Left and right brain analysis of the "Where's waldo" challenge.
Right brain: before we get into, "Find the pope in the pizza" challenge let me enter lightly into the hidden faces.
Left Brain: Why hidden faces. That is already in progress. You must be taking a beating from the left brainers.
R.B. In the Waldo, you are asked to hide. In the hidden
faces, no such request was made.
L.B. But the very name says, Hidden Faces. What am I to make
of this?
R.B. Let me illustrate. If you put a female electrical socket
on a table the left brain folks will see just
that. A female socket. The right brainer will see the
socket but will also discern the face.
Once pointed it out the left brainer will say,
you're right. So you see the face was
actually hid.
L.B. But is it not the object to find the face?
R.B. Yes, but the face we are finding can be right before our
nose, but it is not a real face.
It is something that looked on differently yields an
approximation to a face.
L.B. What if I see a cloud formation and can see a face. I
mean, the face is not really hid because
I can see it. But you say, since it is not a real face
that is why is hid?
R.B. Precicely. Nothing is hid and without our imagination we
will not be able to put it together
and because of this we say the face is hidden.
L.B. Now, what if I see say a hidden face in a rock
formation. Say, I decide to outline
the face. Is this not depriving the viewer from finding
it?
R.B. Yes, you are. In fact, you are helping him, but he must
then be able to look inside the ribbon
and be satisfied that the hidden face is there. The
challenge does not prohibit you for adding
the ribbon because he is not ultimately judging the
ribbon, he is judging the hidden face.
L.B. Ah, but we left brainers are sticklers for details.
R.B. Yes, you are. We can read instruction and apply a low
IQ understanding or we can apply
a high IQ understanding. Challenges should always
receive the high IQ understanding.
L.B. Are you saying right brainers understand better?
R.B. No such thing. Left brainers are very efficient
moving work but are lazy to think in High IQ mode
because it simply takes longer.
Right brainers never get so much done because
they function better at High IQ mode. However, left
brainers have equal capacity if they
decide to spend the time.
L.B. Okay. let me go into high IQ mode. It then follows
that if the object of the challenge is to
show a hidden face then the image that nobody can
find a face wins.
R.B. You hit it on the spot. That proves how absurd it is to
read the challenges too literal.
L.B. But I believe that the left brainers will vote lower the
images that have additions. He, he.
R.B. And the right brainers will vote them higher.
L.B. You exhude an air as if right brainers are superior.
R.B. That is only in your mind. We are indeed a hybrid. That
is we all alternate between right and left.
It all depends where you want to hang out. When you are
keeping books stay in the left brain. Go on the right
and the accounting will be too creative and end
you in jail. When you do art go to the right for the
ideas and to the left for technique.
L.B. So, Waldo does say hide.
R.B. Yes, Waldo is different but again the object is more to
disguise. It would be stupid to outline Waldo with a
red ribbon.
L.B. What is the high IQ take in waldo?
R.B. It has less pitfalls then hidden faces though in waldo
you can really try to hide a face.
I say hide not in the literal sense. In the original,
one member really hid a face in a flower.
L.B. But that was a set up shot.
R.B. There is nothing wrong with a set up shot, they bring
more problems to solve then natural
images. But give the guy credit, he really hid the
face. Others will use humor and artistic
renditions. These are always looked askance by the left
brainers.
L.B. Are you not insulting left brainers?
R.B. Of course not. The left brain is also part of me.
It is only the other side of the same coin.
L.B. I think I enjoy low balling the right brainer,
hehe. Did they clean your clock?
R.B. the time you spend indulging, I spend creating.
lol

This is hilarious, but true in life.
By the way, I'm sure there's a 12-step program available in your area!
LOL - Thanks for sharing Dan.

Ah...that was pretty analytical for a Left brainer.
Actually, I have the same affliction but I'm primarily a south paw (right brainer).
Then top that off with me being a Virgo and you know where my voting style is headed...Critical and Analytical... Let me at em, I think I'll go vote now... =) |

Hello. Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline
If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press 1 repeatedly.
If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2.
If you have multiple personalities, please press 3, 4, 5, and 6.
If you are paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you want. Just stay on the line so we can trace the call.
If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press.
If you are manic-depressive, it doesn't matter which number you press. No one will answer.
If you are anxious, just start pressing numbers at random.
If you are phobic, don't press anything.
If you are anal retentive, please hold. |
