Did you know that the left half or left brain deals with things that are concrete (real) and rational(able to reason).
Left Brain characteristics are:
- Detailed - able to see fine points
- Sequential - able to see steps involved, task oriented
- Conservative - being careful in anything they do, thinking in the long term effects
- Logical - one things follows another in order
- Mathematical - able to grasp functions such as adding, counting etc..
- Rational - drawing conclusions based on facts and reason
- Analytical- taking things apart to see how it works
- Factual - deals with issue's, not feelings
- Quantitative - likes facts, measurable statistics
- Critical - able to see faults and improvements
- Technical - likes dealing with useful things
- Organized- able to work step by step
The left brain controls handwritting,language,reading,phonics,locating facts,talking,reciting,following directions,listening, and numbers.
The right half or the right brain operates on a more intuitive( direct knowing of something without the use of reasoning) and creative level.
Right Brain Characteristics are :
- Non verbal - more aware of things than language, such as printed, written or recorded

- Symbolic - able to remeber the symbols (stop sign) better than words
- Emotional - often honest about feelings
- Spatial - see things where parts go together ( such as puzzles)
- Simultaneous- able to do two things at once, working on two or more projects
- Holistic - sees it all at once, perceives overall patterns and structures
- Creative - makes new associations with using their imaginations
- Artistic - reproduces images, colours with accuracy
- Synthesized - puts things together to form whole
- Conceptual - able to draw conclusions,patterns,themes
- Random - works well (only) if intrested
