Brain Test & Age

Auditory 25%
Visual 75%
Left 50%
Right 50%

Brain Age 72 Years (older but wiser)

Tommy you exhibit an even balance between left- and right-hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self awareness quiz (yep! been there : done that).

You are a well rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined (logical : yes, disciplined : no), can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and well directed. Although a "thinking" individual, you "take in" entire situations readily and can act on intuition (yep!).

You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those of other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse (yep!). This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which aspect of yourself will be called on.

With a slight preference for visual processing, you tend to be encompassed in your perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in attacking of situations and learning.

Overall you should feel content with your life and yourself (I do). You are, perhaps, too critical of yourself -- and others -- (understatement) while maintaining an "openness" which tempers that tendency. Indecisiveness is a problem (yep!) and your creativity may be in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional (utility always wins out).


WOW!!! This is a little different than I expected. I always thought of myself as left handed - left brained. Sometimes when I retook the brain test (I couldn't resist the challenge in the first paragraph) the results said that I am slightly left brain dominant. I have to admit that most of the above analysis fits too well for me to reject it.

Recently I had a chance to increase my time share points at a true bargain price. Even though I could afford it I couldn't without a lot of additional financial stress so I decided to reject the deal. My brain said "GO it is a bargain that you would be a fool to turn down" and my heart said "Don't do it - it is not right for you at this time". I followed my heart and I am glad that I did. Right after that decision an unexpected bill rolled in for almost $700.00. If I had taken the bargain than I would not have been able to pay that bill or also help a good friend get through a financial crisis. I tell my kids to listen to their heart and their head but the heart is usually right. Intuition rules.

TomKat did you know that the greatest things in Life are free?
Think about all the wonderful things that a person has to offer someone for free. Here are a few and if we use some of them we will enrich our and those who receive them daily.
SMILE
SAY GOOD MORNING
PRAY FOR OTHERS AS WELL AS YOURSELF
GIVE ALITTLE OF YOU TIME
OPEN A DOOR FOR SOMEONE
OFFER FRIENDSHIP TO RECEIVE FRIENDSHIP
JUST BE KIND
LEND A HELPING HAND
GIVE A COMPLIMENT
PAT ON THE BACK
GIVE PRAISE WORK A JOB WELL DONE
SHOW RESPECT
VISIT THE ELDERLY
GIVE A HUG
SHARE A KISS
LISTEN TO WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY
(WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING)
LISTEN TO THE BIRDS SINGING
KEEP IN TOUCH WITH FRIENDS
SHARING MEMORIES
SAY I LOVE YOU AND MEAN IT
GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT

The most improtant thing is to share with others a kind heart and let them know that you will be there when times are good and bad.

TomKat will you use this list and let others know what kind of response you get in return?
Maybe we can make someone feel special today and they will do the same. Is is like letting someone like me say what is on my mind trying to reach out to make people realize all that we have to offer and it cost nothing. I think you have a good sense of humor and you must be a charater in person. What kind of adventures makes your day? I know sitting in front of the tv like you said earilier is not something that you get to do often. You have something to say and expressing yourself can be fulfilling. I hope you will continue to write your stories. A sense of humor is rare these day. I can't wait to hear some of the stories that you said would reflect on your experiences with your friends and family.

Got to go. Keep up the good work.

Lisa
