In psychclass, we each took a quiz to see whether we’re predominantly left or right-brained. Left brain thinkers are rational, objective, and analytical. Right brain thinkers are random, intuitive, and creative. There were points distributed between right and left brain; I scored 6 and 6. Architect Peter Zumthor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Zumthor) said, "Associative, wild, free, ordered, and systematic thinking in images, in architectural, spatial, colorful, and sensuous pictures—this is my favorite definition of design." Architecture is the perfect balance between reason and creativity, the perfect mix of math and science with art. It presents challenges and the chance to impact people, which is exactly what I want out of my carreer.
Here's a similar quiz, if anyone wants to try it out: http://www.testcafe.com/lbrb/?affil=
We were given the same test in AP psych! I agree, careers in design really require strength and knowledge in all disciplines. The perfect mix!
