I must admit, I already knew it was highly likely that my right brain would dominate. There were a few questions where I could have answered with both possibilities. My final score was 11 to 8, so my idea that I had many tendencies of both, was correct.
I thought about the implications for my classroom. I have been working with the autistic support classroom for many years now, and I believe many of the high functioning students would have a dominant left brain - math often strong, but social skills limited for these students. Perhaps along with their social skills classes more emphasis could be placed on use of artistic drawings/pictures to help these students develop their right hemisphere. Maybe art therapy would be another alternative. What do you think about students with behavior issues ADHD/ADD?
