Utterly stealing this from Anria, and since I've forogtten to hunt down the link if you want to steal it you'll have to take it off her too!

Minerva, you possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing.

Yep, so far so good. I'm almost ambidextrous, but I lean towards right-handed. If I'd learnt to write left-handed, I'd be left-handed, but they stuck the pencil in my right hand and away I went. Actually, there's a good way of testing natural leanings. Blinfold a person and let them walk in what they think is a striaght line. They'll slowly edge towards thir dominant side. Also, when most people think they're making a competely random decision about which way to turn, htey'll turn towards their dominant side. So now you know.

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.

Like what I'm hearing so far ^_^

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."

I'm mostly an all rounder, but these seems a little like it's ppndering to my ego. i.e. I hope insanely accurate and from a personal, egotistal point of view it sounds spot on, but it's probably not.

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.

I hate second-guesing myself. Once I've made a decision I refuse to go back and wonder what would have happened if I'd chosen the other way, though I'm open minded enough to change my mind repeatedly. And I'm generally very content with myself. Well, my internal self, anyway.

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.

I wonder if it's relevant that I occasionally think in paragraphs. I actually visualise my internal dialogue as written word, complete with font size, positioning and paragraph breaks. It's not often, but it's not intentional either.

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.

Yup, don't always listen as well as I should. Same goes for reading, actually. If someone's giving instrucitons I rely on my own ability to work out what to do, not always a good thing. I ought to work on it. yes.


Just been invited to go and see a film with friends. While i'd love to see friends, it's really not a film I want to see. I don't like comedies, and it's that one with Queen Latifah and the dappy guy, whatshisname... 'Bringing Down the House', the film is, I think, called. I know I'm generaalising, but I've seen the adverts and I can not stand films that use embarrassment-humour. If we watch one at home I can not sit through it.

So, go and see film and cringe throughout, or make excuses. Excuses including bus, money, lack of people to tell I'm going out, getting home again... I really do want to see my friends, but i relaly don't want to see this film. Since they didn't tell me where they are, I can't just pop in to say hi and leave again (plus that would be something of a waste of money, what with ridiculously expensive bus fare).

Argh! Decisions decisions! After all that waffle about being good at making them, I really can't. I've said I'd go, so i ought to make the effort, but definitely reluctant.

I won't go. Decided. Not spending money on film I don't want to see, even if I haven't seen fJ and the others for several weeks. I'll see them all on Thursday anyway, and since no one's home I ought to stick around. Now to phone and apologise.

I really hate calling people. Have I mentioned that? I have a complete phobia of phoning people, though I do prefer calling mobile phones to landlines. there's only one friend I don't mind calling, and I've known her since I was four. Literally everyone else, I cringe, I put it off, I try and talkother people into calling... I'm not even entierlyr sure why. i don't like people i don't know answering, but that's not realy reason enough.

Ironically enough, i don't think any buses are running anyway. I haven't seen one go past for almost an hour now.

(so that's what LJs are useful for, making decisions)

You know that IQ test thing, buried amoungst all the other tests in my previous post? I'm a Visionary Philospopher, and most visionary philosophers crave chocolate, 57% of them reaching for it when hunger strikes. I find myself thinking that perhaps most visionary philosophers are also women.
