Please post your Hemispheric Mode Indicator (HMI) results as a COMMENT to this blog post.
My HMI score was -1, favoring the left hemisphere, but only just barely so.
I feel that this score adequately represents who I am. I can adjust myself to focus in on details, be organized, calculate, work towards goals, consider management, remove myself from situations, and use words to my advantage. On the other hand, I can also let loose, be creative, go with the flow when neccesary, make connections, use pictures and graphics to my advantage, and be empathic. I have the ability to shift back and forth.
However, this can also create chaos in my life. There are times when I can literally feel my brain floundering. I can't explain what it feels like. I visualize it as oil and water that has been swirled together. Sometimes I'm presented with a problem or situation and I simply freeze. I can feel my brain jumble up as it tries to decide which half is going to take over-as though the two halves are at war with each other. It's the strangest sensation. I wish I knew how to make them work together...

My HMI score was -27.
ReplyDeleteI was not surprised to see the characteristics of the left mode individual. As a matter of fact, I wonder if I should implement some exercises that help me embrace some of the right mode characteristics. Seeing my characteristics described made me realize I really need to shake things up a bit. One of the things I could really work on is being more open to change and inorganization. I get extremely frustrated when plans suddenly change or when something is unorganized.
I have to remind myself that a little change and spontaneity every now and then is ok.
My HMI score is 10 positive. I am a Right brain dominant. Even though I love numbers, math, logic and reasoning, my result showed that I am creative and adaptive to change, I am spontaneous and willing to take risks. I love to experiment and learn languages. When I looked up more research on the functions of the right and left brain. I found that the Arabic language infuses the right brain after exhausting the left brain. I tend to prefer seeing the whole picture starting from the end before looking into details. One characteristic I need to focus on is being more organized and having order.
