Quiz: Right Brain / Left Brain Quiz for Artists

Test whether your right brain or left brain is more dominant with this quiz.

By Marion Boddy-Evans, About.com

The Right Brain / Left Brain Theory has it that our brain has two hemispheres (commonly called the right brain and left brain) which think in different ways. Our right brain is visual and processes information by looking first at the whole picture then the details. Our left brain is verbal and processes information by looking first at the pieces then putting them together to get the whole. Our right brain is more intuitive; our left is analytical and sequential. (More on What Is It All About)

This right brain / left brain quiz tests whether your thinking is dominated by your right or left brain. Why not give it a try? It's not a scientific or medical quiz, the possible answers have been selected for artists. Pick the answer that describes you most closely. Don't try to 'cheat' the quiz by picking what you think is the 'right' or 'left' brain answer; you'll only be cheating yourself.

Go to the first Right Brain / Left Brain Quiz question. (There are 20 questions.)
