...but it's a bleeding *quiz*, curse it, and we all know my willpower in that regard. Sigh. Here it is:

Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 29%
Visual : 70%
Left : 50%
Right : 50%

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.

Hmmm.... Well, at least I'm consistent. Every single test I've taken on brain hemispheres says I'm almost exactly balanced between the two halves. As for the other stuff, I think for the most part they've nailed me. I am indeed balanced between logic and intuition. I do experience anxiety when in ambiguous situations. And I most definitely *am* a multidimensional learner, a global learner---I won't remember details for the sake of remembering them; they have to fit inside a larger framework, relevant to other details. Which, I suppose, does mean I take longer to learn things. Usually when I'm paying attention to my learning timetable, though, I'm not competing against anyone but myself...and, to myself, I'm always too slow. Must be that critical thing.

I'm not sure about that "creativity may not be in keeping with your potential" bit, though. What the hell does that mean, anyway? That I'm more creative than I'll admit or that I think I'm more creative than I actually am? Or does it mean my full potential lies only partially in creativity? Eh? Wha? In all those cases, they're right about the pragmatist part at least. I generally try and avoid any and all evaluation of the extent of my creativity and operate on what's clicking along in my head, regardless of origin.

Huh. That was fun. Probably a lot more fun for me than those of you forced to read this thing. ;)
