This is another OkCupid test which got me wondering. Since so many seem to group people in either logical or creative, scientist or artist, if we on the Autistic Spectrum can be a particular exception to this divider line and perhaps sometimes be both. See what you get and then mention whether you consider yourself logical/scientist, creative/artist, or both.

Albert Einstein
You scored 33% artistic!

Mr "E=mc²" The Left Brainer, an extremely logical being. That does not mean you suck at any kind of art form. Far from it. You are likely to be a gifted musician,writer. It's just that you are not a visual, "artistic" person. Although if you scored closer to 40 you have potential, just need to bring them to the surface. Don't let thoughs like "I can't draw" put you off trying. Observe carefully and the rest is just inspiration hand eye coordination. Healthy brain has a trumendous capacity for learning. Which side you end up using more, depends on which sode you train more intensively. And that is mostly down to your interests, aspirations and influences.

I scored as Einstein; however, I consider myself both very logical as well as creative. What about YOU?

Leonardo Da Vinci
You scored 51% artistic!
You are a true Renaissance person like Leonardo. You could do just well as a painter,musician, inventor, sculptor, architect, engineer or a web designer. As matter of fact anything, if you put your mind to it. This means you are using both hemispheres of your brain equally. Well Done! It's a Gift! That and the dyslexia which many of you might have on some level in this category. Logically, everyone should fall into this category, which just proves that humans aren't 'just' logical beings. Motivation might just be the missing element to your success. When you have so many talents, it is hard to focus and commit to just one. But it's OK, you don't have to. Explore and enjoy all the possibilities! That is what life is about! Always check your spelling and Good Luck on your journey!

not really surprising...

That and the dyslexia which many of you might have on some level in this category. Your score is very close to that of Van Gogh's, which means you might want to get organised a bit. Paying more attention to the world around you wouldn't do any harm. Nature strives for balance, so should you. Logically, everyone should fall into this category, which just proves that humans aren't 'just' logical beings. Motivation might just be the missing element to your success.

and all this time I thought I was just random and sloppy

Eh, its kinda weird that I'm apparently more artistic than Sophist, I've never taken an art class since 7th grade, but then I'm a pretty decent writer. Still, I think some of the questions on there were of dubious usefulness.

It's just that you are not a visual, "artistic" person. Now get to an Art Gallery or buy a paintbrush real quick and start training up that Right Hemisphere. Creativity helped us get us down from the trees, as much as logic! "Human creativity gave birth to a civilization that is destroying itself through science"(VN 2005)

ps:Our aspirations don't always SEEM to match our abilities.Your result turns out to be "Einstein", it's because your answers indicated that the Left side of your brain is more dominant. That means you are less visual. The good news, is that the brain can be trained. As a matter of fact, more you use one hemisphere the stronger, more dominant it gets. Healthy brain has a trumendous capacity for learning. Which side you end up using more, is mostly down to your interests, aspirations and influences.

Seems to suit me well. I'm logical and don't see myself as at all artistic, though I absolutely love music, and consider it the highest form of art. Art gallerys are also mildly interesting. I'd prefer a Science musem any day though

39% artistic.

If I'm artistic I get there by careful observation and innovative construction and design.
Soul of an engineer.

Into Leonardo's machines, and Escher's drawings.
Oh, and Rowland Emett.
