The Verdict

Now lets take a look at what your hands-related gesture said about your character, based on the dominant side of the brain you are using.

A right + B left

You are using the both sides of your brains in a balanced manner though you sometimes use your right brain more often. You are a caring person and tend to be conventional, sociable, vigilant, unselfish, and stable. You have hard times describing things in simple words and tend to be elaborate.

A right + B right

You are using your right brain in most situations and you love challenges. You tend to act natural, careless, reckless, reactive, quick in action, have a strong imagination, are curious and rarely taking peoples thoughts into consideration. You leave everything up to gut instinct.

A left + B left

You are a left brain dominant. You strive for perfection and it is your nature to be careless, logical, reliable and truthful. You think critically before arriving at a first impression, and think critically when confronting problems or drawing deeper conclusions. But sometimes you insist upon your opinion just because you feel that youre the only one who is right. People avoid standing against you, because they think youre a formidable opponent.

A left + B right

You are using both sides of your brains in most situations, but there are times when you depend more on your left brain. You love and have a talent for caring for other. You are a natural leader who is thoughtful, calm, responsible, well-thought-out and concerned with how you look. You are a smooth-talker and know how to deal with most situations. You leave more complex issues to instinct.
