It's funny - this inadvertently made most of you "reveal" your real names.

How odd. Mine matches an0n's.

Justin, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.

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.

Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. 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.

Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you "learn from experience" and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.

You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the "larger whole."

With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can "see where you want to go" and even be able to "tell yourself," but find that you are "fighting yourself" at the darndest times.
 

This sounds like me

Well they're not exactly the most astute bunch.

And I almost never use my real name on the net, especially not while doing some ****ty net-quiz. If I must, I go by Arturo Fox because it sounds feckin cool.

Not like my name's much of a secret though. Seen as anyone could just whois any one of my domains and get my address and phone number and ****. But I suppose anyone smart enough to do that would also be smart enough to realise that phoning me would mean I'd get their number too.

Hmmmm. One of you admin types should force Styxx to add a Real Name thing to everyone's Profiles.

[diamondgeezer]

They wanted names and adresses for the new HLP, IIRC. Told them that wouldn't go down well.

[an0n]

Addresses, I can understand, but who the **** gives a damn about the 'tards here knowing their real name?

And from the looks of it, if anyone wanted their name for some malicious purpose it wouldn't exactly take a rocket scientist to trick it from them.

[phreak]

phreak, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant with a balanced preference for auditory and visual inputs. Because of your "centrist" tendencies, the distinctions between various types of brain usage are somewhat blurred.

Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor, unless it requires total spontaneity and ability to improvise, your weaker traits. However, you are far from rigid or overcontrolled. You possess a degree of individuality, perceptiveness, and trust in your intuition to function at much more sophisticated levels than most.

Having given sufficient attention to detail, you can readily perceive the larger aspects and implications of a situation or of learning. You are functional and practical, but can blend abstraction and theory into your framework readily.

The equivalence of your auditory and visual learning orientation gives you two equally effective sensory input systems, each with distinctive features. You can process both unidimensionally and multidimen- sionally with equal facility. When needed, you sequence material while at other times you "intake it all" and store it for processing later.

Your natural ability to use your senses is also synthesized in your way of learning. You can be reflective in your approach, absorbing material in a non-aggressive manner, and at other times voracious in seeking out stimulation and experience.

Overall you tend to be somewhat more critical of yourself than is necessary and avoid enjoying life too much because of a sense of duty. You feel somewhat constrained and tend to sometimes restrict your expressiveness. In any given situation, you will opt for the rational, and learning of almost any type should be easy for you. You might need certain ideas explained to you in order to fit them into your scheme of things, but you're at least open to that!

meh.  it was slightly off in some cases.  i don't know how it gauges auditory learning when there is no sound involved

It's all about the brain.

Mauri, you are one of those rare individuals who are perfectly "balanced" in both your hemispheric tendencies and your sensory learning preferences. However, there is both good news and bad news.

A problem with hemispheric balance is that you will tend to feel more conflict than someone who has a clearly established dominance. At times the conflict will be between what you feel and what you think but will also involve how you attack problems and how you perceive information. Details which will seem important to the right hemis- phere will be discounted by the left and vice versa, which can present a hindrance to learning efficiently.

In the same vein, you may have a problem with organization. You might organize your time and/or space only to feel the need to reorganize five to ten weeks later.

On the positive side, you bring resources to problem-solving that others may not have. You can perceive the "big picture" and the essential details simultaneously and maintain the cognitive perspective required. You possess sufficient verbal skills to translate your intuition into a form which can be understood by others while still being able to access ideas and concepts which do not lend themselves to language.

Your balanced nature might lead you to second-guess yourself in artistic endeavors, losing some of the fluidity, spontaneity and creativity that otherwise would be yours.

With your balanced sensory styles, you process data alternately, at times visually and other times auditorially. This usage of separate memories may cause you to require more time to integrate information or re-access it. When presented with situations which force purely visual or purely auditory learning, increased anxiety is likely and your learning efficiency will decrease.

Your greatest benefit is that you can succeed in multiple fields due to the great plasticity and flexibility you possess.

Illogical in my opinion. :thepimp:

See what I mean? The first part's overgeneralized- hell, I feel the need to reorganize every "five to ten weeks", and it's a good thing too because that's about how long I get before the accumulated heaps of random broken electronics start seriously threatening to collapse and do me a serious injury. Second part is used, in one form or another, in every single profile.

Bah.

You know, I thought of you on the bus en route to work today. I saw a road named "Seigfried Moses".

[Windrunner]

Its strange that most of you guys are left-hemisphere dominant , i am a slight right-hemisphere dominant

[Stryke 9]

Seigfried would be an awesome name.

I think I need to start collecting kickass first names, and just adding them onto my own. Make the name line in my papers run a paragraph, if nothing else.

[Knight Templar]

Good luck with that.

And make sure Tobias is in there.

You've love some of the "native" names around here. Especially this one (2nd para of main email).

[Bobboau]

ah Israel, the only contry in the world were a reporter can walk up to a major political leader, say "Mr Penis, may I have a word with you?", and not be escorted out of the room for being snide.

[Knight Templar]

Mr. Beavers and Mr. Penis. I'd laugh if it didn't hurt so much.

Oh, happy 5,000th bob.
