Balanced for me I think... 1st time around I get 50% of the colors right... the other half I got mixed up when I spotted color of the word beside it that corresponds with the word of the one I'm reading. (wow, that's a mouthful.)

I did find it easier when I'm "defocused". The test does match the theory of right brain being more relational than left brain I suppose.

I don't believe struggling on this test can determine which side is dominant, as most of us have been taught from very early on to read words, not colors. It is simply a demonstration of what the "left brain" is designed to do, as opposed to the "right."

I can usually read the colors at a somewhat-average speed with no slip-ups. On online tests I test more-or-less 50/50.

Yes I totally agree.

I could name the color right, even if it took awhile on some cases. For some reason I started to see the color that was written and not the color that was actually used in the font, lol.

At the first instance i read the colors, while at the same time interperating the colors. I kind of stuttered half way. So I am most likely slightly bit more left brained. Right brain was strong enough to interrupt.
