Left Brain vs Right Brain

I am more of a left brained person rather than right brained. I took a 10 minute test and this is what my results showed:   
                    

Left Brain Right Brain
55% 45%

You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the "whole" picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge.

Your complete evaluation follows below:



Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows:
Your Left Brain Percentages
  48% Sequential (Your most dominant characteristic)
  43% Linear
  27% Reality-based
  17% Symbolic
  9% Logical
  7% Verbal (Your least dominant characteristic)

Your Right Brain Percentages
  29% Fantasy-oriented (Your most dominant characteristic)
  28% Concrete
  25% Nonverbal
  24% Intuitive
  17% Random
  6% Holistic (Your least dominant characteristic)

Wallet Activity

The 10 steps during the wallet activity:


During the wallet activity we had to design a wallet for our partner's needs and wants. For the first we activity we had to interview our partner and design a wallet that would suit our partners needs.  In the second activity we got to consult with our partner to see what the did and didn't want in their wallet. The third and fourth activity we had to meet the goals and wishes of our partner and insights of what the NEEDS are in their wallet design. In the fifth step we sketched 5 ways to meet our partners needs. My partner wanted a wallet that had storage for cards, and ID and a phone easy access holder on the outside of the wallet. For step 6 and 7 my partner gave me feedback on what she liked/needed to be improved. On step 8,I designed the wallet out of duct tape. For step 9 my partner evaluated my wallet and told me what worked. She liked the size, shape and the wristlet on it. She also told me what can be improved: more card holders, an ID pocket and a place for a phone. One idea that she gave me was to put the phone pocket/holder on the outside of the wallet for easy access.

 This is what I created for my partner and she gave me feedback about what needed to be improved and what worked about it.

I think that a good education system involves an understanding teacher and a student willing to learn. I also think that teachers should have more trust in their students. Also, for a good education system teachers and students should cooperate more about when tests and quizzes should be because on some nights students have a  lot of homework and don't want to have to study for 3 tests the next day. Those are some reasons how I think an education system would be more successful.
