If my thinking is influenced by my left brain am I more interpersonal or more intrapersonal?

Answer 1

Both interpersonal and intrapersonal styles are more associated with the right brain.

Answer 2

The current consensus seems to be that the left brain is more tied to intrapersonal skills. None the less I don't think you should use that consensus as a basis to judge which one you are.

Although there are a lot articles on the matter I do think any of their findings are conclusive or based in enough evidence to support a strong argument either way. It seems likely that there isn't a strong connection either way and it may have more to do with the level of synchronization between the two hemispheres and a combination of other factors. Still I have seen more articles stating that the left brain dominance tends to be tied to more intrapersonal skills, and the right brain to intrapersonal. Like I said none of these have shown what I consider to be strong scientific evidence. Here are some examples:

Answer 3

I don't know if it can really be seen as a left-brain/right-brain trait. But in my experience, being a left-brained person, whose father is left-brained and mother is right-brained, I've found that generally left-brained tend to be more intrapersonal, and right-brains tend to be more out there and interpersonal. I don't know if it's just that I feel my thinking is different to others and tend to deal less with others or a general trait. Having said that, though, my sister is very strongly right-brained and very much keeps to herself, so I suppose that blows my theory out of the water!

Answer 4

I would think more logical and sequential, whether you are interpersonal or intrapersonal.

Answer 5

I don't believe that this can be shown factually and actually it is probably some theory, but I think you would have to give me some scientific evidence and then the conclusion so that I could look at it myself.

Answer 6

You are more analytical than creative.
You are more reasonable than intuitive.
