Are You Right-Brained Or Left-Brained?

We use both hemispheres of our brain, but theory has it that one side is usually dominant. Take this quiz to see if you favor your right or left brain.

The test is free, and you can even see your basic results without entering an email address. If you’d like a more detailed report TestCafe offers one for $8.99.

I took the test and according to the results I am predominantly left brained.

Here is the breakdown of my score:

Your percentage score for the left brain is 60%.
Your percentage score for the right brain is 40%.

I’m not too surprised as I can’t draw, paint, sculpt or create anything resembling art. I love math, science and can spend the entire day doing research. My scores are somewhat close together, so I would assume that’s why I am a daydreamer and don’t wear a watch. (Of course these are all my musings and have no scientific basis.)

Take the test and leave a comment with your score. Does it match your personality?

    I remember doing this test almost 6 years ago, or so, and it turned out to be %60 – %40, my right being the most dominate. It suprised me to see %51 – %50. And to everyone who is dominate on their right side.. no need to worry.. I still have trouble with math, but math isn’t the mass spectrum of the left side of the brain, so achieving both balances won’t be a daunting task. :)

    You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the “whole” picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge.

    Erin, it seems we have similar mindset.

    Hi Alice! Thank you so much for your comment. I received an email from another reader who also tested 50/50. I am so envious of the balance you have. I hope you enjoy it here and come back often. :-)

    Peoples that haven’t a brain dominance exist and i am 50% right brained and 50% left brained. All 5 text that i have done said this, and one of test has been test that you have linked.
    I love science too and somethimes i spend all day for research too, and day after i draw all day. I’m able to think both in words and pictures. i am day dreamer and i am logic at the same time. I’m right handed with cross dominance. I think those things are really interested, i like to explore human mind and to use my knowledges for create my characters.
