Interesting. I've always been 'left-brain' (engineer strong in math, science, etc) but the image is turning clockwise .... :confused:

Although I didn't do that, I agree with u that u shouldn't download anything unless u trust the source.

Quote from jinxu:

I suspect that test has a virus, so I'm not gonna download it. I've taken online tests before and none has ever ask that you download something. So I'm not sure why this would unless it has a virus.
 
Ahh a mind game – okay I’ll bite (btw this figurine was posted here a long time ago also)


I can spin it either way – at will – big woo


So for something completely different….. and to let’s say… make it interesting – and useful……

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enter in a trade

Now see if you can spin it either way – at will

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get in a losing position

Again see if you can spin it either way – at will

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Get in a winning position

And again see if you can spin it either way – at will



When you can subject yourself to “trading” stress levels – and still remain level headed, calm, and centered enough to spin the figurine either way – at will…


You stand a chance – but until then – who knows…

I'm interested in knowing the psychological makeup of trader. Or at the very least the ones that are on Elitetrader. Here's a simple test for left/right brain dominant. There's no questions. All you got to do is look at a picture of a dancer spinning and it'll only take you a minute at most. Here's the link:

Here's also a list of the left brain and right brain functions.:

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

Which side do you think is more useful to trading? And Why?
I think the left brain is more useful, we do trading depending on our decision when there are numbers of change, will have a logistic thought in our mind and we will make a decision
 
Quote from RCG Trader:

To eliminate optics in charts, use indicators and know the maths behind them. As they say, numbers do not lie, unless we make them:D

According to the test, I am right brained, and I noticed an upward price action opportunity in MTLQQ 2 monday's ago that lasts for only a few days and doesn't reappear for another 4 months.
 
started counter-clockwise for me. for a few minutes she would not reverse. then i tried to see if she has any panties on and suddenly she reversed! now she just keeps going clockwise for the longest time and refuses to reverse.

not sure if i am doing anything wrong...:confused:

Cover her entire body up with your hand except for her foot on the ground. Focus on that until it reverses then remove your hand.

Sometimes too much information (like too many indicators or too many body parts) can mass up your perception.
