Mind Games

I've jumped on the bandwagon of journalists (or is it bloggists?) who have taken the brain usage quiz. I've always had a little interest in psychology. Here's my results:

Auditory: 31%

Visual: 68%

Left: 44%

Right: 55%

Rob, 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 seems accurate. I might do it again just to see if I get different results. I seemed to focus on A answers as if the first answer (by just being first) influenced me. I'm not sure what that says about me.

As for the weekend, well, I just worked twelve in half hours in overtime this week. Bleah. I have to wait until next weekend to get a full day off. I got some writing done, though. I worked a bit on the novel and I worked on the story I plan on workshopping at the Strange Horizons workshop.

I got a nice rejection from Third Alternative the other day. I'm now picking the next market for Pieces Of Us From The Earth.
