 Post subject: Right Brain vs. Left Brain ThinkingPosted: Mon Feb 15, 2010 4:58 pm 
I'm kinda interested in what percentage of the LCers are right brain or left brain dominant...I know for sure I'm right brain dominant...like almost all the way This site has info on each: http://www.angelfire.com/wi/2brains/ I'd say I'm right brain dominant because I'm not good with words or getting my ideas across with words, I'm musically inclined, I'm creative, and governed by my emotions. I usually don't think before I say things and I'm also into art. I know I'm a dreamer and am also random...definitely absent minded...but it's funny how much right brain domination is like ADD...I have ADD haha Left brain dominant people are more introverted...and more like those people who are classified as 'smart' in school...that's what my younger sister is, but I am what I am...She keeps her room orderly and neat, I've always preferred things to be slightly messy But i think this is very interesting...everyone's in between, but they're also dominated by one side and it should be pretty easy to tell _________________ Kneel before your god Babylon!

Post subject: Edit: Oh, there was a quiz??? Posted: Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:52 am
I remember being told in grade school the side of your body you favor indicates the dominant side of your brain. It may not have been accurate,but I'm right handed, so there you go. My honest opinion is that most of the attributes they use to determine brain dominance differ before and after puberty, and blunt force trauma. ~~~~~~~~~~~TOOK THE QUIZ~~~~~~~~~~~~ It didn't really apply in some cases, but anyway: L= 10 R= 8 Left brain by a narrow margin. My Grade school teachers simple way of telling was all the deductive reasoning needed after all. _________________ yup, that's my name.

Eh, I don't know to be honest. That is a pretty simplified way of looking at the brain however. _________________ patrock wrote: Grandma: What are you thankful for?

Women use both sides of their brain at once. Men can only use one at a time. It's a fact. Crazy. |

Just look at my answers: 
I expected it to be right, because I am right handed and I am more comfortable sitting on the right side of desks and things like that. |

Wait, I thought it was the side opposite of your dominant hand that was the dominant brain side. Aw, whatever. I just did this in psych and I don't think it's really accurate. On an unrelated note, I'm super stoked for when our class watches this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg6qcgoay4 Just watch the video. Don't read the side or the comments. _________________ Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. Oscar Wilde |

As for the Gender thing, what about people who are transgendered then??? Which side of their brain is dominant eh??? _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

I thought it had something to do with which hand you wrote with, but then we'd be a world filled with many, many logical thinkers and very few creative thinkers _________________ Kneel before your god Babylon!

^unless people were socialized to strive to be contrary and individual; then changed their behavior from what came natural to the opposite in a myriad of ways across cultures to validate their egos and need to self -actualize because it felt illogical to live unacknowledged as part of a collective when you have desires to be accepted as an individual.

No. http://www.sfu.ca/~dkimura/articles/britan.htm Yeah, that's not a reliable source for me. I'm in a Sex and Gender Psychology class and we talked about that last week. "Female-Male differences in lateralization are small, with sex accounting for only 1 to 2% of differences in lateralization." - Hiscock et al., (1994). Is there a sex difference in human laterality? I. An exhaustive survey of auditory laterality studies from six neuropsychology journals. Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 16, 423-435. Also, quoting from my textbook: "Clearly, research in this area is not yet at the stage at which it can be cited with confidence to prove or disprove the hypothesis of greater male than female lateralization." As well, just to let you know, people claim that greater lateralization of males equates to superior processing ability, so I'm not sure why you're arguing the point in the first place... _________________ patrock wrote: Grandma: What are you thankful for?
