You will note I have posted my own email address so I can be easily reached.

Questor,

You and I frequently disagree, and we may not get along very well, but I must offer you some friendly (although, unsolicited) advise.

You really should remove your email from open view in the thread.

You are setting yourself up for a real headache, and are opening yourself up to attack from the spam bots out there that troll internet fora like this for email addresses.


Do what you wish, but I suggest you remove your personal email from the thread, removing it from public view, and share it only via PM with anyone interested in participating.


In the spirit of friendship,
iNow

Infy, thanks, I took your advice. It probably is not a good idea to have my address public.

Freeztar, You gave me enough information and I have observed your comments enough to make my profile even though you chose not to participate in the test. Let me say that I don't think you will vote for a conservative presidential candidate. Sorry you didn't want to play, I think everyone could have learned something.

Are the questions left-brain, right-brain questions? Such tests already exist.

Modest, don't bother to take the test. I already know about you. You and Freeztar are soul brothers. If you want to know your opinion, ask him his.

A left brain, right brain test? They are widely available - I was just looking for one to take. I'm honestly curious because my first 2 years in college were for engineering, but I switched majors and finished in architecture which is very artistic. I've had this discussion with a group of people from my dorm when I switched majors. We honestly couldn't come to the conclusion of which side of my brain was dominant. I am looking for a convincing-looking online test now. I'm glad you already know - I don't have a clue.

Also, thank you for the compliment. I've found freeztar to be very helpful since I became a member a short time ago. I would have nothing but the best to say about him - obviously a credit to hypography.

Honestly, thank you,

***You Are 65% Left Brained, 35% Right Brained***


The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.

The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

And I'll be voting for Barack Obama, if I get the chance

Another interesting brain duality is the cerebral and the cerebellum. The cerebral is about twice the size of the cerebellum. The cerebellum is located at the bottom back of the brain closer to the brain stem. It is responsible for processing movement of muscles to help smooth movement out. If we didn't have the cerebellum we would walk like robots. The cerebellum makes us smoother and is the processor that is lacking in robotic movement.

From that simple contrast one might conclude that people with better muscle control, such as athletes have better cerebellum development. Things like singing and dancing would benefit by better cerebellum development. Just as it is hard to develop the left and right sides of the brain equally, with people excelling in one side, it is also possible cerebral and cerebellum development is also unequally developed in most people. One can stereo type this contrast as the jock who doesn't do good at school but scores touch downs. Or the nerd that can't catch a ball but wins the science fair.

Speaking, being due to muscle control, is benefits by the cerebellum. Many deep thinkers often don't have much to say since they stay cerebral and may not work out the cerebellum enough to speak long without effort. While people who talk too much, often don't think before speaking. But there are also those who can use both and carry out an intelligent conversation.

A politician needs good speaking-cerebellum development to talk endlessly. They typically have staff writers and advisors to do the bulk of the cerebral processing for them. But on the other hand, many of the writers and advisors don't have the verbal-cerebellum to be spokesman. It takes a team effort to get one entire virtual brain.

Though I feel the same way, modest, I'll live by your moniker and not respond except for the tip of my hat.

I was administered this test by a practicing psychologist when I was in high school. I've since taken several online tests and have found that my results are generally consistent. On a scale of 1-10, I average around 4.6. Converting that to percentages equals 64% left brained and 46% right brained. Maybe we are "soul brothers"?

And I'll be voting for Barack Obama, if I get the chance

Funny you should say that.
I'm leaning towards Barack and will most likely vote for him in the upcoming primary. I'll amend my decision for final presidential candidate as research warrants and electoral certainty surfaces.

But, seeing as we are "soul brothers", we are obviously just contiguously-arranged outlying data.
