As I studied the left and the right brain functions, I would have assumed based on their titles that I function more from the left side of the brain. However, as I read the descriptions of the right brain I realized that I associate more to the right side. I have never thought of myself as a creative person. However, the descriptions are all me!

On the left side, I am good at memorizing, numbers and strategizing. On the right side, I am able to see the big picture and details at the same time. I have a good intuition. I am definitely a visual thinker. I have to see something to get it. I am really good at improvising and the flow of sentences when writing is not a challenge. I am really good at communicating my feelings, visions, dreams and emotions and I trust what I feel. I pretty much have covered the entire right brain descriptions.

I was surprised to find out that I function mostly from the right side. Good fun!!
