A good test

Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 58%
Visual : 41%
Left : 33%
Right : 66%

Leo, you show a slight right-hemisphere dominance with a moderate preference for auditory processing, an unusual and somewhat paradoxical combination of characteristics.

You are drawn to a random and sometimes nonchalant synthesis of material. You learn as it seems important to a specific situation, and might even develop a resentment of others who attempt to direct your learning down a specific channel.

Your right-hemispheric dominance provides a structure that is only loosely organized and one which processes entire swatches of reality, overlooking details. You are emotional in your reactions and perceptual more than logical in your approach, although you can impose structure and a language base when necessary.

Your auditory preference, on the other hand, implies that you process information sequentially and unidimensionally. This combination of right-brain and auditory modes creates conflict, as you want to process data more rapidly than your natural processes allow.

Your tendency to be creative and free-flowing is accompanied by sufficient ability to organize and be logical, allowing you a reasonable degree of success in a number of different endeavors. You take in information methodically and systematically which can then be synthesized rapidly. In this manner, you manage to function consistently well, although certainly less efficiently than you desire.

You prefer the abstract and are a theoretician at heart while retaining the ability to be practical. You find the symbolism in a great deal of what you encounter and are something of a "mystic."

With regards to your lifestyle, you have the mentality which would be good as a philosopher, writer, journalist, or instructor, or possibly as a systems designer or social worker. Perhaps most important is your ability to "listen to your inner voice" as a mode of skipping over unnecessary steps to achieve your goals.

I've been always fascinated with Personality Tests as it tends to reveal deeper things about yourself. Even so, the gluttony of tests around only serves to hamper me as many are just trivial (eg: Find out what kinda girlfriend are you? or Which LOTR character suits you best? Esshh) Thus, dropping by John See's blog one day, I found this personality test.

So how is it? These are the results of the 1st time trying it. Subsequently I tried it again and again and again (hehe, wanted to get better results), but find that this describes me the best. Once, I was even given the results of being a logical and organized(!?) person, exactly the same as Li Lian's test results.

What can I say about this results? Well, it's true I was never a very logical person. I was always in a world of my own in classes, with day dreams of space ships and super powers, heheh. There was just enough logic to help me scrape through my maths and science in secondary school. I never did pass Additional Maths until SPM trials. And in form 6, Maths and Biology were killer papers for me. I could never pass them though I studied 8 hours a day, everyday.

Ever wondered why Engineering? It was a passion of mine to be a Doctor in form 6. To save the people out there from their hurts and wounds. Only later, I found that God's plan for my life was not to save them physically but spiritually. And it was a struggle as I rather be a pastor than some evangelist. After all, there aren't many evangelists around Malaysia, aren't there?

But God's call came again and again. Even when I wasn't exactly walking with God at times. God spoke to me when I met my ailing Grandpa. God spoke to me when on a mission trip in Cambodia. Their poverty struck me. And God spoke to me when a dear friend stuggled with life in the ICU before eventually passing away. 'Would you go?', He asked. 'Yes' was the promise I gave.

Oh yea, on the previous question, why Engineering? Because it's a passport. A passport to do God's work. A passport to go to countries a bible college degree would not allow me to. A passport to ministry. And well, it's been a long journey to getting this passport. Looks like I've gotta put in much more effort in Engineering subjects next semester.

Okay then. Do check out John See's, Nick Lim's, Daniel Khoo's, Li Lian's and Sarah's blogs for their personality test results. How about you? Would you try it as well? Do post a comment here if you've tried the test as well *smile*
