Left brained right brained and creativity

An interesting test on right brained and left brained learning (though they're positioning it as a test of creativity where creativity = right brained... not sure I buy that!).  But, the results are interesting as they break out different aspects of Left Brain and Right Brain...

Here's their description of Left Brained and Right Brained:

Left brained aspects:


  • Linear
  • Sequential
  • Symbolic
  • Logical
  • Verbal
  • Reality-based

Right Brain aspects

  • Holistic
  • Random
  • Concrete
  • Intuitive
  • Nonverbal
  • Fantasy-oriented

These are in the order I tested -- interestingly, I was about 60% left brain, 40% right brain -- dominant linear LB but holistic RB -- so my approach is a linear parts to whole processing of pieces of information in a holistic manner -- yep, that about sums me up!

AND here's another link with an interesting blog post about using left brain and right brain tendencies in art -- how there's a place for both approaches.
