The picture is from a series of Mercedes Benz ads. The text says:
Left brain:
I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.
Right brain:
I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feat. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.
Accordingly, studies have shown that your brain type have an effect on how you work/study. For example some people may struggle with specific assignments that are more structured. To quote from a source I found:
Typically, dominant left brain students will be more organized, they'll watch the clock, and they'll analyze information and process it sequentially.
They are often cautious, and they follow rules and schedules. Left brain students are strong in math and science, and can answer questions quickly. Left brain students would make great Jeopardy contestants.
On the other hand, right-brain students are the dreamers. They can be very intelligent and very deep thinkers—so much so that they can get lost in their own little worlds. They make great students of the social sciences and the arts. They are more spontaneous than the cautious left-brainers, and they are likely to follow their own gut feelings.
Right brainers are very intuitive and have great skill when it comes to seeing through lies or tricks. They would make great Survivor contestants.
What about people who are right in the middle? Everyone is different, and everyone has characteristics from both types. Some people are very equal when it comes to characteristics. Those students are middle brain oriented, and they might do well on The Apprentice. Why?
Students who are middle brain oriented can have strong qualities from either hemisphere. Those students can benefit from logic from the left and intuition from the right. That sounds like a great recipe for success in business, doesn't it?
To take the test to see if you are more right brain dominated or left brain dominated, click here to take a 54 question quiz.
After taking the test, it will give you a breakdown on how you use your brain. Here are the categories that it will show you:
Left Brain Categories
- Symbolic Processing
- Sequential Processing
- Linear Processing
- Logical Processing
- Verbal Processing
- Reality-based Processing
Right Brain Categories
- Concrete Processing
- Holistic Processing
- Intuitive Processing
- Fantasy-oriented Processing
- Nonverbal Processing
- Random Processing
Do note that however, there is a disclaimer:
Disclaimer: The information in the Test (the Test) is published for the sole purpose of intellectual stimulation, education and general knowledge. In no way is the Test to be considered a complete or fully accurate psychological portrait. The Art Institutes and EDMC do not hold any responsibility or liability for your use of the Test or its results.Have fun! And remember not to take the results too seriously as I doubt there is an accurate way of telling which side of the brain do you use more.
