Brain Test
The home page of Sommer+Sommer has text in German. They have an english language test, Which side of your brain is more dominant? They call it “The 30-Second Brain Test.” PG is a cracker, and took a bit longer. They should wait until after football season.
The test is kind of strange. The first question is a video of a dancer going in circles. You are given two buttons, The one of the left is counter clockwise, and the one on the right is clockwise. Next is “Choose the color, not the word. You have 4 seconds for each task.” The name of a color is on top, in all caps and no serif. There are two colors below, with the name of the color matching the text. You look at the text on top, and click on the correct color. It is not as easy as it sounds.
You then choose between some line drawings.” Of the following, which picture appeals to you most?” “This picture is most similar to … ” “Of the following, which picture best fits the theme of friendship?”
The next series of questions is a bit unfair. “Put your hand on your head. Which hand did you use?” If you are working the mouse with your right hand, you probably use the left hand. “Cross your hands over your chest. Which hand is on top?” “Cross your legs. Which leg is on top?” People working at a desk might find that one a challenge. “Look at an object and close one eye. Which eye is still open?”
PG took the test twice. The first time he gave honest answers. The second time he was taking notes, and gave dishonest answers. The results were the same both times. “Congratulations You use your brain equally.” You can click through to a page that explains the answers.
