lol I’ve took a quiz like this before and I was slightly left-dominant
probably after focusing more on design and art made that switch? :/

I went to art college but have always known that I’m more left-brained.
Training the right will be a lot of work, do you suggest I give up totally on design and do something more left-brained? I’ve been struggling because I’m not creative enough.

I wish to be more creative but it’s so difficult, like fighting against what’s given.

Good article I have seen a lot of different takes on this subject and enjoyed yours much more.

I must be truly right brain dominant, because I didn’t see any problems in that.

Maybe the following will explain the situation a little better.

In the end of the article, I found something beautifully ironic:

“Often times, the path to better creativity lies in science and logic — in this case, psychology.” (quote from the ‘Wrapping up’ conclusion part).

None of these three aspects (science, logic and psychology) are featured in this article. It is beyond me why nobody here has added a disclaimer to the article. Now it’s just promoting false beliefs with no scientific ground. Forgive my bitter tone, but I feel this article disrespects years of very hard work in the field of psychology. I mean, we designers want to be taken seriously, right? How would we feel if a doctor on a major health-blog talks about using webdesign in healthcare, applying all wrong and outdated design principles (use of the tag, Comic Sans, background midi-music, only bright colors, flash intro)? Can you image that: “To better help patients with a heart condition we should add background music for relaxation. We should use Comic Sans MS as our typeface so that the patients feel comfortable on our website and don’t get upset by hard edges on fonts. Our emergency telephone number should blink, so that it’s clearly visible.”

What this article is doing, is comparable to my example. It should be rewritten. Or it should feature a very big disclaimer, stating that any mention of psychology and the brain should be viewed as a metaphor and is not by any means reliable knowledge.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s some nice stuff in there. Just get rid of the psychology and the brain, use a different metaphor. People tend to believe all these claims on a influential website. You have a responsibility. Please take it.

PS. I know the response is going to be that I should not take the article literally. I agree, but the article should not present its content as accurate psychological knowledge.
