Some lean more to the right side and some more to the left side, but definitely both. The unusual exception would be the person who leans heavily on one side without giving credence to the other side.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.Samantha Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764092383245823784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-32565466746730880772015-01-26T13:06:57.462-06:002015-01-26T13:06:57.462-06:00Cool quiz, Samantha, but it left me scratching my ...Cool quiz, Samantha, but it left me scratching my head because I tend to switch back and forth. My graduate degree is in finance and accounting and I taught high school Algebra and was a Financial Analyst. But my very first loves are writing and history. So, I guess not clear cut for me, either.<br />HebbyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715753558320601920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-53967395667828341032015-01-25T09:59:07.264-06:002015-01-25T09:59:07.264-06:00Mary: So true...John Grisham and Scott Turow are ...Mary: So true...John Grisham and Scott Turow are both attorneys, Robin Cooke and Michael Crichton are both medical doctors. Yet all 4 of these practitioners of logical, pragmatic, and methodical professions are also successful novelists.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.

To be totally left brained and only relate to the logical and methodical, that person wouldn't be able to appreciate music, art, literature or even the beauty of a glorious sunset. Same concept for someone totally right brained, they wouldn't be able to deal with the details of modern society [such as computers :)].<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br />Samantha Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764092383245823784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-61154385521002735952015-01-25T09:45:45.906-06:002015-01-25T09:45:45.906-06:00Very interesting quiz, Samantha.

And I know several successful fiction writers who were engineers and even scientists, so you really can't stereotype writers as right-brained.

That's probably because I was using the wrong side of my brain at the time. :) Fun post, really enjoyed it.Lynda Cokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347693282823375950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-89325341899910992412015-01-25T06:57:59.273-06:002015-01-25T06:57:59.273-06:00I think these quizzes are fun, but don't put m...I think these quizzes are fun, but don't put much stock in the conclusions. My truth is in the middle, which you also noted in your intro. I suspect most people are a combo. Assigning people labels puts them in a box, which isn't scientific- it's a control issue.Ashantayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16122891967983778466noreply@blogger.com
