Right brained people?

Question

I am a right brained person but most of the jobs i want to do when i grow up are for left brained people. Is it possible for me to do those jobs?

Answer 1

It doesn't matter what "brain" you are you can learn to do what ever job you want to.

Answer 2

Do Tickle test for your determine position.

Answer 3

Absolutely, & given the proper conditions you can excel in them.  Early on I was identified as one of those kids that simply could not do math, but I had an interest in electronics & struggled through the math classes (with the help of tutors & some class mates.)

As time went by I picked up the needed math, though I still struggle from time to time.  Later I made several discoveries & got my name on several patents.  People began to pick me as a member of corporate & academic "think tanks" because I had a "different way" of looking at problems.  You should take advantage of that right brain as it has the potential of elevating you above the ordinary if you apply it.

Answer 4

I'm left brained, and have a right brain profession (fine artist).  I struggle a lot.

Answer 5

lol, the short answer is "yes, it is possible for you to do those jobs"

Answer 6

Yes. But you may have to entertain some discontent at a job if you move against yourself....sort of like a left handed person having to use their right.

I'm an artist-as far as Math is concerned-beyond figuring & measuring for a mat and frame measurements--or glaze calculations--I figure that's what a calculator is for..someone who is not artistic won't understand it..but someone who is

You have to manage math-but an artistic person may be good at engineering or architecture- because they'd be adept at spacial things..

I will be honest--a large part of anything--is wanting it. Wanting something-changes it to being do-able...because when you can take pleasure in your task-that's a large part of the pay..How many people enjoy going to work?

There was a book in the late 1960's that came out--called What Color is your Parachute? I'd see if it's still available..

Further than that-I also teach adult art  classes....beyond maybe 1 or 2 art teachers who have taken my class-no one can measure a simple rectangle--and this includes lawyers, nurses, housewives, ..and I've had 5 different physicians-MD'S! in my class....first-made me feel hot to know I was smarter-and somewhat disconcerting to know they were not...but we all have our area we are good at.

Still..99% of my students can't use a ruler to measure a rectangle-if they are given measurement sizes (8x10, 5x7,11zx14) It's sadly a constant disheartening discovery that people don't know how to measure out that specific rectangle on paper. They always measure it wrong.

Forgot to mention--another book-"Drawing with the Right Side of your Brain" Read it.

Answer 7

Within a few seconds, by using mental concentration, you can switch the use of the hemispheres of your brain. Left & Right, just means which side usually dominates in a person. It's not an irreversible condition.

There's a visual test you can take to prove this, if you go to:

and type in "Left Brain/Right Brain Test".

It's very revealing!

Answer 8

short answer: yes

longer answer: just because you are a right brained person doesn't mean your left brain doesn't exist. You still have a fully functional brain, and all that being right brained may mean is you're more creative. I'm a very creative person, and often it helps me find a logical explination to a problem. I am seriously the most right brained person you'd ever meet, and yet i want to work in psycology, because I'm good at it.

just because you are a right brained person doesnt mean you don't have any left brained skills.
