This was quite interesting. It confirmed what I always felt was my dominant side, which is not what I'd always been told. So there! ;o)

Hi Uruviel, glad you enjoyed it. I think this test is pretty much cheat-proof - assessment of the answers is unpredictable/unfathomable, so hopefully it's more accurate than the ones with ambiguous questions.

I think we probably know ourselves fairly well :0

My right brain was dominating with a few procent and the test results said that my result was kind of usual. Sometimes I prefer logic, sometimes the freedom of creativity, and I contradicted myself I think too. Don't rembember now everything it said, I forgot to save it before I closed the tab.

I was surprised to find out that the test thought I was audible rather than visual - I've always thought the opposite. But I think about it I can learn trough audio as well, though I still prefer text.

The test also confirmed that my career path I'm studying for, social worker, is suitable according to the results.

It was a fun test that felt like it fitted me.

That was just weird. I'm right-brain, as I knew very well--once I googled the definitions. Feel a bit of hostility to this test, don't ask me why. That's why I had to google the definitions.

Well, that was odd. Pretty much 50/50.

Audio 38%, Visual 61%, Left 50%, Right 50%

Couldn't manage to get a breakdown of question 20 though, link kept breaking...

I seem to have equal dominance over both spheres. Then again, I was left handed as a little kid and one teacher thought I would benefit from switching to the right hand, which supposedly makes things 'easier'. I don't think it helped me too much (that teacher has since apologised to me), but hey.

I'm also equal for all three learning types: kinaesthetic, visual, and audio, from what my tests over the years have told me. :)

This was a really interesting test. Im left oriented. but dont have a large difference between left and right.

I liked solving this:) More!

I went for equal as the results were quite interesting:

Auditory : 68%
Visual : 31%
Left : 52%
Right : 47%

Not surprising given that I've been working a ton towards balance....and also happen to be ambidextrous :)

Interesting. I'm pretty much equal, with left brain at 47% and right brain at 52%. The analysis seemed to fit me pretty well, too. I'm slightly slanted toward visual processing -- guess I'd better quit saying that I'm not a visual person, lol.

The results that test gave me were 55% Left/44% Right, 75% Visual/25% Auditory. There were a number of questions, though, where I thought that more than one of the possible answers was applicable, and I chose by more or less flipping a mental coin.

Loved the test! Very interesting ... Woke my brain right up.

I have to say the result was a bit of a surprise since I've always considered myself balanced in terms of logic and creativity.

My results: auditory 53, visual 47, right 68 and left 32.

Wow - so many votes since I last looked - brilliant! Interesting to see that so many have brains with the left and right sides equal too.

I wonder how they worked out the diagrams - there must be some sort of logic behind how they relate to assessing the brain.

Such an interesting test, Nell. My results were predominately left brain, with an emphasis on visual. Similar results to Suzanne's :)

Stats? Righto, my stats were:
aud 42% visual 57%
Left 35% Right 64% (hey that doesn't add up. Wretched at maths as I am. Might be because the 1st question, I simply had no answer for).

Hang on, others don't add up. Have we lost a percentage of our brains?

The slight difference from 100% total would be due to rounding.

Honestly, if there was sound in this test, I could have scored higher in auditory hehe! Anyway, I guess no matter how much I work on becoming more intuitive, I have lots of reason mixed in there too!

guessed as much about the visual but wasnt sure which side of brain reprisented what ^_^

Coolkidrox123, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing.

Since neither of these is completely centered, you lack the indecision and second-guessing associated with other patterns. You have a distinct preference for creativity and intuition with seemingly sufficient verbal skills to be able to translate in any meaningful way to yourself and others.

You tend to see things in "wholes" without surrendering the ability to attend to details. You can give them sufficient notice to be able to utitlize and incorporate them as part of an overall pattern.

In the same way, while you are active and process information simultaneously, you demonstrate a capacity for sequencing as well as reflection which allows for some "inner dialogue."

All in all, you are likely to be quite content with yourself and your style although at times it will not necessarily be appreciated by others. You have sufficient confidence to not second-guess yourself, but rather to use your critical faculties in a way that enhances, rather than limits, your creativity.

You can learn in either mode although far more efficiently within the visual mode. It is likely that in listening to conversations or lecture materials you simultaneously translate into pictures which enhance and elaborate on the meaning.

