Right brain/Left Brain Test

[Birdsnest]

http://similarminds.com/brain-word.html

[Birdsnest]

I'm equally left and right with slightly more left:

Right Brain |||||||||||| 50%
Left Brain |||||||||||||| 52%

Left brain dominant individuals are more literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.

Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.

Overall you appear to have fairly Equal Hemispheres

*Left/right functions are measured separately so they usually won't add up to 100%
-----------------------------------------

The ideal is to develop both your left and right brain. Many people identify their personality with being more right or left brained. "I am just not verbal" or "I just don't like art". The right and left brain are just functions to be utilized, they are not who you are. You are the manager, coach, architect, developer of your functions. No matter how developed one side of your mind is, if you have deficiencies in the other you will be functionally crippled. Right brain deficiencies inhibit your comprehension of life - who you are, where you stand, what's the point. Left brain deficiencies will inhibit your ability to express yourself verbally to others, leaving you mute to the world.

50/50 makes sense. It explains why I'm artistic as well as analytical and I often experience a conflict between my two modes of thinking.

Mostly personal experience, but the intuition you know?
I'll get back to ya on this, but I feel strongly that there is a correlation.
Much of the data I have seen suggests the right brain preference indicated in depression.
Then there is the artist/poet link with manic depression.
I noticed my creative urge supressed along with my emotionality.
I dont' know about other people, INTP's, but my inner emotional life is
turbulent and volatile. The exterior control conceals this tenuously.
The antidepressants deadened this, which was welcomed in the face of suicidal tendencies, but feels alien in retrospect now that I have passed out of that period in my life.
Pharmeceuticals be damned, but at least I am sucking air for whatever thats worth.
Beats the void.

I experienced what you are saying. I do know. But the experience was the result of SSRI type antidepressants. Norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitors seem to have a different effect, for the better.

Am I the only one this left brain dominant? Weird, maybe I really am INTJ *shudder* (j/k). I'm not an expert on it so not sure if that would make sense either.

[INTrPosr]

Right brain deficiencies inhibit your comprehension of life - who you are, where you stand, what's the point. Left brain deficiencies will inhibit your ability to express yourself verbally to others, leaving you mute to the world.

Interesting theory and truthful for myself, regarding right brain dominance. However, I understood INFJs have even a harder time understanding who they are. Per Lenore Thomson, they are left brain dominant. As for the left brain, it's right on again since the average introverted j would mistype me as being extraverted.

[Boozer]

I just bought "Please Understand Me II" by Keirsey, so I'll take that quiz and see what comes up... incedentally is this book any good (a little late I know, already shelled out the $15, just curious)

[Boozer]

This is the results from my takinf the test by hand:

I (90%)
N (85%)
T (60%)
P (55%)

So I guess I can see why I score as an INTJ sometimes, if one question had been off it would have been 50/50

Not surprised. I used to be very left-brained. Then I discovered the difference between being smart and intelligent: creative thinking. If you don't have it, you're mediocre; you can't exceed the limits.

I wish I could go in with a team of experts for an FMRI, etc. so I could see how my brain functions; not just what some test prescribes according to my alleged symptoms.

I'm actually reading a book, "Left Brain, Right Brian," detailing the asymmetries of the brain and its functions. I need to do some research into development of tests and functional categories- the inconsistencies bother me. For example, I have a low emotion quotient, a high systematizing quotient (same as one with Asperger's Syndrome), but I'm right-brained, ergo I grasp emotions. Perhaps I simply can't remember and this isn't, in fact, an inconsistency. Oh well.

I thought it was a good book. He gives very comprehensive and unbiased explanations of each of the 4 basic type categories. I've gone back to it as a reference to help understand my close friends and family members.

[Boozer]

I've been meaning to ask this, how do you guys type your friends and relatives. Are they taking the test, or is it just that you've read up enough on it to make educated determinations. I dont feel that confident about it yet. I/E seems easy enough. But the others not so much. I guess now that this has grabbed my interest (once I actually pay for a book on something it's started) I'll start paying more attention. My best friend took it and came out infp I think. But I don't know about anyone else.

