perceive and may become overwhelmed by details.
When faced with situations where you have to rely on verbal input exclusively, you may find yourself needing to work more on maintaining an “overview” or perspective in order to fully grasp the material. It is likely that “sketching out” a representation of material that you are listening to will enhance your understanding and recall of the material. Drawing diagrams and note- taking allow you to “see” the relationships and absorb them more fully.
You tend to focus on details and are generally logical and organized. You have an intensity which is evident to others and yet can feel comfortable with the applied aspects of learning, the practical.
Given that you are somewhat goal-directed, the difficulty with being so visual is that you continuously “see” new goals and thus may be drawn from one to the other or at least forced to think about them within present structures. Because of your visual processing mode, you are regularly faced with tolerating and integrating ambiguity, a process which disrupts the equilibrium of your left-hemisphere preeminence.
It is likely that you are restless continuously and do not feel challenged. You may well explore engaging in activities which enhance right-hemisphere functioning which would reduce some of the tension you might currently be experiencing.

That’s funny. I’d definitely say my life is challenging enough. This is the only quiz that has ever told me I was left-hemisphere. The result I normally get is “balanced”. The always-seeking-input thing sure is true, though!
That’s quite interesting. I think it fits you well in some ways. The imput thing is one I thought was dead on as well.
I didn’t have any coffee by the time the debate came on, but I did notice many of the things in that list being done.
