Linda,
============================================
This stuff fascinates me.
============================================
Me, too. That must be our common ground.
Reaching back more than eight years for that information, I came up at a loss to explain it, plus I didn't want anyone to try to classify themselves based on my surface explanation. Fortunately, there is a website with more info...I'll bet you could get more out of that than anything more I can tell you. Here's the link:

From your description of the giant jigsaw puzzle, I'd say that one of your orientations is physical. You must understand that everyone has all three aspects, but that some have more balance in the relationship between them.
Though I'm Physical/Mental, I routinely cry over movies, Reader's Digest stories and spilt milk.
The only Mental/Mental I ever knew was also deeply emotional--about her own family--but absolutely uncaring about anyone else. It was as if she had her own moral code that she absolutely adhered to, but it didn't include compassion. Oddly, she never struck me as brilliantly intellectual, which the description would lead you to think. I don't think it has anything at all to do with personality or intellect.
The fact that you scored balanced as to left/right brain also leads me to believe you have a balanced cognitive style. I'm so far off the charts on the left that they want to put my picture in the dictionary for it.
Strangely enough, I majored in English rather than something you might expect, like engineering or accounting. Maybe it was my generation, or the fact that I see numbers in a consistent pattern that's sort of reminiscent of a double helix (in that spatially it's three dimensional), rather than neatly ranked. Never could do math until they invented calculators, lol.
Maybe because the Mental part is more interested in ideas than in hard facts. I think that may be why the whole Law of Attraction/Quantum Physics subject matter resonates so strongly with me.
Go visit the website, and see what you can come up with.
