Is it better to be left brained, or to be right brained??

Question

Just something I always wondered... I took a test and apparently I'm left brained :P

well...I took a few test...and I'm sort of even. On two of them I'm right, and on two of them I'm left. lol

Answer 1

The notion that there is a division in physical terms is a myth, but in terms of being more analytical or more emotive or holistic, i think it would be better to be both, which i apparently am.

Answer 2

I think both are necessary. If everyone were the same, think of all the things we would miss in our society. Neither is necessarily "better." Which do yo think is "better," or more relevant? Newton's Law of Gravity or Pavlov's work on the conditioned reflex? There is no "better," only different. Both were necessary to develop our species to this point and both right and left brained humans are vital to our existence.

Be glad you are not "both," as I am and have been in conflict my entire life over having too many interests and not being able to choose just one, two or three of them! ;)

Answer 3

I unfortunately am both. your brain is working so fast at times you end up getting nothing accomplished. This is a typical project, i get going , and before know it I'm already finished in my head. thinking of something completely different I which kills what your doing. I can take a test and fly through it . But when i have to use motor skills this speed just makes them last forever.

Answer 4

Braininess is the inverse of handiness - left brained people are usually right handed, right brained people are usually left handed.

Consistently in human populations, about eight people are right handed for every one who is left handed.

To me, that says human groups need to have a population that is mostly right handed, but that is also about 11% left handed, and each person in the group needs to be what he is.

Answer 5

A "no-brainer:" you are right. A warm, funny, and profound account of a right-brainy woman who was raised to be a left-brainer: "Expecting Adam," Martha Beck.

Answer 6

If you are right handed, you on average live longer than a person who is left-handed.

as I recall, left side of the brain results in you being more creative or artistic by nature, right side makes you more mathematical or logical in your thinking. That could be reversed.

Answer 7

I think the best thing of all is to use the brain you have. Regardless of which side you use, as long as you are using some small portion of it, I am happy.
