why do we have right brained and left brained tests if...?

Question

if...we can get to know wether we are left or right brained just by judging by which hands we use to do things...i mean...we can judge it by the fact whether we are right handed or left handed...

i mean...often they show in online tests...right brained for ppl who are right handed(it should be vice versa isnt it?)

but it shows right handed people right brained--thats not correct...they could have easily asked ppl what handed were they...
instead they use questions to determine it!

Answer 1

actually, we can't judge persons as being left or right brained just on the basis on which hands we predominantly use. it's just that majority of the important centers in our brain are located on the left side. for example, the area that controls language and speech. according to my professor, majority of the population are actually left-brained. and as for left handed people, ony a few percent are right brained. most of them are still left-brained.

Answer 2

I am not exactly a brain expert but I do believe that the right brain and the left brain controls different things. For example, the right brain may be controlling more of stuffs that requires understanding and left brain controls our capabilities to remember things.

So, it is not exactly correct to say that we are right-brained or left brained just because we are left-handed or right-handed. We may be using both brains but maybe to a certain extent we use more of a certain part without our knowledge and the online tests shows us how much we are using.

Answer 3

You're right!

The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body...and the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body...so, be nice to left-handed people, they are the only ones in their right minds!
