The Left-Right Brain Continuum -Part 1

I didn't belong as a kid, and that always bothered me. If only I'd known
that one day my differences would be an asset. Bette Midler

I'm reading Jeffrey Freed's book: Right-brained children in a left brained world at the moment. Not finished yet. There is some kind of a quiz that can very much tell you if your children are left-, right-, or whole brained. This quiz is for children ages 5-13.
