Title: Right or Left Brained?
Post by: Jimmy on April 02, 2012, 02:23:55 AM
Which are you more of?

Can you elaborate on the subject and explain the differences?

Sure!!! I'm merely being silly and playful and want to know if you consider yourself more "Left" brained(logical/rational) or "Right" brained( creative/abstract). It's a fun question, a way to get to know people a little better :)

Is there scientific evidence for this? o_o

I'm left brain oriented, but that has never stopped me from trying and failing at right brain activities.

Since I'm right-handed, I assume I'm more rather than less left-brained.

I'd be only too happy if any part of my brain were still functioning.  :'(

I'm right handed, but I fancy myself more right brained.  I'm so creative, everyone look at me, being creative.  That sort of thing.

I'm right handed too. I sort of "switch" modes and move between creative and logical, if that makes any sense.  :P

Both halves of Asmobrain are functioning within the optimal range.

LOL!  :D

Eh, I used to be a lot more right brained, I'd write, paint, build stuff, do crafts etc for hours. I was also a lot more into faith/spirituality/the 'big' philosophical questions etc, always thinking of random abstract kinds of topics. I think I've somehow changed over the years. I'm still maybe creative in some ways, and I still like to think about abstract stuff, but more and more logic/rational types of thinking and interests have crept in over the years. Maybe I'm a mix of both. I dunno. I was ambidextrous as a little kid but I'd become a lefty by the time I was in 4th or 5th grade.

Then again my family's always telling me I drive them nuts with the crazy philosophy ideas I yammer about, LOL, so I guess I still have some right-brainedness in me. You know what they say. "Left handed people are in their right minds." In my case though, that has ZILCH to do with sanity. ;)

I guess an ambidextrous agnostic bisexual wouldn't just STRADDLE the fence, they'd OWN it.  ;D

Both, hopefully.  ;D

The damn two sides need to learn how to work together better.  :-\

I'm probably a pretty even mix of both with a little more weight towards the right.  If it correlates to which hand is dominant; I use to try to use my left hand till I was encouraged to use my right.  I'm not sure if I actually have a dominant hand since I can do things with my left hand; the right hand is just better trained.  I might be ambidextrous.

Post by: Jimmy on April 03, 2012, 04:37:58 AM
Great!! We have a little bit of both in here: Toot Toot!!

I am a strange breed :p In college it was difficult to do just science or just art. I had to do both! One semester I took Western Humanities, Immunology, Statistics, and Figure Drawing. Nice mix, huh? I honestly don't know too many people that are strongly into biology and art, usually they're either or. I'm still into both; if I do too much science I get REALLY bored and the same if I do too much art. Go figure...
Title: Re: Right or Left Brained?
Post by: Sweetdeath on April 03, 2012, 05:26:22 AM
I can do everything but math. :<

And for the most part, I am dominate right hand, but still use my left a lot. I draw, write, pretty good hand/eye coordinations with videogames.

I LARP/RP - but I suck at being dungeon master. :(

Maybe I was wrong. I'm right handed, so maybe I am right-brain dominate. I did go to catholic school though, and although the nuns did not beat us for writing with our left hand, they still taught it was a sign of the devil... or something similar. I also wrote poetry as a teen, most of it awful. I do think abstractly sometimes, but not exactly creatively. I can't play any instruments or carry a tune. I can't really do anything artistic, but can think outside the box. I also like history and english, hate math, and respect science, though I'm not strong in the sciences.

Am I most likely a mix of the too?

Oh you role play! That sounds like fun(I do that with my kiddo and get maybe a little too into it as I dive over furniture and roll around on the floor :p ) I'm right handed and can barely do anything with my left either.

What do you like drawing?

You find a lot of people that are both into science and art, especially biology.
