Test for the active hemisphere of the brain. How to determine which side of your brain is dominant

All people, according to their thinking, are divided into right-hemispheric and left-hemispheric individuals, i.e. in each person one of the hemispheres dominates. We present to your attention a fairly simple, but at the same time the most reliable test for determining the dominant hemisphere of the brain.

1. Interlace your fingers into a lock.
If the thumb of the left hand is the top one, write the letter “L” on a piece of paper, if the thumb of the right hand is the letter “P”.

2. Aim at an invisible target.
If for this you use the left eye, closing the right one, write the letter "L", if vice versa - "P".

3. Cross your arms over your chest, assuming the pose of Napoleon.
If the left hand is lying on top, mark it with the letter "L", if with the right hand - with the letter "P".

4. Applaud.
If you hit with your left palm on your right, then this is the letter "L", if the right palm is more active - the letter "P".

Now evaluate the resulting result according to this scheme:
"PPPP" (100% right-handed) - orientation to stereotypes, conservatism, conflict-free, no desire to quarrel and argue.
"PPPL" - one of the most striking character traits - indecision.
"PPLP" is a rather pronounced contact type of character. Coquetry, determination, sense of humor, artistry. (More often in women...)
"PPLL" - this combination is not often found. The character is close to the previous one, only softer.
"PLPP" - an analyst, with simultaneous softness. Gets used slowly, cautious in relationships, tolerance and some coldness. (More often in women...)
"PLPL" is a very rare combination. Defenselessness, susceptibility to various influences. (More often in women...)
"LPP" - this combination is common. Emotionality, lack of perseverance and perseverance in solving important issues, susceptibility to other people's influences, good adaptability, easy contact, friendliness.
"LPPL" - more significant than in the previous case, softness of character and naivety.
"LLPP" - friendliness and simplicity, some dispersion of interests and a tendency to introspection.
"LLPL" - gentleness, innocence, gullibility.
"LLLP" - energy, emotionality, determination.
"LLLL" (100% left-handed) - "anti-conservative type of character." The ability to take a fresh look at the old. Strong emotions, pronounced individualism to selfishness, stubbornness, sometimes reaching isolation.
"LPLP" is a very strong character type. But the inability to change your point of view. As well as perseverance in achieving goals and vigor.
"LPLL" is a similarity to the previous type, only it is not so unstable and prone to introspection. Has some difficulty making friends.
"PLLP" - easy character, ability to avoid conflicts, ease in making acquaintances and communication, frequent change of hobbies.
"PLLL" - independence and inconstancy, the desire to do everything yourself.

If you get more letters "P", then the left hemisphere dominates, and vice versa.

If the answers are evenly divided, we offer you an additional test:

If the girl in the picture rotates clockwise, then at the moment you have more active left hemisphere of the brain (logic, analysis). If it turns counterclockwise, then you have an active right hemisphere (emotions and intuition).

Areas of specialization of the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

Left hemisphere:
Logical thinking is the main area of ​​specialization of the left hemisphere.
The left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for language abilities. It controls speech, reading and writing abilities, remembers facts, names, dates and their spelling.

Analytical thinking:
The left hemisphere is responsible for logic and analysis. It analyzes all the facts. Numbers and mathematical symbols are also recognized by the left hemisphere.

Literal understanding of words:
The left hemisphere can only understand the literal meaning of words.

Mathematical Ability: Numbers and symbols are also recognized by the left hemisphere. Logical analytical approaches, which are necessary for solving mathematical problems, are also a product of the work of the left hemisphere.

Right hemisphere
Intuition is the main area of ​​specialization of the right hemisphere.

Spatial orientation: The right hemisphere is responsible for the perception of location and spatial orientation in general.

Musicality: Musical abilities, as well as the ability to perceive music, depend on the right hemisphere.

Imagination: The right hemisphere gives us the ability to dream and fantasize. With the help of the right hemisphere, we can make up different stories.

Artistic Ability: The right hemisphere is responsible for the ability to visual arts.

Emotions: Although emotions are not a product of the functioning of the right hemisphere, it is associated with them more closely than the left.

Mystic: The right hemisphere is responsible for mysticism and religiosity.

Dreams: The right hemisphere is also responsible for dreams.

As you know, our brain consists of two hemispheres: left and right.

At the same time, the right hemisphere mainly "serves" the left side of the body: it receives most of the information from the left eye, ear, left arm, leg, etc. and transmits commands, respectively, to the left arm, leg.

The left hemisphere serves the right side.

