Rise of the Machines
Saw Terminator 3 yesterday - was it the life-changing event I had expected it to be? Er, no. But I wasn't disappointed with it, and I think under the circumstances it was actually quite good. Not perfect, plenty to improve on sure, but not as horrendously awful as it could have been.

The Punisher's verdict: 7/10

Your Brain Usage Profile

Auditory : 42%
Visual : 57%
Left : 77%
Right : 22%

Alex, you are strongly left-hemisphere dominant and show somewhat of a preference for visual learning, a positive combination of styles.

Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that you are strongly organized, logical and detail-oriented. Visual preference indicates that you learn in an active, simultaneous multidimensional fashion.

With this pattern you would likely be good in fields such as engineering, architecture, drafting, computer graphics and the like. It is likely that you will find situations which demand auditory processing somewhat frustrating unless you can impose your own structures and categories while processing it.

Another possible barrier to using your talents to the fullest may be the excess attention that you can tend to give details in your day-to- day operations and learning. You can acknowledge the existence of "the bigger picture" but concentrate on the details and expect that the picture will emerge from the details themselves.

You strive towards goals and this, coupled with the active nature of your learning preference, creates a sense of you being "driven." Your tolerance of ambiguity is, at times, in conflict with your preference for the straight path and directness in everything. You tend to be as impatient with yourself as you are with others.

You have enough auditory learning capability to somewhat balance your more natural chaotic learning style. It is likely that you "slide into" the more sequential auditory learning mode when you get frustrated with the amount of input to be processed.

You are somewhat likely to be driven and distracted, but you have some capability for articulating and visualizing goals, which helps to reduce frustration. You can listen to others, but not without occasional agitation. There are times when your left hemisphere cannot categorize your learnings and place them in context, because that is the domain of the right hemisphere.

New Matrix Trailer
HO-LEE SHIT! It's simply awesome, I physically cannot wait for it. I got goosebumps and the last time that happened for a trailer was... well Terminator 3 actually but that was a couple of months ago. Wow.
