I found this article to be very interesting. But i have one question why is it that in schools now days they are (well it seems from reading this article)trying to deter children from being "right brained"???

interesting. I'm very. logical and analytical, but I find math boring. I love philosophy, history, music and art and poetry. It explains alot but i'm not sure how scientifically valid it is. I believe the left brain is verbal, based on the logos, and the right brain is non-verbal and responds to non-verbal activities like art and music and intuitivee emotion.

Ever since i was very small i have been a very artistic person (drawing, writing stories, play guitar etc) but i have also always been in top set maths, science and so on at school. You could say that's a balanced brain, but i doubt thats the case. Sure there might be a corrolation between sides of the brain and subjects but the brain isnt a 2 piece puzzle. I dont think you can sum up how we problem solve and think up ideas based on an entire side of something so complicated.

I'm an exceller in writing, spelling, and art. Even if this theory was debunked in the past, it still has some merit today in that it speaks to so many from so far and near. I lean towards "right brain" according to your test of 20 questions and was not surprised at all with the results.

Alot of tests are for people to determine what side is their more dominant side.I believe that some of these tests are severely inconclusive becuase there are people out there who are analytical and will process things with a logical approach, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t use their right side of the brain.the general genetic make-up of alot of people is that they are more inclined to use theirleft side due to activities that are conducted which need people to use their logical thinking.at the same time, peoples interests sway them to conduct activites which will use their right side of the brain. everyone who takes the tests should not view themselves differently, they should just accept the facts they may be more inclined to use their left side, but also still lock into their right side when needed, meaning that their personality should be what they want it to be.

All due respect, the "left brain, right brain" theory has been debunked for several years now. True, some people are still more analytic and others more divergent and creative, but recent research shows that most people, be they analytic or creative, are WHOLE brained. Though the evidence for the hemispheres of the mind still exists and holds true, the differences in our PROCESS OF THOUGHT are NOT, as popularly conceived, based on the dominance of one or the other hemisphere.

I'm agree on some information above. I'm left-handed, who have been suffering the studying in master in mathematics. I wonder the right-handed students manage to understand quickly than me in the class room, whilst I'm not able to do it! I have to transform it to the pictorial form but it cannot be done in many of areas in maths!

I take offense to the Math comments on all these right and left brained sights. It really depends on what you mean. Math use to be rote memorization. Now it is graphical. At any rate Math is all about patterns, which is what right brained people are good at. Every stockbroker and financial guru I have ever met is left handed, not right handed. Right handers are good at quick calculation... they make good bookkeepers but could never do well in the graphical world of finance.

Quote: If the left thumbis over the right, you have right brained tendancies, and if the right thumb is over the left, you have left brained tendencies. :-) ? Where'd you get that? I always thought that it mattered about drawing circles: Anticlockwise meant left-brain, and clockwise meant right-brain.

I was reading an article earlier about this topic and it said that it is imposible for a brain to be exacally 50/50 one side is always at least 1% dominate. I'm assuming that these tests arn't exactly on target. I mean 20 questions arn't going to identify you're dominate side-pinpoint.

What about people who use both sides??? Do they not have a personality?

Thanks Lori! I also think that these parents who want to train their children to use their right and left brain evenly are attempting to change their children's personalities. You can't try to turn your child into a new person...your personality depends on the part of the brain that you use the most!

"Don't give children an excuse that because they are right-brain dominant that they don't have to be good in Math. I am a right-brained person and I excelled in math by studying hard and determined to be a science major in high school. I am a PhD now and teach statistics." I for one totally agree with this statement I'm 72% right-brained and I'm a strait A math student. Parents are making excuses for why their children arn't doing well in school!

New, to this topic. My daughter is in kindergarten and is having trouble with her analytical skills...alphabet, etc.., however, is highly creative when it comes to expressing her thoughts and drawings. Now the teachers are trying to tell us that she will fail at grade one if she continues not to grasp these concepts..any thoughts?

As a teacher I am very sensitive to the modalities of my children. If a right brained dominant child is having trouble understanding a math concept, I encourage them to create art work or a story or manipulate materials to help them understand. It is very easy to help any child use his/her strenghts to gain new insights. Good teachers know this and encourage their students to engage in learning that is meaningful and fun for them. Indeed one size does not fit all.

I think left handed children or right sided brain thinkers as they are called need to be taught a different way when it comes to Math. I was am a right sided brain thinker and I found learning Math very difficult. iF IT CAN BE ADDRESSED AND TAUGHT CORRECTLY THESE CHILDREN CAN SHOW THEIR TRUE MATH TALENTS AND SCORE BETTER ON STANDARDIZED TESTS AND SATS.

I am not from germany. I think that public schools need to honor creative thought also. If not, honor your kid's creativity and give them crayons! Whatever they do with those crayons, praise them. This is the only way to prevent ADD and such.

As a left-brained person, I found the article informative, yet annyoying. Where is the left-brain? Conventionally, the "left" is determined from the prospective of the observer, which results in "left" situated on the hemisphere located over the region commenly known as the right eye. In other words, the left-right axis is determined by the observer, standing in front of the subject or patient. I believe this is this what is taught in medical school. Yet in common parance, "left" hemisphere suggests the area directly above the left eye. It would be helpful, at least to me, if the author would indicate what she means by the "left" hemisphere. Perhaps if I were "right-brained" (hence intuitive) I wouldn't need to ask. Unfortunately, I'm not; hence this question.

I find the whole right/left brain concept just fascinating. I have taken several R/L brain quiz's, and confirm time and time again, I am a definate Right brain thinker. It is interesting to me how much influence it has over our thought patterns, and actions, and how we relate to other people.

Your passage was a real eye opener. It describes my teen son and me--rigt brain thinkers. The school system needs to stop conforming and bring both brain thinkers together in teaching. It's scary to know that your child might be set up for failure if they are not exercising both. It reminds me of catholic school when they were trying to make me right-handed instead of left. To the PhD comment, this is not an excuse for the children but a door opener that can change the way we all think...

I think that it is important to develop practical means to train both of the hemispheres sufficiently so that the average intelligence and creativity of mankind can be raised to a higher level, as such there will be more outstanding scientists,politicians,musicians etc. After all, the modern civilization is intimately related to creative and rational thinking, as well as the courage to experiment!

for more info read Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." Also try clasping your hands together, folding over the fingers (as if in prayer.) If the left thumbis over the right, you have right brained tendancies, and if the right thumb is over the left, you have left brained tendencies. :-)
