Brain Functions Left Brain Vs. Right Brain
People who rely more heavily on the right half of their brain tend to be more imaginative and intuitive. They see things as a whole and are interested in patterns, shapes and sizes. The right brain is associated with artistic ability like singing, painting, writing poetry, etc.
Left brain dominated people may find their thought processes vague and difficult to follow, for they are quite opposite in the way they think. Left brain dominated people tend to be more logical and analytical in their thinking and usually excel at mathematics and word skills.
The right brain absorbs, new information in chunks, bit it is the job of the left brain to sift and sort it in an organized fashion. However, there is no clear-cut definition of the functions of the two parts of the brain. Each can do the other’s work, just not as efficiently though.
Right brain and left brain dominated people can also be categorized as divergent and convergent thinkers respectively. A convergent thinker has a systematic approach and plays by the rules. He analyzes everything and reaches a logical conclusion. Thus, scientific and mathematical activities are more up his street. Such people do very well on straight forward question and answer type tests. Divergent thinkers, on the other hand, are creative and tend to throw the rules out of the window. They are artistic and always look for ways to express themselves. They do much better in exams that require descriptive answers.
Left / Right Brain Functions
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking:

Right Brain Functions |
In today’s society, knowing about the functions of the brain is good, but knowing something definite about your own brain is better. During our stages of learning, growth, and personal development, the world can and will present different types of challenges that will place complex demands on the brain. We should know our individual brain preference and our problem-solving style and use both sides of our brain to set and accomplish goals.
