This way back to the Ranch   An informative, and for some: scary, peek into chunkking's brain.

Aside from the thoughts of sex that occur every 20 sec. (according to something I saw somewhere) I'm always curious about my mind and the functioning of the brain in general. I mean it, really. This is a curiousity that stretches clear back to the 9th grade. But I digress.

Sometime back, a friend emailed me one of these self-assessment tests called "Brain Works". Naturally I took it, and I share the results with you below:

Chunkking, you are a strongly left-hemisphere dominant and a predominantly visual learner, a unique blend of characteristics!

Typical of the left-hemisphere dominant person, you are organized(hah!), precise, focused on details and logical. You seek or assign meaning to your experiences as part and parcel of the way that you learn. In general, your approach to life and learning is step-wise and emphasizes the functional and pragmatic rather than the symbolic and abstract. You prefer to place things in existing categories as a way of making them familiar and/or controllable. (?)

Combined with this, you are a visual learner. (That explains my collection of Penthouse magazines.) You are active and continuously searching so that you process information rapidly. As a result, you can be constantly organizing and structuring without necessarily needing to verbalize as a way of guiding yourself. ( I talk to myself all the time!). You have a unique ability to see what needs doing and to get it done.

The predominance of our visual learning style implies that you tend not to be reflective and may not pick up on auditory cues including your own "inner voice". Frequently you may find that you can "see" where the other person is going before she/he gets there and in this way can be impatient with roundabout language. ( I hate the buzzwords of the '90's workplace).

Overall, you may find yourself driven and distracted. There is a sense of excitement that attends this combination but also a sense of frustration. You can have well-defined goals without the ability to articulate them to yourself, let alone others. You can "see" where you are going but not be able to "tell yourself."

I offer no other explanations than those in parenthesis.
