Left Brain Right Brain. Is one more prone to stick shifting?

[ClutchFork]

Here is the chart. Let's see if the stick shifters on this site are mostly towards one type vs the other.

You only get to vote for one, but you are allowed to change the vote.

Very much left brained if one were to only deduce form the chart below. I suspect it's not complete and there are variables.

On balance, I think the chart is buncombie. Visualization is on the right, but is needed (it seems to me) to better analyze things like a gearbox function or to grasp analytical concepts in something like calculus. Still it will be fun to see if members of this site skew to one side.

I voted based on the chart.

[Boston Fit]

I would say I am right brained by nature but left brained by profession.

Once upon a time there were left-brained reasons to drive stick, but today - with fuel economy and performance advantages all but eliminated - there are only right-brained justifications if you ask me.

Using the chart above, I would have to say that I'm 50-50. I have some of the qualities of both, I don't think I lean one way or another.

I'm leaning more towards being left-brained according to the chart's description, so I voted for option 2.

[Squint]

Actually, the whole left/right brain thing is a myth if memory serves on an article that I read not that long ago. There are lobes to the brain, but they work together and you use near 100% of the brain for all of the daily functions that your average person does.

[tankinbeans]

I'm theoretically left brained and tend to excel in mathematics and science, while artsy stuff is out in left field.

[AHTOXA]

Yeah, art is a mystery to me. I can't draw more than a stick figure and even that takes effort. Same with music or singing or any art form. Unless you consider taking a solid dump art. I can do that.

I've been told I can sing, if I bothered training, but the only venues are karaoke or church choirs.

[watkins]

Until I changed my life plan, I double majored in Chemistry and Studio Arts in college. Im pretty sure I use all of my brain equally.

[AHTOXA]

Not difficult to use a resource that limited, Watkins. Your mother always mentioned that thinking for you is a dangerous proposition.

[RITmusic2k]

As Squint said above, this whole left/right thing isn't that accurate a model of what actually happens with our grey matter... but it's still a useful and widely-known way to categorize peoples' types of thought processes, so I expect we'll still see it referred to in the future.

That said, I'm really right down the middle.

[Rope-Pusher]

I'm more autistic than artistic.
