Right-brained/Intelligence test

     When I took the intelligence test, it showed that my strong points are musical, interpersonal, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.  Though I wish the last one were correct, I am very unintelligent when it comes to bodily-kinesthetic activities.  The test also said that I was very weak in logical intelligence.  They were VERY correct on this one. 

     When they tested me for right-brained/left-brained qualities, I picked 14 out of 18 right-brained qualities.  The test pegged me very well. It said that I have holistic, random, concrete, intuitive, nonverbal, and fantasy-oriented qualities.

     Holistic qualities means that I see the big picture before the details. Perfect.  When someone is telling me a story, I just want the short version. Then after that, I want the little things that stick out that will help me determine what is going on in the big picture. 

     Random is exactly what it sounds like.  I never focus on one thing at a time.  I constantly have multiple projects going at once and none of them are finished.  Some people call that "multitasking."  I call it "ADD." 

     Another quality is concrete.  This means I need things that can be seen or touched- real objects.  This is a perfect definition of why I want to be a teacher!  I am a very hands-on person and I think that children learn better by doing things themselves than by just listening to teachers speak.  By touching, seeing, and doing, children will remember more than just a boring lecture. 

     Next is intuitive.  This means that I can have a feeling that something may or may not be right, but if someone tells me that I have to learn something a certain way, I will do it even though I may not know how they got the answer.  If it has to do with morals, though, and I know it is not right, I will most definitely stand up against it and not learn it a certain ways just because someone told me to. 

     Nonverbal is exactly what it sounds like- I comprehend information much better by illustrations than by words.  If I cannot see a person talking to me, I don't listen to them very well.  For example, talking on the phone to me is nearly useless.  Send me a text, email, or talk to me in person if you want for me to actually comprehend what you are saying.

     Fantasy-oriented, though, kind of confuses me.  I don't really understand what they mean?


Overall, the test was very accurate!
