I like Uncle Wayne's "experiments," so....are you right or left brained?

Question

Or do you use both sides equally? Unlike his questions, mine probably doesn't have too much research backing it up....but I think there may be a correlation between how religious a person is and the side of their brain that is dominant.

Answer 1

Hello "Kkings" - I am left handed, and I have read that left-handed folks use the right side of their brains. I am a self-read Christian. (I was a substitute Baptist Preacher for about 10 years) I try to follow Jesus' instructions in his actual quotes in the Bible. I am suspicious of all other Bible verses. I am not sure how I would be classified strong religious or simply born again into a personality of forgiving others.

PS: I will check out that website "metalic" mentioned, and let you know.

Answer 2

I'm left brained, but the right brain was almost as dominant. I wasn't sure so I went to this site and took the test there:

To answer the second part. I am not what one would call religious. But I am very spiritual.

Answer 3

the Buddha uses the mandala as do the Hindus and shamans that is a balanced position ...Left = Right side ...its fascinating to learn to understand spirituality .

Davinci a was right Brain left handed and this inflicted his math application of the spiritual ( left and right )

In the Bible when giving alms one doesn't give notice to what the left hand and the right is doing ,(meaning because it is spiritual , a movement of The soul not academic .)

William Blake the divine artist , said " experience life dont be someones experiment ( as is ego)

Answer 4

I like to think both parts play an important role in my life ;)

while brain functions are indeed lateralized—these lateralizations are trends and do not apply to every person in every case. Short of having undergone a hemispherectomy (the removal of an entire cerebral hemisphere) there are no "left-brained" or "right-brained" people.

Answer 5

I am left handed which tends to indicate that I am right brained. I am not much of an artsy type person. I tend to be more analytical. I have degrees in computer programming. All signs of being right brained. But still, I have a deep and abiding faith in Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

I make what I call "right-brain leaps" in which I arrive at the conclusion without much awareness of the steps to get there. I'm often wrong.

Answer 7

According to the blogthings quiz another person posted, I am 60% right brained (if this is accurate, it makes sense. I'm a writer by profession and a trained musician, so I'm definitely the "artsy" type).
