This is a question I have always been asking myself. Am I left-brained or right-brained? We are not talking about the dominant hemisphere of our brain here, though, the one that determines whether we are more comfortable with working with our right hand or left hand. That being said, what we are talking about is actually an abstract concept with no scientific basis. According to this concept, left-brained people are driven by logic and analytical skills, and have very good capacity in rational discussion and solving complex logical problems, and are good as mathematicians and scientists. As per the same concept, right-brained people are driven by intuition, creativity, and imagination. They are good at imagining and creating beautiful things, and have good artistic abilities. They are usually better as painters, musicians, writers etc. As a few examples, if a person draws a perfect line that is totally straight, through infinite patience, but is not very good with numbers or logical estimates, or performs a surgery with zero clumsiness, he/she is more likely to be called right-brained, whereas if a person provides a quick accurate estimate of the length of the line without measuring it, or is a very good diagnostician at diagnosing complex diseases but a very clumsy surgeon who is all over the place, he/she is more likely to be called left-brained.
From experience, I would call myself left-brained. However, tests and quizzes on this have led me to the conclusion that I may actually be right-brained.
What about you? I would love to hear whether you are left or right-brained? I would also love to hear whether or not you believe in this concept.

I think most people do indeed have a strong suit, be it algorithmic tasks for which the left brain is primarily used, or creative tasks for which the right brain is used. But in my case that is a mixture of the two. Because I have been told that my creative outputs are quite nice, but I am also pretty good at algorithmic tasks, given that is what I do for a living. So yes, I am surely good at both, but if I really had to choose one, I would choose right-brained because I find myself enjoying my creative tasks more than my algorithmic tasks. But anyone who is a Software Engineer will know how frustrating it can be to code when a bug has no visible cause haha.

Ohh, I totally understand that, haha. I am from the Science background, with artistic pursuits like creative writing as my hobby. : ) I get what you say, just like you, I enjoy my artistic side and exploring my creativity more. : ) ❤❤
