That's probably because there is no such thing as a dominant brainside. Recent studies have already proven it is a myth. |
I can believe that recent studies may have called the concept it into question but unless there an awful lot of recent studies conclusively proving that hemispheric dominance and hemispheric switching don't exist at all, all that would have happened is the weight of evidence may have shifted, typically the way in biological research.
The problem with the term is that there is often misunderstanding about what it means and the idea that people are almost permanantly using one side of their brain more than the other doesn't hold much water. However, to my knowledge, the idea that there is frequent switching of hemispheric dominance of a short time scale is measurable through functional imaging, is testable, and can even be manipulated to improve performance on certain tasks associated with typically lateralised brain function.
It's been a long time since I studied this stuff so much may have changed, yet a quick search of literature shows that there is plenty of research going on interhemispheric switching / changes of hemispheric dominance.
The above may not mean much other than being a bit of fun i.e. the test is easily manipulated if you identify the analytical versus creative approach to answering the questions. I also agree that the idea of a fixed dominant brain hemisphere is not correct but one hemisphere is, at any given time, dominant over the other and this can have implications for how we complete certain kinds of tasks, such as those present in the questionairre.
