Saya suka otak-otak untuk dimakan …hmmm apalagi kalau pakai sambal kacangnya ya… Juga suka gulai otak meskipun sekarang harus hati-hati karena kolesterolnya tinggi dan tidak baik untuk kesehatan. Tapi Otak yang ingin saya tulis sekarang bukan otak yang untuk dimakan. Ini Otak kita , otak manusia yang menjadi pusat pikiran kita. Sudah banyak tulisan yang mengulas tentang otak, baik tentang otak laki-laki dan otak perempuan oleh Mbak Tuti, juga tentang High Concept, High Touch. Tapi tadi pagi saya bertandang ke blog milik deden di Samarinda, dan membaca tulisannya tentang Otak Kiri atau Kanan, dan menemukan test untuk melihat kesimbangan pemakaian otak kiri dan kanan di MindMedia Life Enhancement Network. Seperti biasa saya paling getol ikut kuis atau test-test semacam itu sehingga langsung coba. Eeee ternyata hasil saya sangat berbeda dengan orang-orang yang kebetulan komentar di blognya deden… saya emang aneh kali ya? So kalau penasaran silakan coba saja ikuti test itu (sukur-sukur kalau sekalian BW ke tempatnya deden hehehe).
Hasil dan review tentang otak saya sbb:
Your Brain Usage Profile:
Auditory : 60%
Visual : 40%
Left : 35%
Right : 64%
Emiko, you show a slight right-hemisphere dominance with a moderate preference for auditory processing, an unusual and somewhat paradoxical combination of characteristics.
You are drawn to a random and sometimes nonchalant synthesis of material. You learn as it seems important to a specific situation, and might even develop a resentment of others who attempt to direct your learning down a specific channel.
Your right-hemispheric dominance provides a structure that is only loosely organized and one which processes entire swatches of reality, overlooking details. You are emotional in your reactions and perceptual more than logical in your approach, although you can impose structure and a language base when necessary.
Your auditory preference, on the other hand, implies that you process information sequentially and unidimensionally. This combination of right-brain and auditory modes creates conflict, as you want to process data more rapidly than your natural processes allow.
Your tendency to be creative and free-flowing is accompanied by sufficient ability to organize and be logical, allowing you a reasonable degree of success in a number of different endeavors. You take in information methodically and systematically which can then be synthesized rapidly. In this manner, you manage to function consistently well, although certainly less efficiently than you desire.
You prefer the abstract and are a theoretician at heart while retaining the ability to be practical. You find the symbolism in a great deal of what you encounter and are something of a “mystic.”
With regards to your lifestyle, you have the mentality which would be good as a philosopher, writer, journalist, or instructor, or possibly as a systems designer or social worker. Perhaps most important is your ability to “listen to your inner voice” as a mode of skipping over unnecessary steps to achieve your goals.
