Yep. Us and most Ne types (NPs) come out strong right-brain normally. Js are often left-brain (from what I noticed). My score is weird, I´m normally not that much left, though I have the flu so I was probably not with it enough when I answered :).

One more reason why I'm a 'weird ENFP.' It's the strong J (Te) influence, I'm sure. 54% left-brained.

Check it out, though: Almost all the ENFPs have like crazy right-brain scores. I'm crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

Ah, who cares? :cool:

Don't you think "weird ENFP" is a little redundant? ;)

Eh hehehehe, yeah, but I'm weirder!!!!!!!!! (Wait is that a word??? Checks...Whew, yes it is...I can't believe I googled that!)

Anyway, yeah, I'm weirder. Imagine an ENFP with a huge-ass amount of J, and you have me...and my left-brained tendency proves it...heh!

(It's pretty sad when you can relate to 90% of ENFP descriptions and 90% of ENFJ descriptions). I'm convinced there's something seriously wrong with this picture...

Anyway, at least I know I'm left-brained. That's a start.

You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.

Your Left Brain Percentages

42% Logical (Your most dominant characteristic)
34% Reality-based
32% Linear

14% Verbal (Your least dominant characteristic)


Your Right Brain Percentages

37% Concrete

So I'm pretty evenly-matched between Left and Right, with Right having a slight lead.

Okay, I'm bored, so I decided to plot this:

Equal Left Right

ISTJ 1 1 0
INTJ 0 1 0
ISTP 0 0 1
INTP 0 2 3
ISFJ 0 1 1
INFJ 1 1 1
ISFP 1 0 1
INFP 0 1 5
ESTJ 0 0 0
ENTJ 0 1 0
ESTP 0 0 0
ENTP 0 0 0
ESFJ 0 0 0
ENFJ 0 0 0
ESFP 0 0 0
ENFP 0 1 2
???? 0 1 1
XSXP 0 0 1
ENXP 0 1 0

Preliminary observations:

- Out of 11 left-brained people, 7 are Js.
- Out of 3 equals, two are Ss.
- Out of 16 right-brained people, 13 are Ps.
- Out of 29 people who answered, only 7 are Es or unknown.
- Out of 29 people who answered, only 7 are Ss.
- Out of 29 people who answered, only 4 are unknown.

Preliminary questions (too early for deductions):

- Can left-brained people have a tendency to be J?
- Can right-brained people have a tendency to be P?
- Can left-brained Ps have a strong J?
- Can right-brained Js have a strong P?

for the record, right now the count is 3:8 favoring right.

it's a bit disproportional, even if you speculate that right brainers might be more inclined to take online tests.

I saw it differently. More responders to the thread came out almost evenly balanced between the left and right than did either extremely right dominant or left dominant. According to the test it is healthy and good to be well-balanced between the sides.

even if humans aren't predominantly left brained, after reading threads like these and finding that most of the participants come up on the right (or balanced) you begin to develop a little suspicion.

Why wouldn't most humans be balanced between the sides of the brain? Why wouldn't the trend be towards health, functionality and balance?

Hm, highest on 'verbal' in the left brain traits, second highest in 'nonverbal' in the right brain traits. Interesting.

Fantasy-oriented? That's a weird characteristic to list. Completely accurate, but weird.

Since everyone else is doing it:
Left Brain Right Brain
57% 43%

You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the "whole" picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge.

Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows:

Your Left Brain Percentages
55% Logical (Your most dominant characteristic)
48% Linear
40% Verbal
34% Symbolic
22% Sequential
20% Reality-based (Your least dominant characteristic)

Your Right Brain Percentages
44% Nonverbal (Your most dominant characteristic)

29% Fantasy-oriented
24% Holistic

23% Random (Your least dominant characteristic)

EDIT: Am I the only one here with more than 50% in logic?

EDIT2: Someone figure out how they get the top figure? Of the 400% of a person that I am, 219% of that was Left-Brained. Adjusted for a max of 100% rather than 400%, that would make me approximately 55% left-brained, not 57%. Conversely, I would be 45% right-brained, not the 43% listed.

:huh: I don't find it too hard to communicate verbally, but I certainly learn much better when there are pictures involved.... perhaps I read too many picture story books during my childhood maybe? I wonder if this result suggests Ti?

I thought I'd be more balanced and I don't know if I agree with the order of the characteristics, particularly with the left-brain percentages.
