Inside Amy’s Brain
So I did another of those brain persuasion tests … it totally baffles me how some of this can just be soooo darn accurate. Check out the last line of the analysis that follows …
Your Brain Usage Profile
Auditory : 44%
Visual : 55%
Left : 72%
Right : 27%
Amy, 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. (emphasis added)
HELLO !!!!! 🙂
You know … that’s a great question !!! I have certainly noticed a change in my use of the vocabulary over time … I feel I have a much greater command of the language … I definitely think I’m more verbal, but reality must be acknowledged too … there is a bit of verbosity to my nature … I am an attorney after all !! 🙂
I find it interesting that your left-right brain balance has shifted from exactly 50-50 to 72-27 (where’s the other 1%) in favour of the left brain, since you last took the test. Does this mean you’re becoming more verbal? Or simply more verbose? 🙂
(BTW: I’m the other way around entirely, 61-38 in favour of the right brain. Since I’m mainly left-handed, maybe this is not surprising. I write with my right, though, apart from on blackboards, which I cannot do at all with my right hand. I can write reasonably with my left with a pen. It also said I’m an auditory reasoner, which apparently is rather unusual for a right-brain-dominant person. So, my brain’s weirder than yours! Heh heh.)
Holy redundacy Batgirl !! You mean I’m lapping the internet !! LOL Thanks chica … not necessarily for pointing it out … but for remembering I had posted it before … my guess … I must have stole if from you originally !! 🙂
aims, you already did this quiz once, on june 9, 2003! are you going senile already? 😛
my results from then are here.

Hi Amy, this is my first post here on your site, but who knows… I may make more in the future.
I just went and did this little test, and I have to say it seems to have pegged me to a T as well… go figure. 🙂
My results were:
Auditory : 64%
Visual : 35%
Left : 52%
Right : 47%
I won’t post the entire summary, however, I will post the summary paragraph:
“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 is redeeming. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity is not in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, the more obvious and the more functional.”
I can’t quite figure out how 20 simple questions can nail some of my basic personality traits down so well! :}
Thank you for posting this little test, now I am going to get everyone I know to do it too! :}
Peace,
Paige Marie
