Left/Right Brain Test

Are You Left-brained or Right-brained?

This test is based on the left brain/right brain dominance theory. According to this theory “left-brained” and “right-brained” individuals have a huge difference in behavior, personality traits and cognitive strategies.

Human brain is really divided into two halves, or hemispheres, each responsible for controlling specific functions.

Right brain vs left brain test

So the left brain is associated with:

  • Language learning abilities
  • Logical reasoning
  • Speech and writing skills
  • Information storage and analysiss
  • Mathematical skills

Functions of the right brain include:

  • Musical and rhythmic sense
  • Imagination and emotions
  • Artistic and creative abilities
  • Sexual preferences
  • Facial recognition

The concept of tailoring educational approaches to individuals with dominant brain hemispheres gained popularity in the 1970s. Thus, for people with a dominant left hemisphere, appropriate educational programs were developed based on rational and logically substantiated tasks. Conversely, programs for "right-brained" individuals emphasized creativity and emotional engagement in the learning process.

Problems with the theory

To date, the efficacy of separating students based on this theory have not received significant scientific evidence. In addition, a comprehensive study by Jared A. Nielsen showed that human behavior cannot be “left-brained” or “right-brained”. Our brain's functionality is far more complex, and attributes previously ascribed to only one hemisphere should be considered as involving the whole brain.
