Downloadable Brain Preference Indicator Test

Mark Virkler's picture

In 1981 Roger W. Sperry won The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for producing evidence of left and right hemisphere brain functions. I (Mark Virkler) often discuss the difference between the function of the left and right hemispheres of the brain, as well as ways to help you shift from one hemisphere to the other.

You can print this out for yourself and your family members to complete. It is fun for all, and it is a great learning experience. It can really promote family understanding and family harmony. This is my favorite brain preference indicator test. I have had over 1000 students take it, and had them confirm to me that this accurately describes them and the way they operate internally.

The scale used on the brain preference test is similar to the Richter scale which measures the intensity of an earthquake. Each number increase on the Richter scale indicates an intensity that is ten times stronger. For example, an earthquake of magnitude 6 is ten times stronger than an earthquake of magnitude 5. An earthquake of magnitude 7 is 100 times stronger than an earthquake of magnitude 5 (10 times 10).

This scale works in the same way. So if your spouse has 4.5 as his brain preference score and you have 5.5, this means there is a tenfold difference internally in the way you and your spouse process life. If your score is 6.5 and his is 4.5, then there is a 100-fold difference in the way you internally process life. This is HUGE, and if you don’t honor the differences between you, it can produce great damage to your marriage. We are to serve one another with our gifts (1 Pet. 4:10), so the right-brain intuitive would offer profound, clear revelation from God which is the gift a prophet offers, and the left-brainer might organize it into chunks which can be effectively lived out, piece by piece, which is the gift a teacher offers.

Eighty percent of the population is between 4 and 6 on the brain preference scores, and ninety-eight percent of the population is between 3 and 7. So only one percent of the population has scores below 3 and another one percent of the people have scores above 7. Actually, a score of 4 is very left brain, and a score of 6 is very right brain.

Retake the test multiple times. Picture yourself in various life settings each time, (at home, work, etc.) to see if you are getting thrown off balance and not really being yourself while at work or at home or at play. If so, ask the Lord what He would like to say to you concerning this. Make any adjustments He recommends.

I have re-taken this test over a 30 year period, and essentially my score remains the same as it was 30 years ago. So my instinctive nature has not changed. However I have learned and grown a great deal over the years, and now I know how to purposely step from the left to the right side of my brain so I can receive spontaneous thoughts and spontaneous pictures from the Lord. Give the test a try and pass it around to your friends.

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 66 Pages

Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages | $15.99 retail list price

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know?

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this book.

How to Walk by the Spirit

How to Walk by the Spirit

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages | Previous name "Sense Your Spirit"

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
