TOTAL
How to Determine your Score?
1) Count the number of LEFT, RIGHT and EITHER responses
2) Multiply the number of RIGHT responses by 3. This number = R
3) Multiply the number of EITHER responses by 2. This number = E
4) Add R + E + (number of LEFT responses). This sum is your score.

How to interpret your score?

Score Handedness
33 to 36 Strongly Right-Handed
29 to 32 Moderately Right-Handed
25 to 28 Weakly Right-Handed
24 Ambidextrous

Brain Lateralization
Brain Lateralization is a complex and ongoing process by
which differing regions of the brain “take over” the
functioning of specific behaviors and cognitive skills.
Lateralization literally means that certain functions are
located (in part or total) on one side of the brain.
Functions related to the right hemisphere include judging the
position of objects in space, understanding of body position,
comprehending and remembering things you do and see,
putting pieces of information together to make an entire
picture, and motor control of the left side of the body.
Functions related to the left side of the brain include understanding and use of language
(listening, reading, speaking and writing), memory for spoken and written language, analysis of
information in detail, and motor control of the right side of the body. These skills develop
naturally over time in children and deficits in several related areas of functioning could suggest
problems with this process.
Activity 2:
Let’s Check How Much You Understand!

Mark calculates and solves mathematical problems quickly and accurately. In fact, he
was the school’s representative in the Division Level Math Olympiad in 2019 and bagged the
First Place in the Senior High School category.

Subsequently, he portrays well as an actor in a school’s theatrical presentation and

obtained a three-in-all turns in the blind audition at ABS-CBN in 2019 when he rendered an
amazing Pinoy version of “Dance with my Father”.

Indeed, Mark is a mathematician and an artist.

QUESTIONS:

1) How will you classify Mark? Is he more of a left or right-brained student? Why?

LEFT, because he is good and intelligent when it comes to mathematical

2) Which functions do the right-handed differ from that of the left-handed students or
individuals? Explain briefly.

for right hands used in writing difficult for them writing with right hand

3) What was the result of your handedness test? If you are a left-handed, how will you
develop the functions and other specialized skills in your right hemisphere to be an
ambidextrous? Draw your personal plan to enhance your brain functions.
LESSON 6: Personal Relationships
