A Cool New Toy for Mind Mapping

All you left-brained people are going to love this. If you're not sure whether you are left or right-brained, take this quiz:

Hemispheric Dominance Inventory

Interestingly, according to this test, I was only slightly more left-brained, where I always thought of myself as intuitive.

Anyway! After seeing Jonathan Rivera (Real-Tech Guy) use mind mapping, it looked pretty cool and thought it would be worth a try. I downloaded this brainstorming and mind-mapping software:

XMind XMind

I thought it'd be fun to create a mind map to Creating a Video with the free version of the software. I don't know if I'm just not doing it right, or if my brain is not logical, or a little of both. However, it was fun and I thought I'd like to share it with you.

Mind map - How to create a video

It definitely needs work but I'm guessing there are those of you who can take off with it and find lots of great uses for it. (Plus make it look a lot better than this!) I hope I'm right!

Nice subject matter for an interesting post.

Now why is it that I feel that if I try it, my head will simply explode?

It works now. First click on the link provided, then the link to take the actual test is at the bottom of the page, but I felt the explanation it provides is a good read before you take the test.

Hi Lynda, It said I needed to see a "shrink" LOL not really.

Enjoy the day, Clint McKie

You're welcome, Pamelyn.

Clint, it's Monday on top of that. Go get some caffeine, and take it again. ;) Just kidding.
