I’m sure that I don’t have that answer, but there is a fun little test that can shed a little light on how you lean as far as creativity. Take the Right Brain vs Left Brain creativity test for your information.

I tested out as 44% Left brain and 56% Right brain. A summary of my results is:

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, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.

Hmmm . . . Go figure! ;-)

If you take the test, add your results to the comments below.

    It was an interesting test. I kind of thought it would be close to a 50-50 split just from the questions and how I answered. The results:

    Left Brain: 45%
    Right Brain: 55%

    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 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.

    Thanks for the link!

    This was fun! I was hoping I was more creative, but the results pretty much fit me!
    The results show your brain dominance as being:

    Left Brain Right Brain
    56% 44%

    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 guess my left brain is smarter than my right. I always thought it was the other way around.
