Do you doodle?

There was a small story on the BBC website today, which was talking about how doodling can effect your memory capacity during a dull meeting or telephone conversation - rather than switching off, your brain can be more focused if you also doing a very simple task like doodling. There are some marvelous statistics that show something or other, but my mind wander and lost interest in the whole thing; you can't doodle and use the interest it seems...

More interesting is what your doodles says about you - my (mostly) geometric doodles say this about me:

Doodling boxes or perspective forms shows an advanced stage of artistic development. Simple 3-D boxes show an order mind and a love of routine and a good sense of spatial relationships. Stacking those boxes indicate great stress especially if that stack is in danger of toppling. Complex 3-D boxes are usually done by artists and designers or anyone who uses technical drawing. The doodler of these are motivated to experiment with design.

...a stressed genius clearly. I can't tell you how many stacked boxes I've been drawing lately!
