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!!
I also am a visual learner. I also need hands on activities.
