brain thingy
Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 40%
Visual : 60%
Left : 57%
Right : 42%
fredlet, 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.

Your Score: The Raven
You scored 46% domestic, 21% gregarious, 32% trickster, and 64% intellect!

Wild, Solitary, Serious and Intellectual: you are the Raven!
Raven is a strong symbol of both creation and destruction. Wisdom through intelligence, observation, and challenge. Raven is strongly tied to the spiritual world, living in a constant state of otherworldly awareness. Raven people tend to be very introspective and savor time spent ‘alone’.
This test categorized you based on four different axes of personality, which were then associated with a different animal. The four axes, as well as all possible results are explained below.
Wild/Domestic: This first axis categorizes you based on how much you are drawn to the outdoors, versus how much you are drawn to civilized situations. Domesticity has many shapes and forms, and varies from the joy of dolphins leaping next to a ship to the steadfast loyalty of a family dog.
Gregarious/Solitary: This axis measures how solitary you are. If you scored high, it means that you enjoy the company of other people, while a low score indicates that you prefer a more solitary lifestyle.
Trickster/Serious: This axis measures how well you line up with conventional trickster archetypes. People who fall into this archetype have a sense of humor and an excitable, highly chaotic streak. Scoring low doesn’t mean that you don’t have a sense of humor; it just means that you probably don’t think dynamite is very funny.
Intellectual/Emotional: This last axis determines whether you are more emotional — acting based on feelings and instinct, or rational and intelectual — acting more on thought than on your gut feelings.
| Wild | Gregarious | Trickster | Intellectual | The Hyena |
| Wild | Gregarious | Trickster | Emotional | The Otter |
| Wild | Gregarious | Serious | Intellectual | The Antelope |

(Some) Rules of the South
[snipped from an email]
01.) Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
02.) Turn your cap right, your head isn’t crooked.
06.) So every person in the south waves. It’s called being friendly. Try your best to comprehend the concept.
15.) Yeah, we have golf courses. But don’t hit the water hazards — it spooks the fish.
18.) Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain’t music, it’s just a lotta NOISE. We don’t want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!
Orange, bien sur
|
You Need Some Orange in Your Life |
![]() Orange will make you feel open, lively, and artistic. And with a little orange, you will project an aura of friendliness. If you want bolder experiences, you’ve got to get a little orange in your life! For extra punch: Combine orange with red or yellow The downside of orange: It’s too powerful and unusual for some people to deal with The consequences of more orange in your life: You will become more creative in almost every aspect of your life |

Keeping it GREEN
| What Color is Your Brain? |
At work or in school: I work best by myself. I like to focus on my ideas until my desire for understanding is satisfied. I am easily bored if the subject holds no interest to me. Sometimes, it is hard for me to set priorities because so many things are of interest.