It was the first book that I bought to learn about type. I think it's good in discovering your temperment (NT,NF,SP,SJ), but lacking in good descriptions of types. The INTP sounds nothing like me and the ENTP appears geekish. I posted elsewhere on the forum, warning not to correlate temperment with MBTI (two separate schools of thought).

[Boozer]

Damn, probably missed that stuff. I don't suppose you have any suggestions for a better book, a maybe a link to that thread?

I've been reading this book, and it seems very similar to the stuff I've read on the internet... but if you have a better suggestion please let me know, I'm almost done witrh this one already :)

Mostly from observation. If they are on the border it can be hard, extremes are a lot easier. My family is all introverted (Thank God!). Most are Js. The S/N and T/F are the hard ones.

Boozer, I am unsure who you are referencing your inquiry to, but I like Lenore Thomson's "Personality Type: An Owner's Manual" Lenore can get kinda heady, but she is INTJ. She provides interesting illustrations with movie characters (mostly Sci-Fi), and discusses left/right brain hemisphere. Sometimes, I have to go back a read some things over, but she does not give the sterotypical descriptions provided by most. In fact, she believes that Ti-Ne are both right brain functions and that TPs learn from experience.

10-15 years ago, I used to be more Left brain. At that time, I had trouble thinking things that I hadn't experienced before. Gradually, this ability has grown, and I find creating much easier. I couldn't tell you why.

I'm a major P, but had been trying to conform to the J world. I finally decided to let go.

Boozer, there are lots of clues, and even though I think I may know someone at a given time, I tend to keep my eyes open for the clues. Sometimes I realize that I am off, and keeping my mind open helps me get better because I keep learning from it. I have read "Please Understand Me (1&2)" which provide lots of insight. Another book that is less theoretical and more practical is "The Art of Speedreading People". Which points to particular behavior common in certain types. For example, Guardians (especially ESTJ's) tend to use more sports metaphors (something you're not likely to see on this board ;) ). That's just one example.

I usually pick up on the N/S difference pretty quickly, and I think it's a key one to consider. I work out from there and goto the four primary types (Guardian-SJ, Artisan-SP, Rational-NT, and Idealist-NF). The keys to these are usually more straightforward, IMHO. E/I may be more obvious, but I don't focus so much on that pair for some reason.

and no... i meant that the results may be skewed since from what i've heard, left-handers are the opposite when it comes to judging such things

[Lucy]

i don't really understand what you mean by "the opposite"?

[candy]

Digest, do you mean the brain of left-handed is converse to the one of right-handed? Then no, it doesn't work like that. But I don't remember how it works exactly. I've studied it though... <_<

They have a larger corps callum and better neuronal connections between both hemispheres. And they have a different brain laterality .... Huh! O wwwwwwa I forgot!

[digesthisickness]

how so? the questions are about values/charecteristics. Why would I see being dutiful different from the way my sister sees it? Regardless of wether I see myself as dutiful or not.

no no no...

i mean where a person may be so-and-so amount creative on the right side (which is supposed to be the creative side)... when it comes to the left-handed person, it would be converse.

i.e. creative normally being the right brain (if i remember correctly), then the creative part would be left brain for a lefty

(again... i was just wondering if i'd remembered correctly about this, so i mentioned it)

Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.

Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.

I would like to see a statistical comparison between the MBTI scores and this test. I'd imagine that f, n and p would indicate a right brain preference and s, t and j a left brain. This is not really a novel prediction, but I think it would be interesting to see nonetheless...though i guess since we at INTPcentral wouldn't be able to get an accurrate data sample since there isn't much mbti variation here compared with the general population.

I use both sides almost equally. I think this may be because I am slightly ambidexterous and weird when it comes to thinking.

[MyDogHasFleas]

The weird thing about me is that I'm both, but they run separately. Does that make any sense? I almost feel like two people. I imagine that the right-brained half of me is the real me, I really do "think in pictures" and visualize situations. However, I also have a very good left-brained processing engine... I'm good at linear-processing things like math problems and coding. But I feel like that's just an engine that runs and it's not really me, it's just a background processing function. And if I need to visualize what to do and how to go about it on a math or computer problem, I use my right brain to pick the right path, then the left brain can take over and fill out the details. Weird huh? But that's actually me.

