Quiz via Kiss me, I'm Catholic
Brainworks Profile
(Click here to test yourself) Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 26%
Visual : 73%
Left : 42%
Right : 57%
(I would never have put myself at being that visual - but I am certainly not auditory so I guess they are right on that one. I would rather read than listen, that is for sure)

alicia, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing.

Since neither of these is completely centered, you lack the indecision and second-guessing associated with other patterns. You have a distinct preference for creativity and intuition with seemingly sufficient verbal skills to be able to translate in any meaningful way to yourself and others.

You tend to see things in "wholes" without surrendering the ability to attend to details. You can give them sufficient notice to be able to utitlize and incorporate them as part of an overall pattern.

In the same way, while you are active and process information simultaneously, you demonstrate a capacity for sequencing as well as reflection which allows for some "inner dialogue."

All in all, you are likely to be quite content with yourself and your style although at times it will not necessarily be appreciated by others. You have sufficient confidence to not second-guess yourself, but rather to use your critical faculties in a way that enhances, rather than limits, your creativity.

You can learn in either mode although far more efficiently within the visual mode. It is likely that in listening to conversations or lecture materials you simultaneously translate into pictures which enhance and elaborate on the meaning.

It is most likely that you will gravitate towards those endeavors which are predominantly visual but include some logic or structuring. You may either work particularly hard at cultivating your auditory skills or risk "missing out" on being able to efficiently process what you learn. Your own intuitive skills will at times interfere with your capacity to listen to others, which is something else you may need to take into account.

This really was an interesting quiz! I would have thought I'd be much more visual but was 50-50.

By the way, I'm sorry I missed your birthday. Hope it was a good one! :-)

I came out at 55% auditory, which doesn't surprise me. Posted the results over at my blog - it's neat how everyone is so different! : )

I was:
Your Brain Usage Profile:

Auditory : 53%
Visual : 46%
Left : 46%
Right : 53%

I think that's off though bec I am completely incapable of comprehending verbal instructions, I have to read them myself.

I was surprisingly more auditory than visual...thought I was the other way around! LOL! I am also way more right-brained, which apparently made an "interesting" combination when coupled with the auditory. Anyway, the summary was that I would be best suited for pursuits in philosophy (my college major), writing (my interest, though I'm by no means good at it), instruction (well, I DO homeschool), or social work (HUH???)

Oh, and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

Here's mine:

I'm not surprised by that. When I read the in depth profile, I thought it was pretty much on the mark for me!
