How to determine the dominant hemisphere? Test to determine character type Which hand is on top when crossing

Clasp your hands. If the thumb of your right hand is on top, write down the number “2” on a piece of paper, if the thumb of your left hand is on top, write down the number “1”.

1. Clasp your hands.

If the thumb of your right hand is on top, write down the number “2” on a piece of paper, if the thumb of your left hand is on top, write down the number “1”.

2. Aim at an invisible target with one eye closed...
If the left eye remains open, then write down the number “1”, if the right eye - “2”.

3. Place your hands on your chest in a cross and see which hand is on top.
If the left hand is lying on top of the right hand, then write down the number “1”, the right hand on top - “2”.

4. Applaud...
If the left hand is on top, then the number is “1”; if the right hand is on top, then the number is “2”.

“2221” - your most striking character trait is extreme indecisiveness.

DIAGNOSTICS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE RIGHT AND LEFT HEMISPHERE

THUMB.

Interlace your fingers and you will notice that the same finger is always on top: if the left one means you are an emotional person, the right one means you have a predominant analytical mindset.

LEADING EYE.

Try to “aim” by choosing a target and looking at it as if through a kind of front sight - a pencil or pen. You will notice that if you close one eye, the front sight moves. The closed eye, in which the “front sight” moves relative to the target, is the “dominant eye.”

Sometimes it is convenient to “aim” through a hole in a sheet of paper. The right dominant eye indicates a firm, persistent character (and sometimes aggressive), and the left eye indicates a soft, compliant character.

HANDS ON CHEST.

If, when intertwining your hands on your chest, your left hand is at the top, then you are capable of coquetry, while your right hand is prone to simplicity and good nature.

APPLAUSE.

If it is convenient to clap with your right hand when applauding, you can speak of a decisive character; with your left hand, you often hesitate before making a decision.

DESIGNATE THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY LETTERS:

left thumb on top - L

left dominant eye – L

left hand on top of chest - L

It’s more convenient to clap with your left hand – L

right thumb on top - P

right dominant eye – P

right hand on top of chest - P

It’s more convenient to clap with your right hand - P

As a result of introspection, you will get a sequence from these letters (one of 16 possible combinations), which corresponds to a description, a psychological portrait (mini-portrait). Do not forget that the portrait will still differ in some way from the one described.

Interpretation.

PPPP– you are characterized by conservatism, orientation towards generally accepted opinion (stereotype), you do not like to conflict, argue and quarrel.

PPPL– The defining trait of your character is indecisiveness.

PPLP– you are characterized by coquetry, determination, a sense of humor, and artistry. This type of character is most common in women.

PPLL– a rare type of character, close to the previous one, but softer. There is some contradiction between determination (left applauding) and strength of character (right dominant eye).

PLPP- a character type that combines an analytical mind and gentleness. More common in women - the “business woman” type, slow adaptation, caution in relationships - tolerance and some coldness.

PLPL– the weakest and rarest type of character. People of this nature are defenseless and susceptible to influence. It usually occurs in women.

BOB– this type of character is quite common. The main feature is emotionality, combined with insufficient perseverance and succumbing to the influence of others, and this allows one to adapt to different living conditions. They are happy with their friends and get along with people easily.

LPPL– characterized by gentleness and naivety. You require special attention to yourself - the “little princess” type.

LLPP– you are characterized by friendliness and simplicity, some dispersion of interests, and a tendency to introspection.

LLPL– your character is dominated by innocence, gentleness, and gullibility. A very rare type for men.

LLLP– you are emotional, energetic and decisive; you often make hasty decisions that lead to serious complications. An additional braking mechanism is very important.

LLLLL– you have a conservative character. They are able to look at old things in a new way; they are characterized by emotionality, sometimes turning into isolation.

LPLP- looks like a strong character type. It is difficult to convince you of anything, you have difficulty changing your point of view, but at the same time you are energetic and persistently achieve your goals.

LPLL- similar to the previous type of character. Perseverance in achieving your goals. People with this type of character are resilient, and it is almost impossible to convince them. They are prone to introspection and have difficulty finding new friends.

PLLP– you have an easy character. You know how to avoid conflicts, love to travel, and quickly make friends. However, you often change your hobbies.

PLLL– you are characterized by inconstancy and independence, the desire to do everything yourself. The ability to analyze helps you solve complex problems. You usually seem gentle, but you become demanding and even cruel when it comes to business.