Usually, one of the hemispheres in a person is dominant, which is reflected in the individual properties of the personality. For example, left-brained people are more drawn to science. Right hemispheric people are more inclined to engage in art or areas of activity that require individual imaginative solutions. The vast majority of great creators - composers, writers, poets, musicians, artists, etc. - "right hemisphere" people.

Test 1

Name colors, not what is written. The right hemisphere of the brain - recognizes colors, the left - reads. In this exercise, the hemispheres are balanced and their interaction is trained. For safety (from glitches in users) - the test begins and ends with the "correct" word-color combinations.

Optical effects - chiaroscuro form a three-dimensional image. In a picture or photograph you can see a lunar crater, and turning 180 degrees - a mountain, and this is not only an illusion, but a feature of vision, a visual habit of the eye that the daylight of the sun goes from top to bottom.

Lunar craters (in the photo on the left) When you rotate the photo by 180 degrees (on the right) - "mountains" appear in the picture

Optical illusions (optical illusion, glitches) - image rotation, flickering and other visual illusions. If you look too long, there is an aftereffect (looking away, on a white background, you can see the same picture). Meditation, looking at a candle, acts similarly - in the central field of vision, within a few minutes, an "imprint" will be visible that remains on the retina of the eye and in the visual cortex of the brain (at first it resembles a yellow flame on a red and blue ellipse background with a green halo etc.) In the evening and at night, when the pineal gland (pineal gland, "third eye") is most active, meditative, including breathing practices of working with energy (yoga, qigong) are effective. In ancient times, this system served as a kind of "night vision device" ("second vision") and to increase sensitivity.

The usual, but regular (morning and afternoon) training of the vestibular apparatus (turns, tilts, rotations, pulling up, standing on toes and looking up) - develops a sense of balance and coordination of movements, as well as strengthens the psyche and stabilizes certain human field structures (stability the so-called astral body, etc.)

In case of an increase in blood pressure, the appearance of headaches and dizziness during training, temporarily focus on both points E36 (zu-san-li), or perform a light acupressure to align your energy along the meridians. Grounding in time - everyday, household chores, physical education and sports, walks in nature.

Note: look at the pictures "Optical Illusions" - no longer than 15 minutes in a row, so as not to shake your psyche.

Test 2

According to the rezulattas, there is an example of one English unviertiset, not ieemt zachneiya, in the cookery, the bkuvy in the salt are right. Galvone, chotby preav and ploendya bkvuy blyi on the site. Osatlyne bkuvy mgout seldovt in a plonm bsepordyak, everything is torn tkest chtaitseya without straps. Pichryony egoto means that we don’t read every single letter from a distance, but everything is a solvo clique.

Test 3

What do you see? If a girl you have developed the right hemisphere of the brain. If the old woman is left

Test 4

Find the male head in this picture

If you have completed the task:

• in less than 3 seconds then your right hemisphere of your brain is better developed than most people
• within 1 minute is normal
• if within 1-3 minutes. - your right hemisphere is poorly developed, you need to eat more meat protein.
• if the search took you more than 3 minutes - not good ...

Test 5

Below is a picture, when considering which, depending on which hemisphere of the brain you have active, the object will move in a certain direction. In this case, rotate around its axis either clockwise or counterclockwise. So...

Clockwise or counterclockwise. If you see this girl moving clockwise, then your right hemisphere is active at the moment. If it moves counterclockwise, then you are using the left hemisphere. Some may see it moving in both directions.

Try to make it move in the opposite direction using the other hemisphere. Can you do this.

Experiments have shown that two different areas of the brain are responsible for different types of mental activity. These activities are broken down by hemisphere below.

Left hemisphere:

• Logic Processes
• successive or consequences
• Rational
• analytical
• objective
• when one looks at individual parts rather than the whole

The right hemisphere is active when working with something:

• chosen at random, randomly or randomly
• intuitive
• holistic
• synthesizing
• subjective
• considers the whole, not individual parts

Usually people use only one hemisphere, which is characteristic of their type of thinking. But there are individuals who work with both hemispheres.

There are schools that favor one hemisphere over the other. So schools that develop the left hemisphere focus on logical thinking, analysis and accuracy. Whereas the right brain school focuses on aesthetics, feelings and creativity.

Look to the side and look at the girl again, after a while she will start moving in the opposite direction. Also, some people have discovered that you can look at her legs and she will again change direction.

The hemispheres of the human brain perform different functions: the first is responsible for imagination, creative skills, imaginative thinking, and the second performs logical, abstract tasks, it is also responsible for language and mathematical abilities. A person cannot exist normally in society if the work of one or another hemisphere is significantly impaired, but, as a rule, parts of the brain are developed differently in different people. Depending on heredity, upbringing conditions, brain training, a person may be better developed one or the other, it dominates the second and takes responsibility for solving many problems.

