</div>Haven't taken it yet, but I wonder how the time of day it's taken and other conditions influence the results. I can imagine someone with a youthful brain taking it under really bad conditions and at the wrong time concluding her brain is not so youthful -- and someone with a not so youthful brain taking it under ideal conditions and concluding, in comparison with the former person, that his brain is in good shape (or better than hers).<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>Take a left-right brain test before a day of work and after. In my case I went from 35/65 to 65/35 in the course of 9 hours. Does that invalidate the test or "prove" that the brain is really so adaptive that it can change significantly depending on task(s) ?<br>
<br>Most likely the test itself is meaningless, the account creation is what pays the bills - every email collected is $$ to someone in a cross-marketing situation. </cynicism><br>
