This is not a scientific test but it will give you a general understanding of your brain dominance, either you are Right Brained or Left Brained. Freed et al has created a learning style inventory as below.

Please answer ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ to the following questions.

1. Are you better at remembering faces than names?
2. When you’re presented with a toy or piece of furniture to assemble, are you likely to discard the printed directions and figure out how to build it yourself?
3. Are you better at thinking of ideas if you’re left to concentrate rather than working with a group?
4. Do you rely mostly on pictures to remember things, as opposed to names and words?
5. Do you have especially acute hearing?
6. Do you cut labels out of clothes? Do you favor garments that are especially soft and well- worn, finding most clothing too rough or scratchy?
7. Do you tend to put yourself down a lot?
8. When you’re asked to spell a word, do you ‘see’ it in your head rather than sound it out phonetically?
9. When you’re studying a subject, do you prefer to get the ‘big picture’ as opposed to learning a lot of facts?
10. Are you good with puzzles and mazes?
11. Can you imagine things well in three dimensions? In other words, can you visualize a cube in your mind, rotate it, and view it from every angle without difficulty?
12. Were you considered a late bloomer?
13. Did you need to like your teacher to do well in his or her class?
14. Are you easily distracted to the point that you find yourself daydreaming a lot?
15. Are you a perfectionist to the point that it gets in the way of trying new things?
16. Are you ultra-competitive, hating to lose more than most people do?
17. Are you good at figuring people out? Do others tell you that you’re good at ‘reading’ people? Is your handwriting below average or poor?
18. Is your handwriting below average or poor?
19. Were you a late walker or did you have other delayed motor skills as a child?
20. When you’re in a new place do you tend to find your way around easily?

The more YES responses you have the more right brained you will be.

• 0-4 yes answers indicate you’re very left brained,
• 5-8 somewhat left brained,
• 9-12 whole brained,
• 13-16, somewhat right brained, and
• 17-20 very right brained.
