Took a test online today on whether I am a left brain or right brain sort of person. These are the results:
Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 37% Visual : 62% Left : 57% Right : 42%
You are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.
Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to "catch up" with yourself.
Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. You can "size up" situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to "lose touch" with the immediacy of the problem.
Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you "learn from experience" and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.
You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the "larger whole."
With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can "see where you want to go" and even be able to "tell yourself," but find that you are "fighting yourself" at the darndest times.
I am trying my second week of Muffin Tin Mondays. This weeks theme is supposed to be clowns, but they give me the "heebidy-jeebidys". We have been reading Chicka chicka boom boom, so I decided to go with the palm tree & alphabet theme. I made the classic palm tree with celery and peanut butter and cocoa puffs for coconuts. He wanted a hot dog (although that wasn't the original plan), but I made it look sort-of like a coconut tree, grapes for more coconuts and chips for palm leaves (use your imagination Luke...). As you can see the alphabet was not incorporated...I was extremely sick this weekend and didn't get to the store to buy the alpha-bits cereal I was going to use...oh well!
Update: he ate everything except the celery palm tree...humph! Anyway, I've been told by childhood nutrition experts that my job as a mother is to put it on his plate, his job is to choose to eat it or not. He might not eat it the 1st time or the 20th time, but eventually he might! I worked with salad, so maybe celery will be next. See you next week for another Muffin Tin Monday.
When I read about this on another blog I thought it was the cutest idea and it would be fun to do with my almost 5 year old. This is my first Muffin Tin Monday and I did a 1st Day of School theme since my little dude just started Pre-K. I included 1/2 a bologna sandwich, juice, bugles, a cheese stick pencil and an apricot school of fish.
