Some researchers say that men can have ‘women’s brains’ and that women can think more like men.

Fans of heavy metal music are gentle, creative people who are at ease with themselves, which makes them very similar to fans of classical music.
That’s the finding of a new study at Scotland’s Heriot-Watt University of the link between peoples’ personalities and their choice of music.
Adrian North, the professor behind the study, said he was surprised at the similarities between fans of classical music and heavy metal, especially their creativity and generally shy natures.
“The general public has held a stereotype of heavy metal fans being suicidally depressed and of being a danger to themselves and society in general. But they are quite delicate things,” he said in an interview with the BBC.
i thought this was a little peculiar that heavy metal are gentle creative people… interesting. i like a bit of rock, pop, classical and new age… so what does that make me?
According to an article in the Perth Now, most people will see this dancer moving counter-clockwise because they use more of the left side of their brain and tend to be more logical and practical. People who see the dancer moving clockwise (like me) are right brain dominant and tend to be more risk taking and imaginative.

From Viewzone:
Experiments show that most children rank highly creative (right brain) before entering school. Because our educational systems place a higher value on left brain skills such as mathematics, logic and language than it does on drawing or using our imagination, only ten percent of these same children will rank highly creative by age 7. By the time we are adults, high creativity remains in only 2 percent of the population.
So what kind of person are you?
