Left/Right Brain Test

Are You Left-Brained or Right-Brained?

This test is based on the left-brain/right-brain dominance idea. According to this idea, “left-brained” and “right-brained” people differ in their behavior, personality traits, and cognitive strategies.

The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, each associated with different functions.

Right Brain vs. Left Brain Test

So the left brain is associated with:

  • Language learning abilities
  • Logical reasoning
  • Speech and writing skills
  • Information processing and analysis
  • Mathematical skills

Functions of the right brain include:

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

The idea of tailoring teaching methods to a “dominant hemisphere” became popular in the 1970s. Left-brain approaches were framed as logical and analytic, while right-brain approaches emphasized creativity and emotion.

Problems with the theory

To date, there is little scientific evidence supporting the idea of separating students using this theory. In addition, a study by Jared A. Nielsen found that human behavior cannot be “left-brained” or “right-brained.” Brain function is far more complex, and many abilities involve networks across both hemispheres.