To finally find out which part of the brain is dominant, we have found an interesting test for you that will help you understand your strengths and weaknesses.

By the way, the entire editorial team has already tested their abilities. It is believed that the left hemisphere is responsible for analytical thinking, and the right for creative thinking.

So, in order to check which hemisphere of the brain is dominant, you will need a piece of paper and a pen, as well as 10 minutes of full concentration.

How to determine the dominant hemisphere?

In each of the tests, we check the dominant hemisphere. For the left hemisphere we write L, and for the right hemisphere we write P.

1. Interlocking fingers

Interlace your fingers together, which thumb is on top? Mark the opposite hemisphere.

2. Rosenbach test

Try not to be stupid, it's difficult. Take a pencil and stretch it out in front of your eyes. Look carefully at the pencil, and then close each eye in turn. When you close one eye, the image will move away a little. Mark the eye in which you noticed greater distance. And mark the opposite hemisphere.

3. Napoleon Pose

Cross your arms over the weight. Which hand is on top of the other's forearm? Mark the opposite hemisphere.

4. Applause

Clap in front of yourself. Which hand is on top? Mark the opposite hemisphere.

5. Cross your legs

Cross your legs without thinking. Which leg is on top? Mark the opposite hemisphere.

6. Wink

Wink without hesitation. Which eyes? If right, then mark the right hemisphere. And vice versa.

7. Spin

Get up from your chair and spin around your axis. Which way? Spin counterclockwise - left, clockwise - right.

8. Draw

Take a blank sheet of paper and a pen. Draw a vertical line to divide the sheet into genders. Which part of the sheet has more space? Mark the opposite hemisphere. If it's even, then put it at 0.

9. Strokes

With each hand, not counting, draw a series of vertical strokes. Which hand did you draw the most? Mark the opposite hemisphere, if it is exactly 0.

10. Circle

Using your normal hand, draw a circle and end it with an arrow. If you drew a circle counterclockwise, then mark the left hemisphere, if clockwise, mark the right.

Decisive moment

Now we count. Count the number of left and right hemispheres. Subtract the number of right ones from the number of left ones. Divide the number by 11 and convert the number to a percentage.

results

Now the main results.

> 30% - complete dominance of the left hemisphere

10% - 30% - incomplete dominance of the left hemisphere

10%—+10% — incomplete dominance of the right hemisphere

<-10% — полное доминирование правого полушария

The Universe is an asymmetric ensemble.
I believe that life as we know it must be a function of the asymmetry of the world or the consequences that flow from it.

Louis Pasteur

It seems to us that the picture of the world that opens before our eyes is holistic and continuous. But in fact, there are two pictures: what is projected on the right half of the retina ends up in the left hemisphere, and what is projected on the left half of the retina ends up in the right hemisphere. Doctors and physiologists call this reciprocity, crossness.

Only thanks to connections between the hemispheres of the brain do both half-pictures merge together.

The sound is cross-transmitted to the halves of the brain by the hearing aid. The muscles of the body are controlled in a criss-cross manner and tactile sensations are perceived. What amazing symmetry! – I involuntarily want to exclaim.

Functions are distributed between the hemispheres both evenly and not very...

But there is no less asymmetry in our brain and body (in addition to the heart, stomach and other organs).

In one of the French clinics in the mid-19th century. Two patients suffering from speech disorders died. The famous French anthropologist and anatomist Paul Broca performed autopsies and found that both patients had the same lesion in the left hemisphere: hemorrhage in the posterior frontal region. Accident? It turns out not.

Ten years later, his compatriot Klodt Wernicke noticed that with hemorrhages in the temporal region of the same hemisphere, the patient ceases to understand speech, although he can speak: for him it turns into meaningless noise. The “speaking” hemisphere, out of respect for such an important matter as speech, was called dominant, dominant, and the “silent” hemisphere was called subdominant, subordinate. (A significant role in this must have been played by the tradition that linked the ability to think with the ability to speak alone. “You can still find statements that language is the only means of thinking,” we read in a book on psychological linguistics.) Terminology contributed to the fact that researchers paid the greatest attention to the dominant hemisphere, and only in recent years have they discovered that the subdominant is also worthy of the closest study.

Tests:

Props: pieces of paper, pens.

From neuropsychology we know that the two hemispheres of the human brain work differently: the left hemisphere is responsible for the logical and linguistic aspects of mental operations, and the right hemisphere is responsible for their imagery, integrity and emotionality. Such functional asymmetry of the human body manifests itself in different forms of behavior, while certain behavioral reactions can be built according to the right or left type.

