Psych Test for the Day
About every six months, the folks at Neuro Politics take out an ad on TalkLeft, asking readers to take a psychological test based mostly on politics. It's that time again, and I really had fun taking this one. I'm always trying to figure out where they are going with their questions, and I never can. Plus, this time, you get an analysis back. I'm not sure what most of mine means, so I hope I'm not embarrassing myself by publishing it, and I'd be curious for others to post their results in the comments. Besides, what else is there to do this Sunday besides wait for the red carpet to open at the Academy Awards? Here goes:
Your responses are consistent with the following attributes: You have a higher propensity for large-group social bonding. You have a stronger tendency to align your beliefs with your respective social groups. Your social behavior is consistent with stronger serotonergic activity and a reduction in submissive behaviors. Your right prefrontal cortex is more involved in your political decision making than your left. Indicators of enhanced right prefrontal and bilateral temporal activity in humor detection. Color preferences may indicate an enhanced dopamine level in your visual cortex. You have a higher tolerance for ambiguity in your thinking styles, and a greater inhibition of your left inferior parietal cortex. Your responses indicated a tendency to classify facial expressions as more threatening, and an elevation in activity in your right amygdala. Overall, your cognitive style is balanced between your left and right hemispheres.
Here's the test, and I bet you will find it intriguing.
