I think it most cases it would be that T is left and F is right. otherwise you would score as T50 F50 making you an INXJ
at some point to test as an INFJ you must have got a higher F score. So your right brained dominatnt with very well devloped left brain skills, developed in the right side of the brain as the brain is very adaptable. I do't have any evidence to back this up other than theory, but the evidence of real co-dominance being a hindrence is well documanted. You don't switch one part of the brain on and off depending if your doing something logical or not, you have to shift everthing in between the left and right the whole time. Take a look at what happens when you do that and try to spell! check out how jumpy my post are! Im all over the shop!

I think we would see an even spread of right brain/left brain characterisics in Ni types, or in people that are keen to develop thier weeker skills. Its very possible that being an uncocous and deeply analytical fucntion that Ni does this without us concously trying.
we should ge see the INTJ lot with this! does any one else see where Im going with this?

I think INFJs are often left-brained - my last boss was, although he MIGHT have been ISFJ.

It's the INFPs and ENFPs who are pretty much INVARIABLY right brained.

Most T's are left brained, although I'm an exception - I'm strongly right brained...but then I'm strongly left brained. Which means I'm balanced. Two strong but opposing forces cancel each other out...?

he he you have no brain!
See i dont get this. MBTI types F and T acording to how you make your descions, feeling or logic, but the left brain is all kinda logical, this is well documented and the right brian is all feeling and emtioanl intellegence. So how would some one that basis most of thier decsion making on how they feel be left brain dominant?
Im am oficaly confused!
I dont chose to base my descions on how I feel, infact it just seems a whole lot of hassle. I can't help it I just do stuff becuase thats how I felt, I wish my brain would go "hey cucmumber you don't want to being that because XYZ fact! doing that because your upset won't change it" and then my brain would actaly stop me from doing it and saying it, thus many terrable situation would not have occured
Cor if only!! Truth is Im super uber emotianl otherwise my logical left side would have got me out of some right situations. I have a post else where on how this led me to the INFJ for my type and not INTJ despite being very logical I hear my brain telling me but my body my sole what ever does not respond, and Im an emotinal impulsive wreck:crying:with a co dominant brain constanly in conflict with myslef!

 

[SuspenderOfDisbelief]

Here's a quick little test I found that will determine which side of the brain you favor: Right Brain vs Left Brain Creativity Test at The Art Institute of Vancouver

I'm more right-brained, but not by much. According to this test I'm 40% left and 60% right. As far as intepretation on this goes, I'm still reading into it.

While I don't like the way this test asks some of its questions, I do very much like its expansive response- And for the most part, it was spot on.

I would like to see this redone with a more neutral answer method and maybe some... More thought out questions.

All in all though, it looks to me to be a good test

I'm apparently 51% left, 49% right.
Which, to be perfectly honest, is how I've pretty much always figured it ^_^ I'm balanced. Although, I wouldnt mind a bit more left power for my writing at times T_T

EDIT: Although, I notice that the two sides sometimes seem to contradict each other in the descriptions XD

because INFJ's have alot of natural intellegence, and really not enough research was put into finding out all the inner workings of us, one of them being our left brain strengths, but while must of us make descisions on feelings we are somewhat logical too which makes a neverending conflict with ones self, and i think maybe the Ne might have something to do with it ^^

and yes thats one of those welcome to the INFJ's kinda things, inside most of us are horribly conflicted or worse

 

[bellcs]

exactly 50% right/ 50% left

Ok vaan I can buy that, seems to fit. My description of my brain feeding me logic but heart not responding must ring true for many.

Supports Sea Cucumber theory on Ni having an even spread amongst right/left traits.

Ni - Even spread
Fe - Right
Ti - Left

Not sure this is completely accurate but overall, reading the descriptions (could of had an higher holistic trait, I'm not THAT bad with big picture oversight and problem solving using variables) I find quite right.

I like to see that INFJ are quite balanced and it fits me well. Like mentioned often on here, INFJ sometimes feel like they are the jack of all trade master of none. This is pretty much what comes out here. Like stated earlier this probably due to intuition that make answer in the middle of most likert scales because most affirmation can be applied to our lives in some ways. It always depends on the situation. When I answer a quiz like this I have a tendency to never give definitive answers like I'm agreeing 100% with this statement. I feel I always can improve in a given field and there are always people I can compare to who are more able in those fields.

