Left-handed, right-brained, atheist, what does this say about my personality and how I learn?

Question

Is this typical/normal? I'm 16. i dont remember if left-handedness and being right-brained are normal, but do these characteristics somehow relate to my religion? i grew up in a Christian household with my Korean family but when i was around 12-13 i started questioning religion and about a year ago i became atheist.

do these characteristics go with each other? what do they say about my personality? what about the way i think? if it helps im also really into art, music, and poetry, and my best/favorite subjects in school are english and literature, social psychology, and drawing. and the ones i struggle with are science and recently math and history. my classes are all ap except electives.

so for those of you who are knowledgeable in this are, could you tell me what this means about me? i want to do better in school and i think an overview of how i learn will help me better accomplish this.

thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

try not to over think things so much.

Answer 2

Right-brained certainly goes with what you are good at and bad at in school, but I think you'll find most atheists are left-brained folks who value logic and facts over faith and feelings.

Left-handed doesn't relate to atheism or left/right brained orientation, as far as I know.

You didn't give us your gender, but that comes into play also.

Answer 3

The right/left brained thing (in terms of logical/creative) is a myth techincally. The hemispheres are only devided between holistic and reductionist processing. So you can be left-handed and creative, logical, philosophical or a collection of china teddy bears, it doesn't really matter.

Atheism/religion are also not significantly influenced by these factors, as far as I know. (There may be linked between logic/empiricism and atheism, as many religions are dogmatic and require faith, and their texts have logical flaws that they get mad when you point out... this does tend to cultivate atheism in some but not all of the logical. Creativity doesn't really affect it either way).

How you learn; you know this best. It's can't be decided for you. trail and error may help.

Answer 4

I'm left handed and right brain dominant,but I'm a christian.

Answer 5

There's no research saying that left handed and right brained people tend to be atheist. I'm not a left handed and have a great interest in more than 20 subjects , including linguistics, math, psychology .social sciences, mechanics etc except drawing and bodily works. I questioning religion since I'm 10.  But there's a fact from my surveys, that people with wider range of interest tend to be an atheist ! as he or she have wide range of interest, the way he or she views the religion in multi-aspects bring to a deduction prove that the truth given by bible (for christian) is not suit the science he or she knows. that's usually the reason people become atheist.
