2. THINKING WITH YOUR THUMBS
用大拇指思考
Clasp your hands together with fingers interlocked and place a thumb on top of the other. The thumb that goes on top gives a clue about whether you are logical or intuitive, according to some researchers.
合起双手,手指交叠在一起,一个大拇指在上,另一个在下。在上面的大拇指暗示了你是靠逻辑还是凭直觉。
The test relies on the theory that the two halves of the brain specialise in different ways of thinking. The left half of the brain tends to deal more with logic and language, while the right half processes emotion, vision and creativity. If the right thumb goes on top it suggests that you are a logical, rational ‘left-brainer’. In the same way, if the left thumb usually goes on top, you are more likely to be a creative, intuitive ‘right-brainer’.
这个测试的理论依据是:大脑的两半专门负责不同的思维方式。左脑更多涉及逻辑和语言,右脑则处理情感、视觉和创造力。如果右手拇指在上,这意味着你是富有逻辑、讲理性的”左脑思维者“。同理,如果左手大拇指在上,你更有可能是富有创造力、凭直觉的”右脑思考者“。
