The Assemblagist

Well, the test results are finally here. I’m nei­ther. Dur­ing some of my spare times, I took the high school stu­dent quiz on About​.com to find out if I was left– or right-​brain dom­i­nant. Turns out I’m Mid­dle Brained. More to come on this but gotta’ go to Fire­fox because this new Safari install won’t let me add any­thing from the pop-​up menu which doesn’t mean any­thing to any­one but me suf­fice it to say, such an occur­rence caused me to lose my train of thought and then the train, which had already left the sta­tion, derailed.

You are open minded but not gullible about things or peo­ple. You may run into trou­ble mak­ing deci­sions some­times, while your log­i­cal brain plays tug-​of-​war with your gut instinct. You enjoy the arts, but you could also do well in sci­ence and math. You appre­ci­ate the beauty of all things in life, and are well-​rounded. Mid­dle brain stu­dents would do well on The Appren­tice, since they can have a strong mix of gut instinct and an appre­ci­a­tion for num­bers. You would have a strong career in busi­ness, but you may not go that route; you may be more inter­ested in study­ing the arts and sci­ences in col­lege. You would be wise to read over the char­ac­ter­is­tics of left and right brain stu­dents and con­sider whether you fall into the traps of either type. For instance, extreme right brain dom­i­nant stu­dents can get too bogged down in thought, while extreme left brain stu­dents can be rigid in their views.

One of the odd­est off-​track items attack­ing my brain is my sis­ter, Ann, who told me I was com­pletely, totally, right brained. Then she said, “No, you’re not, you’re left brained… wait… you’re random-​sequential.”

I’m bogged down by my rigid views of my gut instinct’s appre­ci­a­tion for numbers.