Without special medical equipment, it is impossible to say exactly which hemisphere in a person is better developed and to what extent it prevails over the second. But there are several fairly simple tests that allow you to identify which part of the brain a person uses in certain cases, which helps to roughly establish whether he is “right hemisphere” or “left hemisphere”.

One of the most popular tests is physiological. It checks which part of the body you use most in different situations, and depending on this, it suggests which hemisphere works best. The left hemisphere is responsible for the work of the right side of the body, and vice versa. Fold your hands in the castle and look at which thumb is on top. Now cross your arms over your chest, noting which hand is on top. You can also clap your hands and see how comfortable it is for you - when the right or left hand is on top. Based on these three simple tests, you can determine which hand you use more often. If right, then your left hemisphere is better developed, if left, then right. But this method is very approximate, it does not allow to reveal the brain with great accuracy.

You can use the visual method. There are special and animations that check the work of the hemispheres. You can find them on the Internet, most often they use the image of a spinning girl. People with a developed left hemisphere see that it is spinning clockwise, others think that it is moving counterclockwise. The more this or that hemisphere dominates, the more difficult it is to “rebuild” your vision and see how the girl is in the opposite direction.

The most accurate way to determine how your brain works is through more extensive tests with questions that help determine not only which hands you use and how you see certain pictures, but also your abilities in mathematics, language disciplines, art your habits and preferences. Such texts can be found in specialized literature or on the Internet. They include questions such as “Do you consider yourself a conservative?”, “Are you good at navigating the area?”, “Do you like it?”, “Do you trust your intuition?”. Based on the answers, we can conclude which one prevails: the left side of the brain is responsible for orientation on the terrain, conservatism is also inherent in people with a developed left hemisphere, and “right hemisphere” people have a more developed intuition.

Do you want to participate in an interesting test and learn something new about yourself? As easy as pie.

Look in which direction the girl is rotating and ...

If you see that the girl is spinning clockwise, it is assumed that your right hemisphere of the brain is more developed.
If you see counterclockwise rotation - left.

More often people see that the girl rotates counterclockwise. Consequently, these people use the left side of the brain more.

But by concentrating, you can change the direction of the girl's movement.

Interestingly, a few decades ago, the right hemisphere of the brain was not given much importance. It was generally believed that it was in some way meaningless. However, over time, scientists have concluded that the right hemisphere of the human brain is very important for the development of a creative personality.

For those who cannot change the direction of rotation of the dancer with a glance, there are 3 pictures below. By briefly looking at the left or right picture, you can easily change the direction of movement in the central picture. This simple test will help you check which part of your brain is the most active.

Left hemisphere of the brain

Verbal information is processed. The left hemisphere is responsible for language abilities, controls speech, writing and reading abilities. Using the left hemisphere of the brain, a person remembers facts, dates, names and controls their writing. The left hemisphere of the brain analyzes all the facts, is responsible for analysis and logic. Mathematical symbols and numbers are also recognized by the left hemisphere. Information is processed sequentially.

Right hemisphere of the brain

Non-verbal information is processed. The right hemisphere of the human brain processes information that is expressed not in words, but in images and symbols. Using the right hemisphere, a person is able to fantasize and dream, to compose stories. The right hemisphere of the brain is responsible for the ability to visual arts and music. The right hemisphere simultaneously processes a lot of different information. It makes it possible to consider everything as a whole, without resorting to analysis.

And this is a new optical illusion.

Which hemisphere of your brain is best developed and how does it help you, or, conversely, interfere with your life? It is known that left hemisphere responsible for logical, analytical thinking, mathematical abilities. Right hemisphere responsible for intuition, creative skills, imagination, emotions, artistic taste, daydreaming. So what dominates you the most? Find out in the rapid personality psychology test.

To pass this test, you will need to do some simple experiments with your body.

• Interlace your fingers into a lock

If the thumb of the left hand remains at the top, then write the letter “L” on a piece of paper. If the thumb of the right hand is "P".

• Imagine you are aiming at a distant target.

If you use your left eye while squinting your right eye, then write the letter "L", if vice versa - "P".

• Put your hands on your chest

If the left hand will lie on top, then write "L", if the right hand, then "P".

• clap your hands

If the left palm is more active, then put the letter “L”, if the right one, then “P”.

Test results

If you get more "P" letters, then the left hemisphere dominates (since the left side responds to the right hemisphere, and the right side to the left). If you have more "L", then your right hemisphere works better.

That's not all. For an accurate personality analysis, you can still decipher your notes from letters.
