THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ...
Do you see the Dancer turning Clockwise or Anti-clockwise?
If it is clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain, if she is spinning anti-clockwise then you use more of the left side of the brain. Interestly, some of you will be able to get her to spin in either direction. This is you switching sides of your brain from left to right and visa versa.
The brain sides have very different functions and the trick is to generate "whole brain thinking" to get the best from your life. Find ways to incorporate both left and right brain into your learning.
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
- logic
- detail oriented
- facts rule
- words and language
- present and past
- math and science
- order/pattern
- perception
- reality based
- forms strategies
- practical
- safe
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
- emotions
- colours
- control of our 5 senses
- big picture oriented
- imagination rules
- symbols & images
- present & future
- philosophy & religion
- spatial perception
- fantasy based
- presents possibilities
- impetuous
- risk taking
Another really important (and often over looked) point is that the right side of the brain looks after your long term memory. So if you want to remember something then I always recommend finding ways to learn that involve the use of colours, our senses and good use of the imagination.
