Dear Silvy,

Thanks for thinking of me.

You found a way to employ my brain, even being on so deserved and desired vacation :) .

I am with a hyper active right brain :). But I don`t agree with you; this hyperactivity enables my walk over the clouds and between the stars, but doesn`t make any obstacles to the plain pedestrian, wearing my shoes.

So, I won`t encourage you to ponder on the brain marriage subject - simply it doesn`t work. Well, maybe I am not best example being so long divorced ...  I just think that life is much pleasurable, lovable and joyful, being supported by the right brain.

Oh yes ... I have experienced days of hunger, but believe me (and you may ask Sreten M., this one who was seeking for me in panics last night :) - see at my forum ) WHO WAS ALWAYS FIRST TO FIND A WAY TO EARN SOME FOOD DURING OUR DAYS OF ADVERSITY. LOL - of course by right brain supported  female :) ...

Thanks , I enjoyed this test and theme - very interesting, indeed.

HUGS TO YOUR FAMILY AND MOST AMAZING CITY WORLD WIDE - BELI ZAGREB GRAD !

People of left brain dominance tend to choose similar occupations.

People who are left brain dominant are usually good with these things. Below is a list of things that left brained people are good at or they like and things that are done in the left brain.

When a person is Right Brain Dominant, they are thought of as the dreamers, the artists, and teh musicians of the world. Just because they are not as good with numbers and remembering facts does not mean that they are "dumber" than a left brain person. They just have their strength in different areas. They do have similar characteristics and they tend to hold similar occupations.

People who are right brain dominant are usually good with these things. Here is some more characteristics of a right-brained person.

• Prefer rock music
• Right brain controls left side of body
• Prefer visual instructions with examples
• Good at sports
• Good at art
• Follow Eastern thought*
• Cat lovers
• Enjoy clowning around
• Can be hypnotized
• Like to read fantasy and mystery stories
• Can listen to music or TV while studying
• Like to write fiction
• Prefer group
• Fun to dream about things that will probably never happen
• Enjoy making up own drawings and images
• Good at geometry
• Like organizing things to show relation
• Can memorize music
• Occasionally absentminded
• Like to act out stories
• Enjoy interacting affectively with others
• Think better when lying down
• Become restless during long verbal explanations
• Enjoy creative storytelling
• Prefer to learn through free exploration
• Good at recalling spatial imagery
• Read for main details
• Skilled in showing relationships between ideas
• Preference for summarizing over outlining
• Solve problems intuitively
• Very Spontaneous and unpredictable
• Dreamer
• philosophical

In order to be more “whole-brained” in their orientation, schools need to give equal weight to the arts, creativity, and the skills of imagination and synthesis.

To foster a more whole-brained scholastic experience, teachers should use instruction techniques that connect with both sides of the brain. They can increase their classroom’s right-brain learning activities by incorporating more patterning, metaphors, analogies, role playing, visuals, and movement into their reading, calculation, and analytical activities.

For a more accurate whole-brained evaluation of student learning, educators must develop new forms of assessment that honor right-brained talents and skills.

Hello Peter,

Thanks for the fun.

I studied Economy :) .... and trust me, even with the 3 bottles of wine , from the first glance I could know how much is 47 + 57 :) ...

But you gave me a big job. To think about my decision to study Economy and to finish it easy and successfully (even though being right brained :) ) ...

And after Branka`s post ... I really search all over the different sources to "balance" my thoughts and insights about our 2 brains war or peace.

Hm ....

Have a great day!

Silvy

Dear Sara,

Thanks for the participation. I will post here main reason why I started this discussion :

The War of the Brains

The two brains not only see the world in vastly different ways but, in our current society, the left side just "doesn't get" what the right side is all about. It tends to dismiss anything significant coming into consciousness from its "flaky" cranial twin. Sometimes two sides can actually disagree, resulting in our perception of emotional turmoil from the expressive protests of right brain.

Our conscious mind can only focus on data from one brain at a time. We can switch from one side to the other very quickly (with our corpus collosum intact) but that's not always the most efficient way to act and eventually ultimate authority to enter consciousness is delegated to one brain or the other. In our modern world, this battle is almost always won by the left brain.

It appears that most people will never reach their maximum potential because of compromises that have been made between these two governing bodies. Sometimes skills which the right brain can perform better are routinely handled, with less skill, by the left brain. Ideally, both brains work together in people with optimum mental ability. This coordinating ability may be the key to superior intellectual abilities. In most people, however, the left brain takes control, choosing logic, reasoning and details over imagination, holistic thinking and artistic talent.

Methods have been devised to "shut off" the left brain, allowing the right side to have its say. Creative writing courses often use this method to combat "writer's block." The logical left side is easily bored by lack of input and tends to "doze off" during such activities as meditation (repeating a mantra or word over and over) or in sensory deprivation environments. The right brain is then able to "sneak" into our consciousness, filling our minds with emotional and visual vignettes and freely associated images. All too quickly, though, the left brain will assert itself and dispense with these irrational images, asserting its Spock-like logical dominance and the right brain will have to be content to find expression in dreams.
