Brain Hemisphere (Left Brain/Right Brain)
Go back to: General discussion
This forum is for posting our results and discussing the impact of Brain Hemisphere (Left Brain/Right Brain) on our math learning
Left Brain (32.4%) The left hemisphere is the logical, articulate, assertive, and practical side of the brain
Are You Right or Left Brained?(word pair test)
personality tests by similarminds.com
Right Brain 77.2%
Left Brain 22.8%
Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.
Overall you appear to be Right Brain Dominant
I am 70% right and 30% left, apparently - but the results are suspect. Or rather, they remind me of the average patient temperature in the hospital joke.
That is, my brain use is very specific to areas of my life. I use my brain very differently for doing math and teaching math - my professional activities - and, say, playing "World of Warcraft" or cleaning the house. I even feel like different persons, somehow. When I was younger, people who knew me in different circumstances used to not believe stories from these other "worlds" - for example, my hiking group never believed I was straight "A" student at school because I was too silly, while with them.
Right Brain (34%)and Left Brain (66%)
Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.
I agree with the abstract concepts as I did struggle with that in math. However, I find that I'm right brained in a lot of other things.
Right Brain 38%
Left Brain 58%
Looking at the results above I would have said Left Brain people struggle with Maths and Right Brain do not, but Carol destroyed that theory. LOL ;)
Did the other test "personality tests by similarminds.com" Big 5 test results and this has come closest to describing me.
Global5/SLOAN type is RCUAN
Your Primary type is Calm
RCUAN is almost 95% me. Thank you Carol. Was wondering if there was something wrong with me, wasn't fitting into the personality types. :)
http://www.funderstanding.com/content/right-brain-vs-left-brain is an interesting site.
I think my score is 70% left, 30% right. I thought I put this in already. Hmmm. Maybe I put it in the wrong forum.
