Your logical and creative preferences

Your logical and creative preferences

This model is based on the idea that our left and right brain hemispheres influence thinking styles (Springer & Deutsch 1998).

The idea is that left brain thinking is:

  • logical
  • rational
  • sequential
  • analytical

And right brain thinking is:

  • intuitive
  • holistic
  • random
  • subjective

We may have a leaning towards either hemisphere or use both styles of thinking. Certain subjects and disciplines lend themselves to right or left brain types.
