Description

The Left Brain VS Right Brain Test [AQ-20] is an assessment tool aimed at understanding individuals’ cognitive styles by analyzing their preference for using the left or right hemisphere of the brain. The left brain is typically associated with logical thinking, analytical reasoning, and structure, while the right brain is linked to creativity, imagination, and holistic thinking.

Data Analysis and Use

The analysis of data from the AQ-20 test includes:

Scoring: Participants respond to questions evaluated on a Likert scale. Scores reflect the preference for logical or creative thinking.

Descriptive Statistics: Mean scores and standard deviations are calculated to determine the distribution of results.

Correlation: The relationship between test scores and other factors, such as age or gender, is analyzed.

Comparative Analysis: Different groups are compared to identify differences in cognitive style preferences.

Objective

The objective of the AQ-20 test is to understand individuals’ preferences regarding their cognitive abilities, highlight differences among people, and provide information that can be used in educational or professional contexts.

Calibration

The calibration of the AQ-20 involves adapting the tool for use in different populations. This is achieved through:

Cross-Cultural Studies: The test is examined in various cultural groups to ensure its validity and reliability.

Reliability Analysis: Techniques such as Cronbach’s alpha are used to determine the consistency of the questions.

Validity Testing: It is checked whether the AQ-20 reflects the actual cognitive preferences of the participants.
