“Ahhh!” Screams the head of the nail as the hammer comes down on it

So a long time ago, I when I was a junior in high school, I took a psychology class. The teacher gave us one of those floppy disks (yea it was that long ago) to take home. On the ancient floppy, there was a program on it that asked some questions and based on those answers gave you a personal evaluation. I copied the program because I thought it might come in handy and now 9 years later I wonder if its still of any use…..

OCBENJI, You show a strong right-hemisphere dominance with somewhat of a preference for auditory learning, a combination which often causes significant cognitive discomfort and indecisiveness.

You are likely verbally fluent and can be a charismatic speaker, perceiving entire complex relationships and letting that understanding intuitively guide what you say. In this regard, you have many of the attributes to be an outstanding teacher. In addition, you have enough visual capacity to be multidimensional when necessary, although your natural tendency is toward sequential processing.

You can utilize your auditory processing to assist you in focusing on a task which is otherwise contrary to your right-hemisphere nature. In the same way, you can clarify the details of what you see via the involvement of your sensory processing mode.

Even though you tend immediately to perceive the “whole picture,” your auditory mode provides a natural vehicle for analyzing and breaking it down. You organize with difficulty and you find yourself experiencing a lot of internal conflicts in your learning and life patterns. The preference of auditory learning indicates your basic reflectiveness coupled with a tendency to process information sequentially. At the same time, you retain sufficient orientation towards visual learning to integrate.

With this combination, you are likely continually telling yourself that you “have to get on top of things” and, at the same time finding out that it doesn’t happen that often. You find yourself fighting yourself much of the time.

On order to satisfy your strong right-brain dominance, it is important that your sensory input channels be given every chance to work together to enhance your learning style and sense of well-being.

In other news, its only took half of a coffee mug of wine to put me out last night. Yea I know, fucking lightweight!
