[Jessica]

Primarily Left, although I have some of the traits of the right (Creative and Daydreaming).

[Zythyra]

I'm left-handed, right-brain dominant, however for instances such as music (or gender) theory, I've got my analytical moments.

[Jessica]

Odd, I am left handed as well, but the left-brain qualities describe me much better than the right-brained qualities.

[Ken/Kendra]

My brain changes. Sometimes I am logical. Some times creative. Rarely both at same time. It moves around.

[Pica Pica]

intuition said right brained, test agreed. not sure i believe in the theory that these things are locked in certain hemispheres though. Reading the list I am the right-brained type traits though, even my writing is largely based on translating mental images into words.

[candifla]

I'm right handed, and very left brained, with a smidge of right-braininess. My job and interests include lots of problem solving and numbers, yet I'm called on to be creative at times. It's interesting that my home mirrors my two sides. My male side likes black, gray and metallic everything. My computer area can be classified as sterile: equipment, cables, gadgets yet spartan and clean. However, my bathroom is atrociously pink and cluttered with makeup.

im both by nature i know this as when i was a child i could use both hands to write with and would use both on one page. i could not decide which handed i was until i was at high school were i had to choose. being a nurse by profession means that i have to use all of m brain all the time and quickly switch from left sided tasks to right sided task. i just sort of do this with not much thought. but people on the outside do marval at how we can do this. does get a bit tiring though Also something in relation to gender that might sound strange is that when i was younger when i layed in bed id lay on my left side and think in a feminine way and on my right and think of bloky stuff. i dont know if there was a real reason for this but it always felt that there were 2 sides and laying on that side would make it easyer to think them thoughts. anyway im babbling now. 

[Rebis]

Right

& beyond that: scatterbrained

[Laurry]

I put Both.  Being Logically Intuitive or Intuitively Logical is just kinda scary.  Part of my job is to write programs...you have to be logical or it will never work.  But, I am also very intuitive and make those leaps that bypass logic to reach the right answers.

I've always been good with both words and numbers (Left Brained) but was also described by one manager as "thinking so far outside the box that you may never get him back inside of it"...definitely a Right Brained scenario.

And Rebis, I'll give you a run on that "scatterbrained" designation.  The only good thing about getting older is that now I have an excuse for being so absent-minded.

I voted: Depends on when, where, and who is asking or needing me.
Since aparrently I have a rather balanced brain with a slight shift towards the right.
In such a way I function more as a chameleon; rational, analytical, logical and accurate when problems need to be solved, creative, imaginative and inituitive when there is a need for innovation. It all really depends on the situation/what is needed on whether I present myself as a righty or a lefty. However, when reading my stories there is a definite mixture of both, and I can't leave out one or the other.

[Tay]

Someone tested me once upon a time because I am ambidextrous and ambidexterity runs in my family.

I'm center brained.  The test came back 51/49.  I can't remember which one was SLIGHTLY dominant.

it could have been the 51 side {sound of scooby doo snickering}

I think it was.  But I cannot remember the corresponding left/right designation.  Of course, it could have been the 49 side...  I dunno.

[DRAIN]

i put both. every time i take online myers-briggs personality test, i get dead center between logic and intuition....its not supposed to be possible, but i do it 

i think i tend more towards the left most of the time. i'm not so good at creating new ideas, but give me a lot of information and i'm great at synthesizing it into one product/answer/sentence/whathaveyou.

[Mattie]

I'm an even mix of both.  As an engineer I am analytical, cold, and calculating.  But then I have the intuition that sometimes overrides my logic and enjoy painting a pretty picture or watching a sunset without having to wonder how many photons are being scattered to make the sky orange.

[Kai]

Left brained, according to both the test (11 left, 6 right) and my personal opinion.  I think the right side of my brain does have significant influence though.  I'm *very* analytical, but often intuitive and logical at the same time.  My father and I were talking once, and he goes through everything step by step very methodically.  I tend to just know the answer without working through all the steps, somehow putting all the information together.  Also, I have synesthesia and am very visual (I'm Deaf), and so I think in pictures/"movies", and never in words.

Interesting response to the poll...a classic Bell curve...

It seemed like a good idea when I thought of it, but in real life it looks like someone flipping the bird...sorry about that

Ya , you just wanted to flip us the bird huh. JK. But good point and visual.

Nice visual example.

Nice comparison of your analytical and intuition working together.

[Louise]

I am definitely left-brained, and am also right-handed.  My wife, who is not androgynous but is definitely feminine, is both left-handed and right-brained.  Together we can think straight.
