Jun. 5th, 2003 08:01 pmThis makes some sense, since it was my right hemisphere that was so damaged by the cerebral palsy when I was born...

Joanna, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.
Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to "catch up" with yourself.
Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. You can "size up" situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to "lose touch" with the immediacy of the problem.
Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you "learn from experience" and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.
You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the "larger whole."
With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can "see where you want to go" and even be able to "tell yourself," but find that you are "fighting yourself" at the darndest times.

I am an introvert.
I have a powerful imagination.
I live inside my own head ninety percent of the time.
I love to live, but sometimes I fear life.
I'm well known for not caring what people think of me, but at the same time I get embarrassed when in the spotlight.
I get stage fright even when I'm in a small group.
I'm not very observant, but I read deeply into people.
I love to laugh, and get depressed if I haven't laughed all day.
I love hugs, massages, kisses, and "I love you."
Kittens are my favorite sights and sounds.
I'm afraid of: car crashes while driving, vomiting from illness, falling, drowning, being ridiculed, people turning their backs on me, and losing love.
I have mild cerebral palsy on my left side.
I have mild attention deficit disorder.
I may have been borderline anorexic all my life.
Everyone tells me I'm physically beautiful, but I wish I could see it all the time.
I have an Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, but I think it's something I can overcome by myself. I can teach myself to eat more and not be obsessed with staying thin.
I have always been thin, and I have this obsession with wanting to stay that way, so I'll go to extremes not to gain too much weight.
I'm incredibly strong inside but I break down quickly and easily. I cry at the drop of a hat and then I hide for days. People have said I am made of steel and flowers. Steel magnolia.
My favorite flower scent is magnolia.
My favorite flowers overall are: magnolia, violet, lily, orange blossom, jasmine, amy blue, and rose.
My favorite smells are vanilla, chocolate, honey, clean laundry, Irish Spring soap, and my boyfriend.
I have too many dreams and fantasies, but the one dream that I hold strong to is that of being a published fiction writer.
I am a natural born poet.
I am drawn to warriors, healers, protectors, and people who shine brighter than the sun.
I have been told that I shine brighter than the sun and that I am love.
I am an innocent with the soul of a warrior.
It's not death I fear, but the wrong life.
I have been told that I am a butterfly; I am free.
I do believe in myself.
