    Well, I like reading, quiet, daydreaming and philosophy, so I guess it’s probably not that far off.

    Oh dear, seems as I’ve become softer with age…

    And I’m definitely a cat person!

    Okay, apparently we are all dog people. I think the person who wrote this quiz was a dog person.

    55% left 45% right

    damn. I think that makes me pretty wishy washy

    Or well-balanced?

    I’m like everybody else here…

    “You Are 35% Left Brained, 65% Right Brained”

    I always knew I was right brained..I just didn’t know the extent.

    I write and play several musical instruments (not well, but as any woman, I can fake anything!!!) but that’s the extent of my artistic abilities.

    Painting? Nope…can’t even draw conclusions.

    So how would you define ‘artistic abilities’, Laurie?

    And welcome! It’s always nice to see a new face (though I do know yours a bit from lurking on your blog).

    My writing is my art–I’m just not artistic in the areas of drawing or painting.

    Thanks for the warm welcome.

    I plan on going to Spain some day. I have in inexplicable kinship with all things Latin.

    well balanced? oh that sounds so much nicer than wishy washy

    I’m 85% right brained. That basically means that my logic department is empty and creativity department is open.

    I’d say that’s a relief to know. I was expecting the test to give me something like “Error!: You’re brainless!” :P

    I refuse to participate on the grounds that the quiz perpetuates a neurological myth. :P

    Spoilsport! :razz:

    I am definitely more left brained but do have some right brain in me too. Hah! I was right! I just took the test. 75% left brained 25% right brained. I know myself so well. Great post!!!!

    I tried to take the quiz, but gave up midway. I mean, hey I’m both Mathematical and Musical.. how do I choose between that? So as His Geeked Up Mightiness, the [future] Emperor of the World, I declare that I am Big brained with Geek[R] Technology. :P

    So I took a test kinda like this before, and it said I was a balanced brain. At first, I was like, yay, i have characteristics of both sides, so I thought that was a good thing. But then my friend said that being a balanced brain means that you’re good at anything. See being a left brain, you have talent at that area, and dido for right. But for balanced brain, thats not good. What do you guys think?

    Hi MTN and welcome. :)

    Hmmm, I’d say that was a totally subjective call.
