For this week’s internet quiz, here’s a bit of insight into how your brain works. Unfortunately, I don’t agree with the results as I found some of the questions and answers to be contradictory. For instance, I’m equally good at algebra and geometry (excellent at both, in fact), so how do I choose the one I’m better at? When it comes to thinking in words or pictures, I think more in numbers — but that option’s not there, and I have to admit I think my brain works evenly between words and pictures. Another example is that I trust both logic and intuition when making decisions, so how do I say I use one or the other when it’s really both? And what if you choose your words carefully and talk with your hands a lot? When someone’s upset with me, I listen both to what they’re saying and how they’re saying it as that’s the only way to get a complete picture, yet I have to choose only one of those approaches?
But these are not scientifically valid tests any more than Dubya is a real patriot, so the point is to have some fun with it. I did take it more than once to see if I should change any of the answers. At the end, I stuck with my first responses.
