- If the number of you’re a answers is bigger than that of your b answers, you are mainly left-brained. It means that you are analytical, logical. You are good at classification, planning and labeling. You are objective in your judgments. You’d better choose careers connected with organizing data, processing information, mathematical analysis.

- If you have more b answers – you are mainly right-brained. You are very emotional and artistic. You usually make subjective judgments. You are spontaneous in making your decisions. You perceive the world through images, feelings, smells. You are good at creative jobs: artist, actor, musician. Though you can make a good businessman as you are able to take risks.

There are seldom people who are purely left or right-brained though we mainly belong to either of the type.
