Human Traits Resulting from Left-brain/Right-brain Differences

Before I start, I hear some people can't make comments to my blog site. 
If you want, you can e-mail your comments to me at my Blogger address (the.explicitblogger@gmail.com).

In my last post I talked about Left-brain Vs. Right-brain attributes. There I listed
the corresponding differences of the two sides. Now I will cover the traits exhibited by people depending on which side of the brain is in use at the time. Actually they are numerous, but I'll cover some of the more significant ones here. Again, I will show the opposites in two columns.

                        Left-brain                               Right-brain
                  (The door to reality)       (The window on imagination)          

                       Calculates                               Estimates
                       Measures                                Guesses
                       Is explicit                                 Is implicit
                       Keeps track of time                Pays little attention to time
                       Deals in details                       Deals in generalities 
                       How well does it work?          How well does it look?
                      Good at solving math              Good at painting pictures
                      Looks at the different parts    Looks at the whole scene 
                      Conservative                            Liberal  
                      Plays it safe                              Takes chances
                      Processes in sequence          Processes randomly 
                      Is logical                                     Is intuitive
                      Deals in reality                          Deals in fantasies 
                      Processes ideas linearly         Processes ideas holistically
                      Decisive                                     Indecisive 
                      Makes decisions                        Procrastinates    

You're thinking "This looks a lot like the columns in the last blog" and you're right.
The difference is the earlier lists had to do with the brain. The above lists are about how people tend to act depending on which half of the brain they're using.

My next blog posting will deal with Left-brain/Right-brain Dominance. Most people tend to use one half of their brain more than the other. I'll site some real life
occurrences as examples. 

Best regards to all, Dick
