Nervous System

Take the Hemisphere Dominance Inventory Test. - In general the left and right hemispheres of your brain process information in different ways. We tend to process information using our dominant side. However, the learning and thinking process is enhanced when both side of the brain participates in a balanced manner. This means strengthening your less dominate hemisphere of the brain. Read the information on processing styles that are characteristically used by your right or left brain hemisphere to help you understand how your brain processes information.
Determine which side of your brain left or right is dominant. Check the answers that most closely describe your preferences. Press the "Score Button at the bottom to see your results. The result page is best viewed if your web-browser is maximized (make the browser as large as possible before scoring). When you press submit an analysis will be returned to you.  Last referenced 9/24/03.
