Who am i?
My Brain(:
The included picture is my illustration of a test I took that determined I naturally prefer using the right side of my brain. Although I use both sides depending on the task, I am more comfortable when using my right side. That means that I prefer spontaneity, expression, nurturing, social and interpersonal activity, imagination and creativity, artistry, holistic, abstract and conceptual thinking.
