Toomim's Cognitive Behavior Questionaire:
Directed to Specific Brain Areas
For reference to your brain please check the graphic below

  1. Do you easily get lost?
    T6, Right posterior temporal lobe, automatic direction memory here

  2. Do you recognize people you have recently met about a week ago?
    T6, Right inferior mid temporal lobe. Face Fusiform Area 

  3. Do you recognize neighbor's houses? Would you note a strange car on your block?
    T6; Superior mid temporal lobe compares shapes, objects to memory 

  4. Do you like to read? If no, find out why.

  5. 1. Do you recognize words on a page by shape?
    T4; Right Superior mid temporal lobe compares shapes, objects to memory

  6. If dyslexic then inferior right temporal lobe is substituting for superior T4

  7. 2.  Else T5. Transfers to left superior temporal lobe, Werneke's area.

  8. Do you find reading is too much work? Is lack of understanding the problem? 
    T5; Left lateral frontal lobe and left superior mid temporal lobe, Werneke's area 

  9. 3. Do you find yourself rereading paragraphs?
    Fp1, Fp2, Fp3, left inferior frontal and left lateral frontal areas; working memory deficit. Check TOVA for impulsivity. 

  10. Do you find your spoken words are different from your intent?
    T3-F7. Superior left lateral frontal lobe, anterior superior temporal lobe. Broca's area controls speech production

  11. Do you keep lists of things to do?
    F3, F4, Fp1, and Fp2. Lists substitute for mid term working memory.

  12. Do you have trouble prioritizing your time?
    F7. Left anterior temporal lobe for organization 

  13. Are you often late for appointments?
    F3, F7, and T5. Logical memory retrieval and storage areas.

  14. Do you sometimes find yourself unknowingly rereading a news column or book for a while before you realize it?
    F7- T3; Memory recall

  15. Are you impulsive, like needing to beat the yellow traffic light?
    Fp1, Fp2, Fpz, and Fz. Frontal cortex, check TOVA, and anterior cingulate gyrus

  16. Do you often find yourself unable to stop a recurring thought?
    Fpz- Fz anterior cingulate gyrus

  17. Are you uncomfortable sitting still? 
    Fpz, Fz. Anterior cingulate gyrus.

  18. Do you ever feel guilty or ashamed?
    Fp2 Right orbital frontal gyrus

  19. Did you bond with your mother?
    Fp2 Right orbital frontal gyrus.

Congratulations! If you arrived here without a find then your problem.  
If any, is probably not a physiological brain dysfunction.