It is most likely that you will gravitate towards those endeavors which are predominantly visual but include some logic or structuring. You may either work particularly hard at cultivating your auditory skills or risk "missing out" on being able to efficiently process what you learn. Your own intuitive skills will at times interfere with your capacity to listen to others, which is something else you may need to take into account.

Keely, you show a slight right-hemisphere dominance with a moderate preference for auditory processing, an unusual and somewhat paradoxical combination of characteristics.

You are drawn to a random and sometimes nonchalant synthesis of material. You learn as it seems important to a specific situation, and might even develop a resentment of others who attempt to direct your learning down a specific channel.

Your right-hemispheric dominance provides a structure that is only loosely organized and one which processes entire swatches of reality, overlooking details. You are emotional in your reactions and perceptual more than logical in your approach, although you can impose structure and a language base when necessary.

Your auditory preference, on the other hand, implies that you process information sequentially and unidimensionally. This combination of right-brain and auditory modes creates conflict, as you want to process data more rapidly than your natural processes allow.

Your tendency to be creative and free-flowing is accompanied by sufficient ability to organize and be logical, allowing you a reasonable degree of success in a number of different endeavors. You take in information methodically and systematically which can then be synthesized rapidly. In this manner, you manage to function consistently well, although certainly less efficiently than you desire.

You prefer the abstract and are a theoretician at heart while retaining the ability to be practical. You find the symbolism in a great deal of what you encounter and are something of a "mystic."

With regards to your lifestyle, you have the mentality which would be good as a philosopher, writer, journalist, or instructor, or possibly as a systems designer or social worker. Perhaps most important is your ability to "listen to your inner voice" as a mode of skipping over unnecessary steps to achieve your goals.

Left : 68%
Right : 31%

what fun - thanks :)

Wow!! My stats: Left : 64% & Right : 35%.

When I clicked to read my analysis, it was more clarifying.

Very interesting test, Nell. I ended up like this:

Left: 30%, Right: 70%
Auditory: 47% Visual: 52%

The writeup provided pretty much nailed me.

sara, you are moderately right-hemisphere dominant and have even preferences between auditory and visual processing, traits that might make people perceive you as "slightly off balance."

You are most likely to be slightly disorganized, a "dreamer" and a person who focuses more on the end result than the immediate task at hand. You are creative and spontaneous if somewhat lacking in direction and focus. You are a learner who is generally patient and a person for whom time is an ally, not an enemy.

You are more passionate than most people with regard to life and learning and recognize your own intuitive abilities. You have sufficient goal-direction to satisfy yourself and guarantee success without being or feeling driven. You are willing to be reflective about yourself and others without getting lost in rumination.

The balance of your sensory modes allows for both learning and expressive capabilities achieved by few. You are active and "seeing" while retaining an equally strong propensity for being reflective which slows you down a little but allows for a more comprehensive perception and analysis of situations and problems. You do not spend excessive time analyzing since you mostly trust your perceptions.

In all likelihood, you have a tendency to overcommit and cannot under- stand why others get upset since you operate on a different "time table" than they do. Your organizational abilities are frequently overwhelmed by the stimulation seeking and active nature of your mind as well as by the tendency to create new categories and gloss over details, making categorization and classification almost impossible at times.

To the extent that your career path allows for creativity and abstraction as well as a bit of disorganization, you should find yourself equipped to handle any learning that is required. Your own personal adjustment to your style should come naturally although you are likely to feel frus- trated by your own limited discipline and often wonder "Why?"

I always known i am right-brained and left-handed :-D but really, some of those questions were really strange and I had no idea what they meant, I feel perhaps cause it is geared towards english native speakers and I am swedish...

We have the exact same results!


Tho it does suprise me a bit that my auditory percentage is as high as 68%, I think that's actually off. I'm a lot more visual too.

Me too (although I'd have been more critical of me :O). Here's what gives...

Auditory : 36%
Visual : 63%
Left : 50%
Right : 50%


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.

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

That's probably why, Bryn. I don't think there are 'right' answers to the questions - you pick what you consider to be the nearest and that indicates much (allegedly) about the dominant side of your brain.

Most of the image questions made no sense and none of the answers fitted so I stopped doing it.

LeftBrain 73%, Right 26%
Audio 30%, Visual 69% I Have No Clue What The Remaining 1% Might Be. The Visual & Audio Makes Sense Since I Am Hard Of Hearing. HaLf Stone Deaf.
