Team Suck Oasis - DPChallenge Forums

So as an adjunct of my job, I've been playing with taking pictures of tractors.......I've been published in our company newsletter.....and I'll actually be able to help out by documenting our exposure/participation in trade shows for help from the Mother Ship with advertising expenses. I particularly like this view of this large, powerful new tractor just sitting there looking awesome in the rainy, gloomy morning light.

um... surprised it was only 70? ;) Interestingly, one of the first things I noticed about DPC was that it was highly skewed to the left brain. Team Suck is kind of a right-brain haven.

Hmm....does that mean we're all alike?

Some people might not like being lumped in with my kind of peculiar! LOL!!!

That is kinda funny!

My wife's an EE and she thinks in a really linear, logical manner.

Her only fly in the ointment is that she married me, proving once and for all that love is not only blind, it ain't real bright, either! LOL!!!

So.....you know what the difference is between a mechanical and a civil engineer?

I got 50-50, with which I was pretty happy after second guessing all the questions. In most cases I wanted to say yes to both alternatives anyway.

25% left, 75% right for me.

Anyone got two minutes to pass judgement on which of my three possibles I should put in for panning?

I am left-handed, I believe that gives me an edge...

I'm 20/80, but I'm lefthanded too. Woo!

Now, there's an interesting question: how many TS members are left-handed, how many right-handed? Wonder if the proportion of lefthanders is higher in our little group...

Well, I'm not sure....I am theoretically right-handed, but my handwriting is abysmal; and I was raised in a time where my natural inclination to be left-handed may have been quashed due to the thinking at the time.

I'm quasi-ambidextrous in that some of the fine dextrous work that I do is more left-leaning, and my left hand is also stronger.

But I've always worked with my hands so it's hard to delineate.

Suffice it to say that as a manually dextrous guy, they're both really useful!....8>)

It's disturbing to think how much that happened. In my family it wasn't a big deal - my father and two children (incl. myself) were lefties, my mother and my other two siblings were righties.

Genau! I had a few that were definitely one or the other but for most it was both. And I ended up 50-50. Does that make us indecisive? Oh, and I'm most definitely right handed. Other than typing, my left hand is generally clueless. Though it can zoom and focus, I'll give it that.

I'm right handed. I have one brother and he's a lefty. I bet if he took that test he would be left brained. We are completely opposite in our thinking.

And right handed.
And dubious about the validity of that test :p (but it did use up a good 5-10 mins of working hours, so it was all good)

I'm 50/50. I noticed the questions seem biased, right-brained traits look more fun, and we all like to think of ourselves as fun people.

I am right-handed but I have red hair.

It's all about sneaking in that little mental recess in the middle of the workday. Speaking of "mental," I'm in for Bread.

My sister is left-handed and has red hair (We're both adopted.) and is also one of the most dull, uninspired people I know.....not an adventurous bone in her body.

Don't get me wrong, she's nice enough, just really kind of right down the middle.
