My brain usage profile: insights into how I blog

Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to “catch up” with yourself.

…you can “size up” situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to “lose touch” with the immediacy of the problem.

Finally, someone understands me! You know, one of the reasons I don’t write more is because, just like this snippet of my brain usage profile indicates, I will rapidly take in a bunch of information, but when I go to organize it and classify it (this usually happens when I begin formulating a blog post), I grow agitated and uncertain–like the part of my brain that’s thinking is light-years beyond the part of my brain that’s typing, and it’s too late to catch up.

I’ve considered rambling into a cassette recorder and then transcribing and editing, but that seems like an awful lot of work. I dunno; I guess now that I’ve mentioned it here I’ll have to do it.

And hey, set aside a few minutes to take the test and see how your own brain works. It’s fun! Well, okay, it got a bit tedious toward the end. But it’s fun reading the results.
