Left Brained or Right Brained





You Are 40% Left Brained, 60% Right Brained


The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.

The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.




Was doing some marking on yesterday's lesson, then a student mentioned about being right brainer and how computing is more suitablef or left brainers... so I decided to go find a little quiz to do on it...

Left brainers usually more the mathematical, logical kinda ppl and right brainers more of the actistic, creative people I think???

Looks like I'm almost in the middle, slightly more right brained than left...?
I think I could describe myself alittle from both descriptions.


Then there's this site that talks about the learning style of right brainers and left brainers.

Linear VS Holistic Processing

The left side of the brain processes information in a linear manner. It process from part to whole. It takes pieces, lines them up, and arranges them in a logical order; then it draws conclusions.

The right brain, however, processes from whole to part, holistically. It starts with the answer. It sees the big picture first, not the details. If you are right-brained, you may have difficulty following a lecture unless you are given the big picture first. You're the student who needs to know why you are doing something.

I think I'm more right here because I totally hate learning some topics until I know why am I learning them!! And I love to look at big pictures first and not the details!!!

Sequential VS Random Processing

The left brain processes in sequence -- in order. The left-brained person is a list maker, you would enjoy making a master schedule and doing daily planning. You complete tasks in order and take pleasure in checking them off when they are accomplished. Likewise, learning things in sequence is relatively easy for you. The left brain is also at work in the linear and sequential processing of math and in following directions.

The right-brained student is random. If you are right-brained, you may flit from one task to another. You will get just as much done but perhaps without having addressed priorities. You were ready to rebel when asked to make study schedules for the week. Because the right side of the brain is color sensitive, you might try using colors to learn sequence.

Oooh, my sweetie is DEFINITELY a left brainer!!! He LOVES to plan his days and takes pleasure in completing his tasks.
Now I think I really more right brain dominant liao, I have to do many things at a time and I ABSOLUTELY have to HIGHTLIGHT my notes!!! Nicole they all always joke abt my materials science text, ask me go highlight my whole book... cuz if I dun highlight it, I just cant see the words...somehow....
Now I k now it's because my brain is COLOUR sensitive!!! heehee...
