huh?

i'm not entirely sure where my preconception came from but i've always assumed i was left-brained. You know, somewhat "logical"....

according to EIGHT tests i just took this is (reproducibly) not a good assumption. And i'm not just "kinda" right brained: I'm heavily right-brained, like, 70/30.

OK so yeah, it's kinda funny that I had to take eight separate, independent tests, both visual and verbal, to accommodate the idea that maybe i'm more emotional, imagination-driven, and symbolic, than logical and mathematical. You'd think I would have taken one test and said hm, that's interesting. Sort of suggests that was fighting an idea, doesn't it.

cripes, WHAT was my PhD in? Enzyme kinetics or something?? what was my postdoc work and biotech work in, hm, mathematical and quantitative description of enzyme behavior? and what field have I switched into? something to do with communication and establishing relationships (dr-patient), 3D and symbolic reasoning, perception of visual and tactile cues, and intuition? Perhaps one of the things I was fighting in my science career, was my own brain.

Oh I can't imagine how many of you are laughing right now. Hee hee hee. Hey sometimes it takes me a while :)

Rest assured, I'm laughing with you.

And yes, it's midterm week and I'm procrastinating. ;)
