I've been pondering the differences between right-brain and left-brain people alot lately. I find it odd that people who are mainly right-brained tend to be Democrats/Liberals (the left) and Republicans/Conservatives tend to be left-brained (the right). I'm sorry, that just hits me as odd. Anyway, right-brained people tend to be more creative/abstract and left-brained people I'm a mix of both.
I took this test to discover which part of your brain is dominant and here are my results:
Anyway, what set me to thinking about all this is the different types of people I have met at the many schools I have attended. When I went to CollegeAmerica, most of the people that excelled there were the more technical, logical, left-brain types. They all thought I was weird that I got off on web design so much. I was always trying to weave creative stuff into everything I did to make it less boring. Now that I'm at a creative school, I keep running into people that are totally lost when it comes to technical/logical things. That's really scary when one of the main tools of graphic design/desktop publishing is a computer. I'm amazed that some people can't even grasp the concept of how data is stored on a cd and that it can't be rewritten once burned (unless you have cd-rw).
So this is why I have a hard time fitting in anywhere. I'm a little too creative to be happy being an IT tech or any kind of office worker, but too technical/practical/logical to be happy being an artist. I'm hoping that I really have found my niche. I'm so looking forward to the web classes that I begin in two weeks.

I took this test to discover which part of your brain is dominant and here are my results:
Your Brain Usage Profile
Auditory : 42%
Visual : 57%
Left : 50%
Right : 50%
LaDonna, 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.