Also, I agree with being low on fantasy. When I watch a movie, for me it either has to be realistic or fantastic it cannot be both. Either you have a concrete story line in the real world with real people. Or the movie as a whole as to be in a different world see LotR. That's probably why I hate super hero movies and stuff like E.T. ... The only exception to this is if there's a dreamy vibe or artistic approach that makes me forget that the movie started out realistically (see Across the universe, yea I actually watch it, it was great :laughing:, makes me want to sing along lol).

yeah i dont believe we are really the dreamers, we have a balanced thinking way, which means that we have the thought processing of both halves of the brain, in a way that can make our thought processing better than most others, we can see things a massive number of ways and we can logically deconstuct everything from that, thats how we are able to read people, its just that pesky Fe that gets in our way, when we are able to control that Fe you get some amazing results

remember albert einstein failed second grade and didnt do homework and was a left brained type, and we are the same in that respect, we have interesting minds but unfortuanantly most of that we spend pining over little things about ourselves or we just dont need to use, im not bragging about us at all, but i know that we should be apart of the thinkers, we are only dreamers because of the amount that we think we kinda disconnect because we overload ourselves XD

anyone agree or does everyone think i just went wierd nerdrage?

 

[bellcs]

Definitely agree with ^. I thought it was interesting I took an emotional and systemizing quotient test and scored like 75 on both which is far outside the norm of like 38 for eq for men and 45 for sq and thought maybe this was caused hy this sort of both brained effect.

The Feeling side of the dichotomy isn't necessarily illogical. It is irrational. Jung said of the term irrational:

"I use this term not as denoting something contrary to reason, but something beyond reason, something, therefore, not grounded on reason. Elementary facts come into this category; the fact, for example, that the Earth has a moon, that chlorine is an element, that water reaches its greatest density at four degrees centigrade, etc. Another irrational fact is chance, even though it may be possible to demonstrate a rational causation after the event.
The irrational is an existential factor which, though it may be pushed further and further out of sight by an increasingly elaborate rational explanation, finally makes the explanation so complicated that it passes our powers of comprehension, the limits of rational thought being reached long before the whole of the world could be encompassed by the laws of reason."

Hmm, I am geared towards linguistics due to my 'symbolic' intelligence, but at the same time I'm not pretty verbal.

That's pretty accurate and describes the conundrum I'm always in: 'why study languages if you don't like talking that much?' But I love reading and writing...

I speak much better in other languages than I do in my native English. Eventually I will learn some more. Right now I only know broken parts of a few different languages. Not very useful for speaking, but helpful for listening.

I think English is too complicated for the speaking part of my brain. The friends I always enjoy talking to the most are the ones that grew up speaking more concept oriented languages (Mandarin for example) or any other language that leaves a lot of the ethereal parts of conversation up to the listener's interpretation. All language does this but English has so many ways to describe things that it gets a bit wordy for me when talking. It's great for writing though.

I usually score straight down the middle on left/right brain tests. fwiw

 

[Goodewitch]

Took the test, have taken other tests too,..and I am more of a left brain user,...am always surprised at that.

"Irrational" was used by Jung for the P functions, not the F functions. All of the judging functions are rational. So Ni is "irrational", but Fe is not. The P functions are irrational because they do not reason, but simply "see" or are "aware". The F functions reason, which makes them rational, but they use a more evaluative form of reasoning, whereas the T functions use a more "dry logic" for lack of a better term. Basically, logic is the premise for the T functions, whereas value is the premise for the F functions.

To me, INFJs seem to be "left-brained", but then, all J types do. PiJe gives a composed, focused aspect to the personality and thinking process that seems too methodical to call it "right-brained". I think the issue is that right-brained thinking is associated with stereotypical kinds of creativity, but you can be creative and be left-brained (as I realize many Ni-dom are creative, or consider themselves to be).

EXFP best friend says i keep him grounded and thanks me for trying to always make sure he doest go overboard(keyword is try)

My INTJ brother says i am irrational.

Same with introversion and extroversion. i can be drained or pumped up by being with others.

I am a contradiction.

I also tend to test as INFJ as well as INTJ.
With F and T almost tied.

 

[Gildar]

I tend to test more often as ISFJ then INFJ. I think it is because i am good at handling repetition tasts and like organizing. I take the test every so often and it still pops up alot.

thats why people should never trust the tests.

Evidently I use 101% of my brain. Take that, everybody :tongue:

I wasn't expecting such an even score on this test. I'm ridiculously visual so I thought I'd have a much higher right brain percentage but all other left-right brain tests I've taken have been evenly split as well.
