Creativity Test

[SerendipityCrafts]

Are You Left-Brained or Right-Brained? Take the test - http://www.wherecreativitygoestoschool.com/vancouver/left_right/rb_test.htm

The brain is composed of two hemispheres, known as the left and right hemisphere. While each hemisphere has unique functions, which one side performs and the other does not, both hemispheres possess the ability to analyze sensory data, perform memory functions, learn new information, form thoughts, and make decisions.

The way you use these abilities determines a large part of your personality and behavior. By the time we, as humans, are two years old, one hemisphere begins to dominate your decision-making process. Communication between the two halves is possible due to the corpus callosum and this process continues to improve until the age of 15.

The left hemisphere specializes in analytical thought. It is responsible for dealing with "hard" facts such as abstractions, structure, discipline, rules, time sequences, mathematics, categorizing, logic, rationality, and deductive reasoning. It is also responsible for details, knowledge, definitions, planning, goals, words, productivity, efficiency, science, technology, stability, extraversion, physical activity, and the right side of the body. Left hemisphere ability is the predominant focus in school and society.

The right hemisphere specializes in "softer" aspects than the left hemisphere. The right hemisphere is responsible for intuition, feelings, sensitivity, emotions, daydreaming, visualizing, creativity, color, spatial awareness, and first impressions. It is also responsible for rhythm, spontaneity, impulsiveness, the physical senses, risk-taking, flexibility and variety, learning by experience, relationships, mysticism, play and sports, introversion, humor, motor skills, and the left side of the body (the old belief that left-handed people are more creative does hold some scientific credence). The right hemisphere also has a holistic method of perception that is able to recognize patterns and similarities and combines those elements into new forms.


I am definitely right brained but not nearly as much as I thought I would be :)

The results show your brain dominance as being:

44% Left Brain 56% Right Brain

You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.

[Kyriel]

I got 68% Right and 32% left. Suppose that's fitting for someone with a BFA.

[tk93]

61% left 39% right
Would you expect otherwise from a business school graduate? :cool: Haha :p

[amunet]

Left Brain: 57%
Right Brain: 43%
Which fits my scientist occupation, so am not surprised.

Does this mean that Serendipity and I are on common ground or what?

[WebLady]

I thought I would be more right brained, but I don't think the test is all that definative.

I got 52% Left and 48% Right ...

You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the "whole" picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge.I don't think this is really me ... while I like to make important decisions clearly, I don't think I live the rest of my life that critically.

Your complete evaluation follows below:

Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows:

Your Left Brain Percentages

34% Reality-based (Your most dominant characteristic)
25% Symbolic
22% Linear
22% Sequential
14% Verbal
13% Logical (Your least dominant characteristic)

I agree with the first sentences, but I'm also a very visual person, with good spatial reasoning. I'm very good at imagining the whole picture, not just pieces like this quiz says.

And I'm a graphic designer...

Wow! I would have totally expected a graphic designer to be more right brained than left brained. Do you design things that are more structured than abstract?

While interesting to see what I, and everyone else, got, I don't think its particularly accurate. But maybe it is! What do I know. :icon_barbar:

[Whitewater]

That's very interesting to me. I now know that this test is more inaccurate than anything else, because I have a neurological deficit that should have skewed my results pretty badly, not given me a normal if slightly dominant result, which is in fact unable to be true due to the nature of my deficit. I simply cannot be as left brained as this test suggests.

Oh well, it was fun anyway, even if it's not accurate. I like to think that this result is what it would be if I were neurotypical.

I was a graphic designer too (in a previous life - ie before kids). I use many GD design tricks in my biz now.

Wow! I would have totally expected a graphic designer to be more right brained than left brained. Do you design things that are more structured than abstract?

There is a lot of right brain stuff involved but IMHO you also have to have a certain amount of critical thinking to be a GD. When it comes to layout, you need to divide spacious rationally. When it comes to logos and design, you have to be able to simplify elements. When it comes to typography, it requires an eye for negative and positive space and how it works together. When it comes to web design, you need to for the design to work logically. :)

That makes me virtually 50/50.

I did not like this test though - there were too many double barreled questions. A lot of them the first part would be true, but not the second, and vice versa. Though I consider myself both creative and logical, and that fit...

I am very much a structured designer. Not so good at abstract-ness... I tend to design more in a modern, minimalist style, which tends to be more structured. I love flowy, swirly designs, I'm just not as good designing them myself.

I'm also working as a prepress technician, which is all numbers and spatial reasoning.

Oh I know. Remember we share a similar brain?

[Danielle9608]

I am 56% Right Brain and 44% Left Brain. I am not surprised I am more right brain since I work in a creative field (Graphic Design). But I am also very technical which I guess why it was almost 50/50.

[Ninedays9]

I am 52% right and 48% left. I think I might be slightly more right-brained than that, though. And I find it interesting that librarian (the job I'm eventually hoping to do) was listed in the career question with other careers listed that are clearly for left-brained people. It does make sense though since organization is a big part of it.
