Cyndy, you show a slight right-hemisphere dominance with a moderate preference for auditory processing, an unusual and somewhat paradoxical combination of characteristics.
You are drawn to a random and sometimes nonchalant synthesis of material. You learn as it seems important to a specific situation, and might even develop a resentment of others who attempt to direct your learning down a specific channel. - Discussion Forum: A Whole New Mind

Left Brain Right Brain Creativity Test

The Art Institute of Vancouver features a Left Brain Right Brain Creativity Test which you can take for free here.
This is what they say about the test:
Being creative or artistic doesn't mean you know how to draw or play an instrument. Being creative is a way of thinking, a way of viewing the world.
Creative people use the RIGHT side of their brains more than the LEFT. Take the test and find out if your brain is RIGHT for a creative career.
Bicameral Images Reveal The Two Sides of Our Self -- Why the Left and Right Side of Our Face Are Different

An article called Left Brain Right Brain (imagine the letters for right brain as seen in a mirror and you'll have it) written by Dan Eden sheds some light on the role of facial anatomy with regard to the left brain right brain phenomenon.
The article starts this way:
" bicameral (bi-kam-ê-ral) adj. having two legislative chambers.
Bicameral Images reveal our two selves.
Okay, I made up the term, but it fits so well in describing an extremely interesting phenomenon that many people may not realize -- each of us is really two people. No, I don't mean in the traditional sense of having an alter-ego, or a good and bad side. Nor do I mean that we are all schizoids. I mean we are literally two thinking beings residing in the same body.
Like the infomercials say -- "Wait! There's more!"
Follow along on this adventure. I won't disappoint either of you!
About ten years ago, I saw an interesting exercise in which a college psychology professor had taken photographs of her students, made copies that were flipped left to right, and then had them cut in half vertically. She reassembled the images using the two similar sides of the face.
Which Nixon would You buy a used car from?

The picture of Nixon's left+left at the far left.
The center is is the normal, original portrait.
The picture of nixon's right+right is on the right.
A quick way to do this is to place a small mirror perpendicular to a photograph showing a good front face view. As you look into the mirror you can form a whole face from the reflection of either side.
The difference is obvious.
The composite pictures were humorous. Although the individuals were easily recognizable, their facial expressions seemed to express exaggerated emotions, like anger, suspicion, or happiness -- and occasionally a look of total blankness. Even more interesting was the observation that the two sides of the same face were often so different. Why?
This exercise seemed to suggest that, while a handful of people have symmetrical faces, a vast majority of us do not. Also it raised the possibility that each side of our face could express different emotions at the same time! Subsequent research into facial expressions and the workings of the human brain has offered an interesting theory that not only explains this left and right difference in facial expressions, but could help us to understand our "other self."

Make Your Brain Better with Lumosity Scientific Brain Training
The top brain training site on the Internet right now!
The brain needs care just like the body!
In a study funded by the National Institute of Health, scientists found that memory, reasoning and processing speed can be improved by brain training. Moreover, they found that cognitive improvements persisted for at least five years. Lumosity is a scientifically designed brain training program.
Based on the concept of neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to learn and physically adapt given appropriate stimuli - brain games and exercises are engineered to train and improve:
- memory
- attention
- processing speed
- cognitive control
Lumosity brain training program has been shown to improve memory and attention in randomized, controlled clinical trials. The development and testing of Lumosity was guided by some of the leading scientists in neuroscience, cognitive psychology and bioinformatics.

Are You Left-Brained or Right-Brained?
Here is another new and differt left-brain right brain test by Assessment.Com, a psychology testing website that features the MAPP Assessment. a test that helps individuals find their true motivations towards work.
The test used here is called The Brain Type Test. The Types are based on the various characteristics associated specifically with each hemisphere of the brain.
This test produces results unique to each individual's own left and right hemispheres. Many of the methods used here were pioneered by Dr. Roger Sperry's research on brain lateralization, for which he won a Nobel Prize in 1981.p> The developers of this test believe that most people can be classified as being left-brained or right-brained.

Here is an excerpt from the desciption of this very short (10 question) quiz on Lifescript.com.The left & right brain functions are responsible for apparent differences in people and the way they process information. Whether you use your left brain and right brain together or have a dominant half explains alot about how you learn and express yourself. Although many people think artists are right-brained, this isn't always the case. For example, some artists plot out their painting long before the first brush stroke, which would indicate left-brained planning. So enjoy this fun quiz!

More about Left Brain Right Brain
Definition
This theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different "modes" of thinking. It also suggests that each of us prefers one mode over the other.

Discussion
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:
Left Brain
Right Brain
Logical
Sequential
Rational
Analytical
Objective
Looks at parts Random
Intuitive
Holistic
Synthesizing
Subjective
Looks at wholes
Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the intuitive, artistic and flowing process of thought.

Lateralization of brain function on Wikipedia
A longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum. The sides resemble each other and each hemisphere's structure is generally mirrored by the other side. Yet despite the strong similarities, the functions of each cortical hemisphere are different.
Popular psychology tends to make broad and sometimes pseudoscientific generalizations about certain functions (e.g. logic, creativity) being lateral, that is, located in either the right or the left side of the brain. Researchers often criticize popular psychology for this, because the popular lateralizations often are distributed across both hemispheres, Western et al. 2006 "Psychology: Austraian and New Zealand edition" John Wiley p.107 although mental processing is divided...

Left Brain, Right Brain for the Nintendo DS

Left Brain, Right Brain for the Nintendo DS
Start with this simple exercise. Take out a pen and a blank piece of paper. Now write your name down using your normal writing hand. The picture looks pretty good doesn't it? Ok, now switch the pen to your other hand and try to write your name again. If the second result looks like it was scrawled by a five year old, then you may be like the majority of people afflicted with an pronounced lack of ambidexterity.

The gameplay is straightforward and resembles the blockbuster Nintendo hit Brain Age Also like Brain Age, you are you are periodically tested and your improvement is charted over time. When you first perform any of the tasks, you will be asked to use your dominant hand to provide a benchmark for your non-dominant hand. After that, you are to perform the same task again, only this time, you switch hands.
Control is via stylus only and you need to prepare yourself to turn around the DS several times during the initiate setup stage. All exercises utilize the touch screen to the maximum effect. The touch screen is responsive and recognizes most inputs correctly.