Now we will do several tests and find out what types of reactions predominate in each of you. Prepare a sheet of paper and a pencil. You will do several exercises, in each of them you will mark on a piece of paper which type of reaction - right or left - manifested itself in you.

They can be marked, for example, with the letters “P” and “L”.

So, prepare pieces of paper and pens to mark the right and left type of reaction. Please. (Gong).

Let's start the first task. Place your hands in front of you and interlace your fingers. Look which of the two thumbs is on top - the right or the left. If the right finger is on top, then this is the right type of reaction, so mark it on your sheet. If the left finger is on top, then your reaction type is left. So, interlace your fingers and, depending on which of the two thumbs is on top, mark on your sheet the right or left type of reaction. Please. (Gong).

Let's move on to the second task. Your eyes are open. Place your index fingers in front of your eyes as if you were aiming a gun, while catching and fixing with your eyes the point at which you are shooting (do not close your eyes). So, place your fingers in the barrel of the gun and aim at the point. Let's start. (Gong).

Now close first one and then the other eye. See which of these two cases causes the aiming point to move. If the point moves when your right eye is closed, then your reaction type is right, if the point moves when your left eye is closed, then your reaction type is left. So, please, first close one and then the other eye and record in which case the aiming point will shift. (Gong).

Now we are starting the third task. This is the so-called Napoleon pose. Cross your arms over your chest and see which hand is on top, right or left. Record the result. So, fold your arms across your chest and see which hand is on top. Please. (Gong).

Finally, the fourth task. First we'll ask you to clap a little. So, let's all clap our hands. (Gong).

Now pay attention to which hand is on top when you applaud - right or left. So, let’s see which hand is on top when clapping your hands and record this result on your piece of paper. Please. (Gong). Thank you. All tasks have been completed. By the number of right and left types of reaction, you can, to a first approximation, determine your type of interhemispheric asymmetry.

The first task allows you to judge the general nature of your psychological makeup, whether it is logical or emotional.

The second task can talk about character traits such as firmness and aggressiveness.

Third, indicate a tendency towards simplicity or coquetry. Fourth - on decisiveness or indecisiveness of character. You can discuss the results obtained with the presenter and with each other. So, discussion. (Gong).

Thank you. We hope that the results obtained were able to at least slightly attract your attention to the problem of psychological and psychophysiological asymmetry. (Gong).

TEST No. 1
Do the following:
(mark for yourself with the letter L - left hand or P - right.)

1. Interlace your fingers. Which hand's finger is on top? (L or R)
2. Determine the leading (dominant) eye. To do this, take a sheet of paper and make a hole in it. Now look at any object through the hole with both eyes. Then, remaining in the same position, close your left and right eyes alternately. You will only see the object with your dominant eye! Which is the dominant eye?
3. Interlace your arms over your chest. Which hand is on top?
4. Applaud. Which hand is on top?

