---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OVERVIEW-----------------------------------------------------
This topic is basically a test I took at school awhile back about a Brain Dominance Test. I thought I would share it with the clan because it is so 'brain' thrilling! Yet it does seem like a lot and only do this if your willing to, because this post is really long. Its basically a Pycology test on what side of your brain hemisphere holds dominance over you. Basically there is two sides: Right-Hemisphere and Left Hemisphere. Check the bottom of this post to see the explanation.
This test takes about 5 minutes or less and you might want to have a pencil with you to write down your answers. How to grade yourself and the explanations will be explained below. Here are the questions:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------SCORING YOURSELF--------------------------------------------
How many "a" answers did you have for odd-numbered question? ____
How many "b" answers did you have for even-numbered questions? ____
LEFT HEMISPHERE TOTAL- ____
How many "a" answers did you have for even numbered questions? ____
How many "b" answers did you have for odd-numbered questions? ____
RIGHT HEMISPHERE TOTAL- ____
-------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION OF LEFT AND RIGHT HEMISPHERES----------------------------------
LEFT-HEMISPHERE DOMINANCE (left-hemisphere total = 10 or more)
Your score indicates that you are generally a highly organized person. If your are sloppy, even your mess makes sense to you. When given a job to do, you like to approach the task one step at a time rather than plunging into it. If you are involved in extra-curricular activities, you are probably well-disciplined. For example, if you are a musician, you probably follow a practice schedule well. In the future, you;d probably do well in one of the following area: accounting, engineering, or computer progamming.
RIGHT-HEMISPHERE DOMINANCE (right-hemisphere total = 10 or more)
Your total indicates that you use intuition and creativity to achieve certain goals, rather than an outlined, detailed plan of action. You feel that to much planning tends to limit possibilities. If you are involved in extra curricular activities that require practice or drilling, you preform well when inspired but otherwise do not enjoy the routine of practicing every day. Chances are good that you are interested in one of the following areas: music, art, athletics.
BALANCED HEMISPHERE (both hemisphere total = less than 10)
As indicated in the previous descriptions, left-hemisphere people prefer structure; right hemisphere people do not. Your score indicates that you fall somewhere between these to extremes. When given a job to do, you may prepare yourself by making lists (something a left-hemisphere person would do), but the lists may not be highly organized (which a right-hemisphere person may prefer).

If you've made it this far congratulate yourself on having overcomed something greater than all of mankind. Post your results below to see what ya got. Best of luck.
