Hey, I resemble that remark! Computer dweeb by day, artist by night,
that's me.

Last year we did a cognitive brain mapping of our group at work. This
was *not* a personality test, rather it was intended to discover a
person's preferred modes of thinking. If one tries to communicate with
someone who has a different cognitive preference, and neither of you is
aware of the differences, it is extremely easy to garble the
communication. Anyway, I ended up with an almost even split between
left-brain and right-brain dominance in terms of preferred mode of
thinking.
