Eni, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.

Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to "catch up" with yourself.

Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. You can "size up" situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to "lose touch" with the immediacy of the problem.

Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you "learn from experience" and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.

You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the "larger whole."

With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can "see where you want to go" and even be able to "tell yourself," but find that you are "fighting yourself" at the darndest times.

In other news, Guinness is poisonous and has made me ill. One can of the stuff. Seriously. I am never touching that stuff again.

Yesterday we went on a walk, which was absolutely lovely. The footpaths cut through several fields, some of which were used for livestock. There were two absolutely gorgeous ponies in one, a little blue roan and a slightly bigger chestnut with a thick crest. They were incredibly affectionate and playful and loved all the attention and petting, and wanted to play. I would have charged round the field with them and let them chase me and me chase them, but parents advised against it. After they pointed out that a disinterested farmer probably wouldn't know the difference between "Eni playing with horses" and "Eni chasing and deliberately frightening horses", I suppose they had a point...

I leave for MiniCon in but 2 and a bit days! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Miss Eni, I forgot to ask: vegetarian or carnivore?

Carnivore, please!

Hairyears, you exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self-assessment quiz.

You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-directed. Although a "thinking" individual, you "take in" entire situations readily and can act on intuition.

You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which aspect of yourself will be called on.

With a slight preference for visual processing, you tend to be encompassing in your perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in your attacking of situations or learning.

Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself -- and of others -- while maintaining an "openness" which tempers that tendency. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional

Guinness

Many years ago I used to work in Guinness's Park Royal Brewery. You may wish to know that, if you drop a copper test vessel into a fermenting vessel full of brewing Guinness (yes, I did)there will be NO TRACE OF IT when the vessel is drained.

Still, I expect it keeps your insides nice and clean.

...and that probably explains half of my problem.

Of course, the other half the problem may have been a 7 mile walk on a hot, humid day, and then attempting to rehydrate by drinking beer. I am not sure why the intrinsic lack of logic in this didn't occur to me at the time. :)
