[lace-chat] Left or right brain?male or female brain?

[Jean Nathan]

The test might have been taken off the web site by now because the result of 
all those who took it was given in the programme last night. Pity it took so 
long for my post to get through to Arachne. The original was sent at around 
9 am yesterday morning, but hadn't appeared on my computer by 6 pm. Wasn;t 
on the archive either. The second post appeared later twice.


The final result was that approximately 1 in 4 women show traits of a male 
brain and 1 in 4 men female.


The final test was a room with several objects in it which they looked at 
for 60 seconds. Then some were moved and they had to say which. This was the 
only test where women were better at it than men regardless of whether their 
brain leant towards male or female. Apparently women are better at finding 
things than men - "that's why women can find their husband's socks when he 
can't" "But women put the socks away!!!" Guess who said that last statement.

[lace-chat] Left or right brain?male or female brain?

[Jean Nathan]

The post I sent this morning seems to have got lost in the ether. Here it is 
repeated with typos corrected :-)


BBC1 TV is running a series this week on whether you have a male or female
brain - that doesn't mean you are male or female. The theory behind it is
that the way your brain works depends on the amount of testosterone you were
subjected to as an embryo in the womb at a certain point of development. 
They

say that generally men use one side of the brain, but the two sides of the
brain in women can comunicate with each other so they use areas not used by
men.

The results of experiements carried out this week are shown, which so far
uphold the male/female brain regardless of sex theory. There's an online
test as well at:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/theoneshow/article/2007/10/mm_brainsex.shtml

The average performances for people taking the test on a scale of 0-100 each
side of male and female, men have so far come out 50 towards male and women
50 towards female. I came in at 25 towards male, and both my ring fingers
are longer then my index fingers. If the fingers are the same length, that's
counted as female.

Fun to do, but don't take it too seriously. I suspect the online test will
be removed from the web site over the weekend because the programme will go
on to another topic next week.

I came in at 25 towards female - and I could make Tamara's dancer spin

Well that was just downright weird!  It kept changing as I would look  
at it. Thanks for sharing the link.  I am going to forward it to my  
artsy friends.  In other right/left brain tests I score around 70 -  
75 % right brained.  My husband on the other hand, scores 98% left  
brained.  When I get him into one of my art projects it is amazing  
what he does with his 2% though.


By the way, being left or right handed has nothing to do with  
whether  you are predominately left or right brained.  There are many  
many wonderful artists who are right handed but are able to access  
the right side of their brain - the right side is the artsy side, the  
left side the logical side.  If you are interested in the subject,  
Betty Edwards has written a couple of books on how to access the  
right side of the brain - "Drawing On The Right Side of the  
Brain" ( I and II editions)  and "Drawing on the Artist Within".

I thought it strange that the direction would change
when I scrolled down so I could not see her feet. 
When I scrolled up, she changed back.  After a bit, I
could make her change by focusing on the edge of the
picture instead of directly on her.  Our minds apply
the depth to this flat picture, and that's what makes
it appear one direction or the other.

I'm a bit ambidextrous

I could only see it going clock wise, but did not agree with their lists.
I found more on the left brain list that fit me.
Maybe I am more like my daughter who as a child did not have a dominate side
in her brain, she is (and always was) definitely left handed.  Boy did she
have trouble in school!!

I have not a clue how you make the figure look as if it is going 
anti-clockwise. I am the most right-handed of people, and should therefore 
be left-brained! Logic was my specialty in gaining my MA in mathematics, and 
I am VERY detail oriented. I don't think I fit this page very well

[lace-chat] Left or right brain?

[Tamara P Duvall]

This popped up on on of the "lefty blogs" I read (it's not serious 
politics all the time, y'know ). Interesting... From the way I see 
the figure moving (and I ain't tellin' and spoiling your own test), it 
means I'm right-brain dominant. Not detail-oriented, among other things 
(though, apparently, more likely to "get it" )... Not detail 
oriented??? I think I should quit making lace forthwith :)