From the resulting combination of letters, determine your type:
PPPP - orientation towards generally accepted opinion, towards stereotypes. This is a conservative character type. The type with the most stable (correct) behavior.
PPPL - uncertain conservatism, weak temperament. In the presence of one test against the background of the opposite others, the corresponding trait manifests itself most clearly. In this case - indecision.
PPLP - such a person has the ability to coquet, determination, sense of humor, activity, energy, temperament, artistry. When communicating with him, humor and determination are necessary, since this strong type of character does not accept the weak.
PPLL is a rare and independent character type. Close to the previous type, but less decisive and energetic, somewhat softer. Some contradiction between indecisiveness (left applauding) and strength of character (right dominant eye). High contact, but slow addiction.
PLPP is a business type of character, combining an analytical mind and gentleness (the main trait). More common in women. The generally accepted type of business woman. Slow addiction, caution. Such people never go into conflict head-on; they are dominated by calculation, tolerance, slowness in the development of relationships, and a certain coldness.
PLPL is the weakest character type, very rare. Defenselessness and weakness are associated with the inability to enter into conflict and with exposure to various influences. Occurs only in women.
PLLP - a tendency to new impressions and the ability not to create conflicts, some inconstancy. Such characters are characterized by emotional slowness, languor, simplicity, rare courage in communication, and the ability to switch to a new type of behavior. Much more common in women.
PLLL is a fickle and independent character type. The main feature is analyticity in combination with other left-handed tests. Rarely seen.
LPP is one of the most common character types with good adaptation to various conditions. The main feature is emotionality combined with sufficient persistence, which manifests itself primarily in the main strategic issues of life - marriage, education, etc. High susceptibility to other people's influence. Easily communicates with almost all other character types. In men, emotionality is reduced and there is a tendency to be phlegmatic.
LPPL - even less persistence, gentleness, compliance with cautious influence. Requires a particularly careful attitude towards yourself. The "little queen" type.
LPLP is the strongest type of character, difficult to convince - this requires strong, varied influence. Able to show persistence, but sometimes it turns into “obsession” with minor details. Strong personality, has the ability to overcome difficulties. Some conservatism due to insufficient attention to someone else's point of view. Such people do not like immaturity.
LPLL is a strong, but not intrusive character, practically impossible to persuade. The main feature is internal aggressiveness, covered with external softness and emotionality. Fast interaction, but slow mutual understanding.
LLPP - friendliness and simplicity, some scattered interests.
LLPL - main features - innocence, gentleness, gullibility. This is a very rare type.
LLLP - emotionality combined with determination (the main feature). Energy and some scatteredness lead to the fact that such types can quickly make ill-considered decisions under the influence of emotions. Therefore, additional “braking mechanisms” are important in communicating with him.
LLLL - owners of a full set of "left" tests - these are people who are characterized by the ability to look at things in a new way, the greatest emotionality, individuality, selfishness, and stubbornness. The desire for self-defense sometimes turns into isolation.

TEST No. 2

When answering questions, write down the numbers:

“Left” -1 point, “Don’t care” -2 points, “Right” -3 points

1. Which hand do you usually write with?
2. Which hand do you draw with?
3. Which hand do you throw the ball with?
4. In which hand do you hold a tennis, squash, etc. racket?
5. In which hand do you hold the toothbrush?
6. In which hand do you hold the knife when cutting something? (without plug)
7. In which hand do you hold the hammer when hammering nails?
8. When you light a match, which hand holds it?
9. Which hand do you use the eraser with?
10. Which hand do you remove the top card of the deck?
11. Which hand do you use to thread a needle?
12. In which hand do you hold the fly swatter?

Results:

33-36 = Absolutely right-handed
29-32 = Right-handed
25-28 = Almost right-handed
24 = Ambidextrous
20-23 = Almost left-handed
16-19 = Lefty
12-15 = Absolutely left-handed

Test for right-left hemisphere thinking

This test shows the person’s current condition. This especially applies to ambidextrous people, i.e. people who simultaneously have right-hemisphere and left-hemisphere brain function. Ambidextrous people are a special group of people with extraordinary abilities.

Please take this test as seriously as possible. It can be repeated from time to time. For left-brain logicians, the girl rotates to the right. For right-hemisphere eidetics of the artistic type, the girl suddenly begins to rotate to the left. For ambidextrous people, when the head is tilted in the appropriate direction, then to the right, then to the left!

Instructions for Vladimir Pugach's test for ambidexterity

Introduction

This test shows your current condition. This especially applies to ambidextrous people (Latin ambi - double; dextrum - right).

Ambidextrous and “two-handed” are not the same thing, although they are close concepts. People can be right-handed or left-handed by eye movements, by the dominant eye (when shooting, for example). And also by the auditory channel (to which ear the telephone receiver is applied), by the arm, by the leg, by the rotation of the heart axis on the electrocardiogram, etc.

Testing

Make yourself comfortable.

So, in the picture you see the silhouette of a rotating figure.

1st stage. Psychological adjustment.

Psychological adjustment lasts approximately 2 minutes.

2nd stage. Actually testing.

If the figure steadily rotates only clockwise, it means that your left hemisphere brain activity predominates. And this is logic, counting, the ability to speak and express thoughts.
Rotation only counterclockwise is predominantly a right-hemisphere activity - eidetics, intuition, imaginative thinking, musicality, a sense of orientation in space and time.
If the figure rotates alternately in one direction or the other, this is a sign of ambidexterity, that is, the work of both the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This is a fragile state of harmony.

For some, this switching of silhouette rotation occurs when the head is tilted to the right, then to the left, and vice versa.

For others, a change in the direction of rotation is noted when the gaze is concentrated on the face, then it becomes defocus, and vice versa.

Sometimes it is useful to cover the lower part of the spinning girl’s body with your hand - it works better.
