Brain Type Test - Free Results





My brother and I both took the time to take the Brain Type Test after the two of us had a staring contest with the spinning dancer.  Both of us could see the woman spinning in the clockwise and counter clockwise motion, and so decided to take the test just below it.

The results were mildly baffling to say the least.  Both my brother and I thought that the results were representing how much of the brain as a whole that he and I both used (ie: 50% right and 50% left, or 40% right and 60% left).  My results came up differently.  Either the test show actually how much of each hemisphere we use, or there was a glitch in my results.





Your percentage score for the right brain is 56%.Your percentage score for the left brain is 45%.





Either way, I am shown to use the right side of my brain predominantly and as such express a creative nature, which is true within itself.  I love to draw and write, tend to daydream quite often, and for the most part I run my life on pure gut instinct (though that instinct usually tells me to just go with the flow.)  It was stated in my results that people like me typically see problems as a whole and will often work backwards.  Again, this is true enough, considering how I used to teach myself certain math problems, and how I now teach myself coding.





Some of the occupations listed for a right-brained person included forest ranger, artist, athlete, beautician, etc. which is amusing considering there’s a snowball’s chance in hell I’d bother doing any sort of running.  Yoga, I can handle and actually enjoy, actually sports…not so much.

My brother’s results were just as amusing, if not more, considering I was the creative sibling and he was the logical one.



Your percentage score for the right brain is 66%.Your percentage score for the left brain is 34%.





His results are that of a right brain persona as well, though that outcome could be debated by those who know him.  My brother is more of the “process of elimination” type.  He sees a problem, and rather than working backwards or even reading the entire question, he likes to pick out the answers that he knows doesn’t belong, and then guess on what’s left.  His creativity generally revolves around what can make his life easier.  Drawing, writing, reading, music - none of those can effectively make his life easier, and so he generally shows no interest in it.  However, his creativity shines at times when he’ll build random things out of what anyone would have thought to be garbage, and it turns out that object (be it a table, chair, toy for his amusement) actually works to some extent.

Comparatively, he and I both are rather laid back and don’t tend to worry about problems too much, especially problems that can not be fixed by mortal means, or if the problem at hand simply takes too much effort for little in return – then neither of our interest is sparked.  There are odd hobbies or habits that we show individually that will grasp one’s attention and not the other.  If my brother sees that there isn’t enough room for some books, or the computer, or what not, he’ll build something or add on to make room.  If given the choice, I’d sooner just clean as that would be the easiest solution to the problem in my eyes.  For him, cleaning is the work of the devil.

Put me in front of a computer though and tell me a website isn’t working right, and I can easily spend 2-3 straight sifting through codes to find out what went wrong with the site, and then getting carried away with trying to improve other points that I would think needed work on.  If anyone asked my brother to look through coding, he would shrug it off and scrounge around for some chips.  One that same note, he’s a human calculator.  He just doesn’t like reading…or any sort of work for that matter.

So his results are somewhat debatable as to whether he is more of a creative mind or a logical one.  Either way, between us, we get a kick out of random riddle sites or brain teasers, hence why he took the time to take several of Mr. Wolfe’s tests.

Now, to bring up the question of the spinning dancer, I am curious as to why the right side and the left side of the brain see it spinning in different directions.  How is it determined that one direction is creativity and the other is logical?  And is it so much of a bad or good thing that my brother and I could easily watch the dancer constantly switch from one direction to the other?
