My career goal is to become a counselor for teenagers. Knowing that one of my strengths is being reality-based will help in this career because I will be able to give teenagers practical ways to get through what they are going through. One weakness that will taking some working on in this career is not being a very verbal person. I will have to learn to speak to people and be comfortable with it. The brain dominance test will help me because it shows me what some more of my strengths are and I can use those strengths to help me accomplish my goal of becoming a counselor.

Heather, I think that its really neat that you want to become a counselor. I bet your verbal skills will improve over time don't stress it too much because I haven't even realized it was a weakness for you while talking to you.

Heather, I find it really interesting that you would like to become a teenage counselor because nowadays it seems like no body our age would even dream of that. And yes also being verbal is a necessity for being a counselor and it is a skill that i believe every person needs to acquire.

My Career goal is to be an art teacher, especially to high school kids. I want to help the kids that think that nobody cares and there isn't anything i'm better at than art so i thought that would be a pretty neat thing to do. Knowing that i am a right brain really helps me focus more on what i want to do. It shows me that my brain has the correct wiring to do this. It excites me.
Heather Hinkley
8/26/2016 09:49:30 am
Danny, That's awesome that you want to help kids who feel like they don't have very much worth. Also, the fact that you are right-brained shows that you are creative and so I think being an art teacher fits you well!!
Jesse Meraz
8/26/2016 10:33:57 am
I concur that doing what you are good at is a good plan. For example, you are good at art so you are pursuing a career in that field. I am good at math so I am pursuing an electrician career.
Giselle Gonzalez

Hi Danny, I think its really cool that you want to help kids who feel like they have no one they can count on in this world. I think that the fact that your right side is more dominant will definitely help you while teaching.
Cole Mabry
8/26/2016 10:50:20 am
Danny, just by reading the first couple of words I could tell that you were right dominant. Having a creative brain and wanting to be an art teacher go perfect together, I hope you succeed in your path.
Emily Baker
8/27/2016 02:52:10 pm
Danny being right brained will definitely help you be a successful art teacher. Right brained people have great imaginations and are very creative, by this statement I am confident that you will achieve your career goal.

Danny, I think that it's great that you want to be a high school art teacher! Being a high school teacher must be very difficult, but if you are truly passionate about what you teach, you can connect with your students that are truly passionate about what they are learning, and it will help them succeed if they know that their teacher really cares about the subject and wants to help them become more interested in it!

When I graduate college and begin experiencing the world as a grown adult, I plan on being a prosecutor. I will use the strengths and weakness that I learned to better understand my role as a prosecutor to help my clients as best as I can. By knowing that I'm a right brained individual I should be perfect candidate for being a prosecutor and I will be the best I can be.
Sam Krider
8/28/2016 11:50:39 am
I don't know much about what it takes to be a prosecutor, but I feel as though being able to think outside the box and see the big picture would help you greatly.

My goal is to enter aerospace industry. Knowing yourself in this field is extremely important as you need to be both precise and accurate while being able to work well under pressure, or lives may be at stake or worse. As a more engineering and math focused field, there is a higher likelihood that most people in it will be leaning more towards left hemispherical dominance, and sharing that dominance may allow me to connect better with those people, helping me find a career there.
Jesse Meraz
8/26/2016 10:36:32 am
I too am left brained so I am also pursuing a career in the math field. I agree that searching for a career in your hemispherical dominance will assist you in connecting and working more effectively with others in that field.
Zoey Hall
8/26/2016 10:39:20 am
Sam, I think that is really cool that you want to go into the aerospace industry! Although nursing can put a lot of pressure onto someone I couldn't imagine working in that field. Best of luck!
Roxanne Lane
8/26/2016 10:42:20 am
I think going into the aerospace industry would be awesome! While it's probably not something that I would excel at, I'm sure that you will succeed, even more so with your left brain dominance.

My career goal is to become a journeyman electrician. At the moment I am taking electrical classes at Grayson County College for dual credit. Knowing my strengths and weaknesses will assist me in pursuing my career goal because it identifies areas I need to work on, for example human interaction, I would have to work on that area so I could succeed much better. If the criteria in a mandatory field is not met then I could use that information to change my career goal. Knowing my brain dominance can assist me in obtaining my career goal because I know what works well with my brain. I think linearly and scientifically so choosing a career in that area would be better than selecting a career to pursue such as art, or some other creative hobby.
Roxanne Lane
8/26/2016 10:46:46 am
Jesse, I think it is so cool that you already know what you are interested in and confident in what you want to pursue. I have a feeling you will be a very successful electrician!

My career goal is to graduate with a diploma from college and become a professional welder. My hemispheric dominance , left sided brain , will help me because i will try and do everything in order and try and keep everything i do on schedule.
Sam Krider
8/28/2016 11:37:23 am
Although I'm sure there are traits from the right hemisphere that would help you greatly, I do know that the left hemisphere's attention to detail and precision will be a large benefit in the manufacturing field.
J'Taija Hunter
8/29/2016 01:00:51 pm
I think it is very interesting that you would like to be a professional welder. Also, having a schedule will make your job a lot easier.

My career goal is to become a nurse practitioner and being a right brained person i will need to work on my weaknesses of analysis and numbers to help me achieve that goal. A strength i believe that would help from being right brained though is being visual. I feel that will help in the nursing field while learning hands on.
Heather Hinkley
8/26/2016 11:09:21 am
Zoey, I agree with you that being right-brained will help you achieve your goal of becoming a nurse practitioner because nursing is a very hands on learning, so the strengths that right-brained people have fit well with hands on learning!
Faith Lucas
8/28/2016 07:55:52 pm
Zoey, I am also a right-brained person, and I want to be a nurse as well! Although somebody who is left-brained is probably more likely to excel in the medical field, I think that if we work on our weaknesses and truly focus on the tasks ahead of us, that we can advance in the medical field as well!
Cody Morgan

Looking at a challenge with going against a few characteristics that your have naturally could be what ends up making that field worth the effort. As well as being there for people in need.

