What's the difference between a left/right brained person?

Question

Okay, I've been seing a lot of left/right brain tests on the internet, and I took three. All three of them said I used my left brain hemisphere more. What does that mean? What is the difference between someone who uses their left or right brain more? And I've also heard which one you use more affects what your dominant hand is. Is this true

Answer 1

The theory goes like this:

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

uses logic

detail oriented

facts rule

words and language

present and past

math and science

can comprehend

knowing

acknowledges

order/pattern perception

knows object name

reality based

forms strategies

practical

safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

uses feeling

"big picture" oriented

imagination rules

symbols and images

present and future

philosophy & religion

can "get it" (i.e. meaning)

believes

appreciates

spatial perception

knows object function

fantasy based

presents possibilities

impetuous

risk taking



But there really isn't any hard evidence to support this theory. The best evidence is that different areas of the brain support each other. For some actual science about brain function, see this article:

Answer 2

nothing really except the hand you use like the right or left one depicts what side of  the brain you use

Answer 3

The difference is, which approach in life you are in the HABIT of taking...

The 'hand theory' is more vague, because some cultures forbid the use of left-hand dominance, so it doesn't always apply!
