I'm definitely a left-brained kind of person. (In fact first time round, I misread your instructions and thought the test had shown me as right brained, and came to the conlusion that the test was rubbish).
What is very interesting is how
completely wrong it feels to rest my left thumb on top - this seems to back-up the claims made by the test (I feel strongly about both the thumb and the brain).
I've never heard this test before, I would be interested to know if it is a legitimate indicator - the previous posters didn't seem to find the result as accurate as I did. Hmmm...
EDIT: I see that the test comes from the BBC website. They are respectable, and I would put a significant amount of trust in their accuracy.
FURTHER EDIT:
From BBC site:
Quote:
Right thumb on top: This suggests the left half of your brain is dominant. Many studies have tried to establish whether there is a relationship between handedness and brain dominance. Some scientists believe that if you are left brain dominant, you would be more verbal and analytical.
Left thumb on top: This suggests the right half of your brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right brain dominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitive processes.
However, these theories are debatable and leave much to be said about the small percentage of people who are ambidextrous.
