Personality and Brain

We all have a brain. Personality is also influenced by which side brain we use.
A simple test ... look at this picture below ... what you see? clockwise or counter clockwise?




If you see, clockwise rotating (rotate to left) ... you using your more left brain area.
Otherwise if you see counter clockwise (rotate to right) ... you using more right brain area

LEFT BRAIN
  • uses logic 
  • detail oriented
  • facts rule
  • words and language
  • present and past
  • math and science
  • can comprehend
  • knowing
  • acknowledges
  • order/pattern perception
  • knows object name
  • reality based
  • forms strategies
  • practical
  • safe

RIGHT BRAIN
  • uses feeling
  • "big picture" oriented
  • imagination rules
  • symbols and images
  • philosophy & religion
  • can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
  • believes
  • appreciates
  • spatial perception
  • knows object function
  • fantasy based
  • presents possibilities
  • impetuous
  • risk takin


Right Brain character
Think and learn in visual, kinesthetic and audio images. It`s hard for them memorize something without visualize. They don't memorize well and need to visualize a picture so they can recall the facts. Abstract math is often not brain compatible.
 In face to face conversation, they look at speaker when listening and look away to the left when giving an answer. In that moment, brain shift from right side to left side. This is not a sign of fabrication. They are not creating an answer in an attempt to deceive.
If you give them a word "carrot", they start remembering the rabbit that like carrot a lot, where`s the rabbit now, the fur are soft and they look cute too, the cat that often slept in front of the door is cute too, the door in my house need to repair ... etc.
They always try think "out of the box", so it`s hard for them follow rules that don`t make a sense.

Left Brain character
They seen as "smarter", doing in sequential order, analyze what they do, make trial and error when some problem occur. They are sensitive to flaws of self and others almost to the point of not being able to accept a person because of their flaws. They tend to not see the whole person but the flaw(s).
If you give them a word "plane", plane is plane, and write it down as "p-l-a-n-e".  They don`t have trouble to focus in some thing.
