 Lack of awareness of our actual strengths and weaknesses leads us to spend our lives in mediocrity. This goes on generation by generation. Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test (DMIT) is a tool to identify our potentials. It works as GPS System in our life. It helps us to know our position and map our direction in life. http://www.brains ketch.in/

 i can really relate to what is clearly but briefly described in this article. i recognize it in myself and in my oldest daughter's approach toward many matters in life. both of us tend to obey the impulses of our right brain more than most people are inclined to do.

 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. :-)

 i think that the school system should try to improve their grading system and gear it towards both sides of the brain

Country: USA
 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.

 my daughter is a right-brained thinker... accompanied by a high iq. i liked your article and agree with other comments that both sides of the brain should be exercised to work together as a whole. its about time educational institutions included activities to stimulate both right and left equally
Name: Lisa
Country: USA
 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 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.
Name: Sangi

 it is a good article. but in today's contest one should learn use both the sides of brain .i would like to know how we can practice this right from the begining in the children ?

 i would like to apologise for my friends actions, she isvery immature and i support the whole left-brain stuff, yeah

 i think it's the right brain people who are smarter. right brain people are also left handed. the right brain controls our left side and the left brain controls our right side. some people who have photographic memory are right brain.

 in india education system is now more emphasizing on this.here, even for a subject like maths, in the primary section one has to graphically illustrate the subject

 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.

 thanks for the great article. i'm finally feeling understood as i read more about the right-brain thinker.
Name: maximilian
Country: Germany
 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.
Name: Skokie Joe
Country: USA
 i totally agree. i am a right brain thinker and my school tries to turn everyone into a left brainer, with an exception of a few teachers. this needs to be distributed to schools all over the usa

 linda dreger silverman's book, "upside-down brilliance, the visual spatial learner" is a great book for those interested in those who are right hemispheric dominant thinkers.

 i want to know if i am left brain or right brain
Name: gbigvals@aol.com

 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.
Name: Mary
Country: USA
 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'm a right brain thinker and i've been pushed to reason as a left brain thinker...i failed the science subjects in my finals!!

 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?
Name: Lo
Country: Australia
 a very interesting article. thanks. why in the final two paragraphs are convergent thinkers called "he" but divergent the gender neutral "they"? just wondering?

 the information in the article is really great but where can i see the answers raise by some viewer as i see they're quetions make sense. how do we trained our child to use both brains equally as they can creative and logic?
Name: Lori
Country: turkey
 i strongly agree bob, i've taken 4 quizes that say i'm 65% left-brained and i've been on the a/b honor roll in english for 3 years!

 "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!

 bob...was that you telling me to smell your feet???-i'm so confused

 oh o.k.

 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.
Name: Lori
Country: turkey
 what about people who use both sides??? do they not have a personality?
Name: Bob
Country: india
 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!
Name: Lori
Country: turkey
 wow! that's really neat!
Name: Bob
Country: india
 i find the subject interesting. my big brother is studying for a phd. he's a scientist, majoring in studies of the brain

 anyway...why are you reseaching this subject???

 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.

 can someone tell me where you can take one of the tests to see what i really am? either a right or left brain thinker. thanks
Name: Albert

 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!

 our son has a decrease blood flow to the left side of his brain. no one can tell us how this will affect him intellectually but he has always had a tough time with language and comprehension. this article has given me some needed information. any other resources would be welcomed.

 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.

 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.