Another thing I do is remember words visually and read visually. So if I know a word I know how to spell it, because I can see it in my memory. And I read by seeing the page with my right brain, not by sequentially reading the words with my left brain... unless it's very complex stuff and needs to be broken down logically. Then I slow down and read sequentially.

Anyway I got like 65% right brain on the test. Probably about right.

It, like the most of the others, shows only a slight preference for the right hemisphere. Also, it shows pretty balanced auditory/visual styles which I would say is pretty accurate for me, but I probably actually lean more visual. I would attribute the inaccuracy to the small sample of questions.


Now after taking these tests, the next thing I say is probably going to make me seem like an ass, considering my fairly balanced results.

From my understanding, beyond handedness, which does have some importance in areas, such as neurosurgery. Functionally, individuals who appear the brightest, typically have a high level of integration between the two hemispheres. While a highly lateralized brain could show a strong talent at a particular function (e.g. logic or creativity), there is a good chance it may not be observed. Interestingly, it's when the two hemispheres are able to work better together that higher levels of mental abilities are most often seen. A balanced brain may actually show much higher functional capacity, by being able to capitalize on strengths of both hemispheres (e.g. logic + creativity).

According to Darwinian theory, optimal evolution takes place with random variation and selective retention. The evolution savvy individual will try many different approaches when faced with a problem and select the best of those approaches. Many historical intellectuals have confessed their advantage was simply considering/exploring/trying more approaches than others. The left brain dominant type suffers from limited approaches, narrow-mindedness. The right brain dominant type suffers from too many approaches, scatterbrained. To maintain balanced hemispheres, you need to exercise both variability and selection. Just as a company will have more chance of finding a great candidate by increasing their applicant pool, an individual who considers a wider set of options is more likely to make quality decisions.

In addition to this it has been confirmed on three separate occasions via eye accessing cues that I access my memories and imagination from areas of the brain that would normally be associated with left handed people. In other words I have a left handed brain inside a right handed body????

From what I understand this is quite rare.

Notice when you add your two numbers together you get 94%.

When you add my two numbers together you get 127%.

Does that mean I have more brains? :grin:

Interesting theory and truthful for myself, regarding right brain dominance. However, I understood INFJs have even a harder time understanding who they are. Per Lenore Thomson, they are left brain dominant. As for the left brain, it's right on again since the average introverted j would mistype me as being extraverted.

I have a low J so maybe that is where I am an exception. I'll vouch for not understanding who I am.....where are the meds??

You missed Hustler's point (unsurprisingly)

70 + 52 = 127 makes you officially retarded.

The average IQ is 100. An IQ of 75 is officially retarded. What the hell are you talking about?

Lol, seriously? I can't make it any clearer, I tried.

Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.


You responded as a right brained person to 11 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 8 questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your right brain the most

Holistic Processing information from whole to part; sees the big picture first, not the details.
Random Processing information with out priority, jumps form one task to another.
Concrete Processes things that can be seen , or touched - real objects.
Intuitive Processes information based on whether or not it feels right know answer but not sure how it was derived.
Nonverbal Processes thought as illustrations.
Fantasy-Oriented Processes information with creativity; less focuses on rules and regulations

*results won't usually add up to 100% as this test measures each side seperately

Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.

I'm actually kind of surprised. I am extremely right-handed when it comes to manual tasks (eating, cutting, writing). Often I feel like I am experiencing life more from the right side, somehow my right eye seems to be the one I pay more attention to.

Or is this completely unrelated?

Right brain / Left brain tests are all usually a bunch of hogwash.
The communication between the two hemispheres is far too complex for it to be split depending on character traits, although each brain is specialized in different functions.

Administer this test to a split brain patient, or to someone with AgCC and the results would make no sense. Personality traits are shared and communicated.

Having said that,

Judging from this thread, it seems like most INTPs are about 50/50 with a bit more right brain than left brain. I think generally INTPs are naturally right brained but society has made us use our left brain more and more for practical purposes.

Would a verbal test skew the results? We're engaging verbal processing centers to read it...