My career goal is to graduate from a University with a diploma in something that I am truly passionate about.

Tanner Holt

My career goal is to become a psychiatrist. Knowing my strengths and weaknesses will help me because I'll be able to know what things i have to work on in order to succeed in that field.For example my right side is more dominant therefore i will need to work on being more diligent and organized. Knowing my brain dominance will help me because it'll allow me to see if i made the right choice choosing my field of study.

my career goal is working somewhere in the law enforcement either as a parole officer or a CSI. Knowing my strengths will definitely help me with a hands on job like being an officer but some of my weaknesses can also effect a part of the career goal I want to achieve. Having a right brain dominance will even drive me more towards my goal.
Pedro Salvador

Marcos Salazar

Anything with law enforcement you will have to communicate to many. I believe that the way you interact with everyone else, that law enforcement will definitely suit you.

I am not sure what my career goal is yet, but I would love something that has to do with teaching, as I was getting to know how many left brain strengths there are I thought it was very interesting how much it can help you decide what career to choose, and what traits you posses in order to be successful in a certain field.
Marcos Salazar
8/28/2016 09:11:38 pm
I sure you can communicate fluently with others. Teaching of course, there is lot of speaking. Its a good career that will suit you. You helped me in the past, you speak well with other people. I am sure teaching will treat you right.

My career goal is to become a registered nurse. I find the medical field very interesting, and it has always appealed to me. Right-brained people tend to be more concerned with the big picture, which is an important quality for people in the medical field to have. They have to go above and beyond to save people's lives.They are required to do everything they can to get to the "big picture". My results for the hemispheric dominance inventory was 10-9, so I do also possess some left-brained characteristics as well. The left side of the brain deals with math/science which is what the medical field revolves around! I know that I have traits from both sides of the brain, which would make me an excellent addition to the medical field.
Makayla Besherse
8/28/2016 11:04:20 pm
You'll do great at whatever you put both sides of your mind to! Seeing the big picture is a big factor in qualifying you to be in the medial feild, especially when it comes to figuring out what is wrong with a patient, or trying to figure out the best way to talk to them.
Jemyri Hull
8/28/2016 11:06:19 pm
Right, most of us do have traits from both sides of the brain. Which is really good for something like becoming a nurse.
Dyamond Rhem' Brickhouse
8/29/2016 02:57:02 am
I agree I have always found the medical field to be interesting and my results came out to be the same as yours for the hemispheric dominance test.
Cody Morgan
8/29/2016 06:55:20 am
That is a field many people our age look into because of the challenge it gives us. I am left brained, but I still would never mind going into a more open minded career.

My career goal is to become a civil engineer and I recently found out that math is on the left side strengths, but I have been good at math thought all of school. That's why I was shocked to see that it wasn't one of my strengths.
Tristen vansant
8/28/2016 08:21:35 pm
Although you are are not left sided you probably have traits of both. Hard work is one of the keys to get where you want to go so I hope you continue your endeavor to become a civil engineer
Ethan Cade Rowland
8/28/2016 09:29:18 pm
Many people like you have traits of both sides which make them unique.

Marcos Salazar
8/28/2016 09:05:39 pm
Now, I don't know my career goal. "You should think of it now, you are a senior." I know but if I were to give you an answer, it will be a lie. I enjoy numbers, I enjoy math, but to say I'd like to be a teacher, I wouldn't be giving you a 100% sure answer. I do enjoy law, I get to know my rights, but to say to become a layer, I am not sure. All of that I am certain that in any career I choose will involve communicating with others. The dominant side of brain will help me further my knowledge of myself and what I would like to become. It will help me know my weakness and my strengths.

My career goal is to find a job in the media field, preferably filming and editing but I want experience in everything. Filming really helps me show off my right brain characteristics. I know filming is right for me because I can be creative and I can make what I want to make without needing someone directing my ideas. Also because there are just so many things you can do with making videos which is good for me because I need spontaneity in my life.
Alec Hou
8/29/2016 12:06:14 am
Hi Makayla, I also like filming and editing but I am not sure I would do well in that field. I hope you can do media projects in the future! One right brain trait was creativity and I bet that would help you on creating.

My career goal is to have something to do with forensic science. The parts of the right brain that would help me would be creativity, imagination, and visualization. Having the "big picture" is a helpful thing to help figure out the crime zone. Communication is a need for this job because you need to communicate your ideas and discoveries.
Jemyri Hull
8/28/2016 11:10:03 pm
Science can be very creative indeed, which is excellent for a right-brain person.

I want to become an animator for cartoons or games. And part of that job is being able to listen and understand when you're on a team creating a show/game. Because storys have scripts, and directors lead those scrpits. The left side of the brain has the understanding and language traits. Which to me seems like what is needed.

My career goal is to become a Child Protective Service Investigator. Knowing my strengths and weaknesses will be a major part in my job because i will be dealing with young children. Having an imagination is a good strength that i have and also thinking with pictures. Those two strengths give me the ability to find easy ways for children to get out to the environment i may be trying to get them out of. A weakness of mine is being verbal, but while i am working with children that will not be a problem. Knowing my brain dominance is good for me to know because it helps me better my career.

Once I've completed high school I will be joining the armed forces. From reading and studying my hemispheric dominance I believe that the military is the right path for me. By knowing my brain dominance the traits that the left-brained user has such as, mathematics, logical, and strategic are very suitable for the situations that I would be put through.
