What kind of thinker are you?

Are you one of those people who took tests if they're right-brained or left-brained?

Left- vs. right-brained: It's a myth, researchers say
The origins of the left-brain, right-brain theory dates back to experimental surgeries performed on 16 patients with severe epilepsy about 50 years ago, write neuroscientist Stephen Kosslyn and author Wayne Miller.

Seems like those results might have been wrong after all.
It's not left or right, it is actually the top or bottom part of the brain.

I tried this quiz earlier and my result is: Perceiver

And based on advisory.com, Perceivers tend to rely on the bottom-brain system to make sense of what they perceive, interpret their experience, and place it in context to try and understand its implications. They generally do not make and execute big plans; however, they are valuable part of group decision-making because they can help make sense of the big picture.

What about you? What's your result?

The Girl Who Silenced The World for 5 Minutes


I just recently watched this video on Facebook with over 130,000 shares and 30,000 views on Youtube. Below is Severn Cullis-Suzuki’s speech before the UN Earth Summit in Rio, Brazil in 1992, made when she was 12 years old.



Hello, I’m Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O. – The Environmental Children’s Organisation.
We are a group of twelve and thirteen-year-olds from Canada trying to make a difference:
 Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. We raised all the money ourselves to come six thousand miles to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future.

Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come.
