Do you use your left brain more than your right?

You’re at a dinner but you are bored so you occupy your mind by:

All questions are required

Daydreaming or meditating
Thinking up a new recipe to try for dinner
Planning your week

Your boss needs you to find a document for her urgently. You:

All questions are required

Rummage around everywhere. Where could it have gone?
Carefully ease it out from under the mass of papers on your desk
Tell her immediately where it is

You run into an old school friend. You:

All questions are required

Knew you’d run into her again one day
Wonder what she’s been up to
Reminisce – you had a great time at school

You dress:

All questions are required

Experimentally
Fashionably
In timeless classics

It’s 11pm on Friday night. A friend calls you up to see whether you want to join her at a bar. You:

All questions are required

Are really pleased and go and join her
Persuade her to come over to yours instead
Decline the invite: what possessed her to call you at this time?

What’s your approach to holidays? You:

All questions are required

Make it up as you go along – every holiday you take is unique and original
Do lots of research and go round every travel agent in order to choose the best holiday option
Go back to the same area every year: you know everyone there

What do your friends say when they come round?

All questions are required

‘It looks amazing – where do you get your ideas from?’
‘It’s so lovely and cosy!’
‘It’s so tidy!’

In your experience intuition is:

All questions are required

A gift you possess
Something useful you call on from time to time
A dangerous thing to believe in and can lead to mistakes

You’ve fallen in love with a beautiful suit but it’s ridiculously expensive. You:

All questions are required

Buy it without thinking about it for a moment
You know you shouldn’t, but you buy it anyway
Run home to do your accounts

Generally, when you’ve got a train to catch, you arrive:

All questions are required

Just in time to jump on the train
A little bit early
An hour before the train is due to leave
