Right Brain, Left Brain

I've been enjoying doing quizzes all week. The brain test was the one I enjoyed the most. I love learning about how the body works and find the brain absolutely fascinating. If I had a better memory, I'd probably become a scientist, but with the way my memory works, I'm much better off just making stuff up.

According to the left-brain, right-brain dominance theory, each side of the brain has specific functions. For example, the right side of the brain

The left side of the brain is supposed to be more analytical and logical, and controls:languagelogiccritical thinkingnumbers, andreasoning.(source: http://psychology.about.com/od/cognitivepsychology/a/left-brain-right-brain.htm)
I must be missing uni - I had to try really hard not to put in the correct APA6 reference for that!
Apparently, fiction writing is one of the few jobs that uses the right and left hemisphere equally. That would be one reason my results for this test came out at 50/50. My day job also requires significant cross-over, so that would help as well.

And just because I love the colours, and like Mercedes Benz, here's an image that illustrates things beautifully.
