Left Brain vs Right Brain Test

How do I know if I’m left or right-brained? take the test.

The left-brain vs. right-brain theory posits that the two hemispheres of the brain exhibit different strengths and tendencies.

It claims that the left hemisphere excels in logical, analytical, and methodical thinking, while the right hemisphere excels in creative, intuitive, and imaginative thinking. But, this theory lacks scientific support and neuroscientists have discredited it.

Left Brain vs Right Brain FAQs

The brain works together, utilizing skills from both hemispheres to perform tasks and functions.

What science says about it?

Science discredits the left-brain vs. right-brain dominance theory. It’s outdated and lacks evidence.

Both hemispheres of the brain work together, interconnected, to perform tasks and functions. Specialization of functions doesn’t mean one hemisphere dominates.
