AOL posted a ten question quiz to determine if you’re a right brain or a left brain thinker — then a few jobs to consider based on your results.
I took the quiz and discovered I’m an even split. No wonder I never chose a career, just a college major. The rest was serendipity.
I’ve worked in human resources…and in sales/marketing. But I think I could have been happy as a grant writer…or a librarian. Left, right. Right, left.
No wonder I’m never totally satisfied with any career. But I like writing fiction and making things up as I go. So, right brain thinker, right?!?
For fun, take the quiz and share your results. After I took the quiz, I offered to do some grant writing on a volunteer basis just to see if I like it. Maybe the quiz will give you some new ideas, too. Overall, how useful do you think this type of quiz is?

According to the quiz, I'm a left brain thinker with some right-brain tendency.
I think these things are entertaining but not much use in telling you who you are. At least that is my experience.

I had 7 left-brain answers and 3 right-brainers. Not sure what that means. Most of the time I daydream anyway.
That was fun... I was slit 6-4 as a Right-Brainer. I've always thought writing fiction took a good balance of both right and left. It's creative and imaginative, but also requires a lot of detail work, decision making, and problem solving.
Fun post, Lisa!
So, Dru and Alan more left brain, Darrell slightly more right.
Darrell, it's true, writing does take a balance of skills.
Nancy, it is more fun than informative or useful in my opinion, too.
I'm all over the map here. Some of these I could answer yes AND no. I don't want to think too much about what that could mean ;-)
Even split for me too. Probably why, in HS, I always scored "99-Other" on those career tests!
Gin - Hmm, not sure what means either.
Alice - Another split personality, tee hee.
This test isn't proving to be very conclusive, is it?
