Brain Dominance

Last weekend, I took a brain dominance exam to figure out what part of my brain is,of course, dominant although I have always believed my left part is superior than my right part. The result was a balance between the two. Below are the questions and my answers plus the results:

Left brain individuals are analytical, articulate and to the point. They like identifying details and are more logical than intuitive. Left brained people have good communication and persuasion skills.
Right brain individuals are intuitive, creative and imaginative. They are flexible and are concerned with the bigger picture rather than details. They are impulsive and spontaneous and do not like time limits. They have difficulty explaining ideas verbally and prefer illustrations to verbal instructions.

Amazing! I didn't expect it would be a balance. Looking at the explanation above, I agree. I am articulate. I prefer speaking to writing. My verbal communication skills are more enhanced since I have always been exposed to that kind of environment rather than writing. On the other hand, the attributes I have on the right part of my brain is my spontaneity and seeing the bigger picture that I fail to see the details in between and yes I DO NOT LIKE LIMITS, admittedly.
