Hi everyone! This whole thing started when I was doing Math Homework (Algebra I, Functions) and I couldn't understand something! I was rotating my head a little to the right, looking at the roof, well... trying to "get it". But then I rotated my head to the left and I quickly understood it, it was like magic. So then I remember Science class:


Left Brain Functions

uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order and pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

Right Brain Functions

Uses feelings
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present future
philosophy & religion
can "get it"(i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
present possibilities
impetuous
risk taking


And I also noticed that most of the time my head is rotated to the right! :shock:

So I made this to make you guys a couple of questions I found at at a web page that says which side of your brain is dominant! Here is the page: http://www.angelfire.com/wi/2brains/test.html

So could you guys like try to write me which way do you rotate your head most of the time or which way do you rotate your head when someone asks you a question! And if you want to could you post the numbers of the questions you answered "yes"? :) This is like fun!

And just in case you wanna know...

My answers were:
2
3
4
5
6
7
9
12
13
18
20
21
22
23
27
28
30
31
32
Those were the 19 questions I answered "yes"! Out of them 14 were from the "right brain" and 5 were from the "left brain"! :shock:


So yes! I just wanna know if it is truth the thing about rotating the head has something to do with which brain is dominant on you! THANKS!

I've taken that quiz before... I can't remember the number, but it said I was a perfect balance. I think it's wrong. I pretty much have almost all of the right-brain characteristics and almost none of the left. I'm ambidextrous, and I don't think my head really leans to either side, however.

Hi Sol!

Well, I already know what side of my brain is dominant. It's the left.
You see, if your right handed, your left side of your brain is dominant. And if your left handed, your right side of your brain is dominant.
I was at a beach, and there was this lady that my grandma was talking to. She had had a X-ray of her brain, and the doctor could tell, just by looking at her X-ray, that she was left handed. You see, the people that are left handed, and the people in there right mind. Lol, just thought I'd put that in there. :D

Thanks for putting this up! It's really interesting!

Hi jungle! :D *Grinns* Yeah I thought about it because it"s logical! But Im right handed and my right side of the brain is dominant! TRUST ME the dominant part of my brain is not the left one! And my mom is right handed and her right brain is dominant too! I don"t think we"re just an exception! So there is something to think about and investigate! This is sooo fun!

My test was almost equal. 9-left 8-right
But maybe Jungle is right and maybe Jungle is wrong. Since right-hand people dominate over left-handed, not a lot of people are using there right side brain, which seems to me controls most of your creativity. But does that mean left-handed people aren't clever since the left side of the brain controls more of the logic and thought process?
But I can also agree with it. My sister is a living example of the left hand-right side, right hand-left side. My sister is very creative, coming up with songs on her guitar, learning songs with ease, and being creative way past my abilities but sometimes she can be confused by the simple things. She's left-handed.
I can't really say much since my Test was so close together and it seems to fit pretty well with me. I'm not extremely talented with creativity as my sister(envy), but I have a big imagination which makes up for my creativity. I'm not saying I'm smart either(I'm not a straight A student, that's for sure. :/). I can get confused too, but mostly in a logical way. I'm right-handed.
So both points seem pretty argumentative.
Maybe with your tilting to the left experience happened because you where subconsciously thinking about the brain pattern which caused you to tilt you head and helped you think more deeply about the problem because you knew the left side brain controlled mostly thought. If you think about it, it makes a lot of since. :]

Really? Because I'm a lefty and my left side of my brain is completely dominant.

Hm, how well can you do stuff(writing, brushing your teeth) with your right hand? That's strange...

My mom always says that people who write with their left hand are always more artistic (which is what I'm guessing sums up the left side of the brain) but I find that that's not so! I'm a lefty and I got this: L=6 and R=8. I always thought that I lived in my imagination. :smt087

The only thing I can do better with my right hand is snapping. No idea why! :)

Ooh wonder if that has something to do with the brain-side, too. :)

Um... ambidextrous. I can write equally well with both hands.

Lucky! My left hand writing looks like a five year old wrote it. Spike that; a five year old could probably stay on the notebook lines. ...And you think I'm kidding. 8)

L = 10
R = 7

I always believed that I was pretty balanced with a touch more right-brain. Guess I was half right: just a touch more left-brain. xD Really cool test, though some of those questions I couldn't quite answer as easily. My results are in the spoiler!
