Right brain test... See how creative you are...
Thursday, December 13, 2007 at 8:23PM 
Many people that I know who have done a Masters or Doctoral research degree have told me that after completing their research project they went 'off' the topic for a little while.
This is true for me! My doctorate, and the years that lead up to its completion, were often taken upon by hours and hours of pouring through medical journals, books on the human brain, consciousness, and neuroscience. It was not exactly entertaining (the only entertaining bit about it is when people would ask me, as a minister, "so what is your doctorate about!?" They would usually expect some fairly regular response like, "Oh, I am studying .... in the New Testament...". Ha ha, when I said "I am studying the brain to see how we process identity, consciousness, and religious experience" they would get a sort of blank stare!)
Anyway, it has been over a year since completing that project - and I am pleased to say that I am already starting to develop a slight distaste for the subject of my next doctorate (I have been working on that for about a year now...)
However, I am starting to find the brain interesting again. So, when I saw this little test on the internet I thought I should post the link here! This is the little blurb before the test:
Being creative or artistic doesn’t mean you know how to draw or play an instrument. Being creative is a way of thinking, a way of viewing the world. Creative people use the RIGHT side of their brains more than the LEFT.
Click here to take the test. I would love to hear what you discovered! So, if you have the time please do come back and leave a comment.
PS. I just LOVE the domain name of this site 'wherecreativitygoestoschool.com'.

Thanks for the link Dion - i scored 50% left brain and 51% right brain. At least i'm using 101% - never mind what side it is on!
(i met you at Tuks a few years ago - at a Villa vincenco lecture i think. I'm friends/colleagues with a bunch of the 'methodist 19' and some other mutual friends. enjoying your numerous posts)
Hi Gareth,
Well balanced! And above average! Wow, 101%
I've just had a look at your great blog! I love both the look and the content!
I remember meeting - I think it was the 'Oom Beyers Naude' lectures?
That it was - the inaugural "Oom Bey" lectures. Natalie Jaynes introduced us.
Thanks for popping by, and for the kind compliments. Still getting into the swing of blog-things.
Have a great festive season and travel safely.
