We talk about it a lot here–right and left brain. Young children and babies are naturally right brain dominant until the age of 4-6. If the right brain is nurtured, it can remain dominant. This is from the Tweedlewink manual: Young children naturally live and breathe in the right brain “zone.” Our ability to reach them in that state, allows us to understand how they think and feel. When children feel understood, they feel safe. They feel loved at a very deep level. When your right brain pathway is open and active, you are able to be more childlike, more playful, more loving
and kind.
Here is a little quiz that will let you know which part of your brain is dominant. http://brain.web-us.com/brain/braindominance.htm
When you’re done with the quiz you can read more about the characteristics of both sides of the brain. It’s pretty interesting stuff :yes:
How did you score?
I am left brain dominant 11 to 7.
i don’t get it :unsure:
why do we want to be right brain dominant?
i thought the whole idea was the two sides working together?
any way i am going to take the quiz thanks for posting it
Yes, you do want the two sides to work together, but the more right brain dominant that you are, the more you should be able to connect with a young child on an emotional level. Please see my original post above.
right brain 15 to 3
i don’t know if that is a good thing though as i has had a lot of trouble with those things in school and at work
i wish i was more left brain :wub:
I first saw her rotating clockwise then when i was scrolling back up i saw her anti-clockwise !!! I can’t make myself change the way she rotates though no matter how hard i focus…weird I must be equal then??? in nikki’s test I got 10 to 8 right brain … very interesting
I got 8 left and 10 right. I’m not so sure exactly how accurate I was at testing though because some of the questions I didn’t know exactly which to pick, like the question “would you prefer to express your feelings through drawings or writing?” I said writing but I am also really good with drawing, and a lot of times I actually like to use both.
But, obviously, it’s not the most scientific thing but it was fun and interesting, I think I’m “left-brained” in a lot of things (like I’m really organized and such) but right-brained in a lot of things too. Thanks for sharing this :yes:
This is very interesting. I looked at the woman several times before & could only see her turning clockwise. I showed this to my husband just now & all of a sudden she went the other way!
DH is 12 to 6 right brain & saw the woman going counter clockwise only.
You responded as a right brained person to 16 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 2 questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your right brain the most.
Not sure if that is a good thing, I think it has to do with the dyslexia I have more then anything else
