I am good at taking multiple-choice tests. For example, even though I failed Algebra on a number of occasions in high school, I knew enough about how the SAT worked to get a decent math score. Apparently this skill allows me to fool "The Man" into thinking that I, one of the least logical people on the planet, have, get this, "a well-working blend of logic and judgment and organization". I can hear Godfrey howling with laughter at this. Other amusing phrases are in italics. Take the quiz yourself here. I hijacked this from Jen's Very Big Blog. (Welcome back from Pennsic!)

Ginevra, you are mildly left-hemisphere dominant while showing a slight preference for auditory processing. This overall combination seems to indicate a well-working blend of logic and judgment and organization, with sufficient intuition, perception and creativity to balance that dominance.
You will at times experience conflict between how you feel and what you think which will generally be resolved in favor of what you think. [BUZZ! Incorrect, but thank you for playing! You'll recieve a case of Rice-a-Roni, the San Fransisco treat, and Turtle Wax.~Ginevra] You will find yourself interested in the practical applications of whatever material you have learned or whatever situation you face and will retain the ability to refine whatever knowledge you possess or aspects of whatever position you are in.
By and large, you will orient yourself toward intellectual activities and structure. Though not rigid, you will schedule yourself, plan, and focus on routine and continuity of operations, rather than on changes and disruptions [Punctuation please! /former proofreader]
When changes or disruptions occur, you are likely to consider first how to ensure that such disruptions do [??? English major no like this fragment! ~G] The same balance is reflected in your sensory preference. You will tend to be reflective and measured in your interaction style. For the most part, you will be considered objective without being cold and goal-oriented while retaining the capacity to listen to others.
Preferentially you learn by listening and maintaining significant internal dialogues with yourself. [Now THIS is true, I have inner monologues and dialogues all the time. ~G] Nevertheless, you have sufficient visualization capabilities to benefit from using graphs, charts, doodles, or even body movement [Okay, you got me there, be sure to ask Lunchbox and Lisa about the "Dance of Dispair and Disillusionment" I performed in the middle of the Home Depot last Saturday when explaining the rat encounter. ~G] to enhance your comprehension and memory.
To the extent that you are even implicitly aware of your hemispheric dominance and sensory style, you will feel most comfortable in those arenas which emphasize verbal skills and logic. Teaching, law, and science are those that stand out among the professions, along with technical sales and management.
Wow, I haven't had a laugh that good in some time!
