Can you elaborate on the subject and explain the differences?

Homer:"No! Faith is what you have in things that don't exist. Your awesomeness is real."

Sure!!! I'm merely being silly and playful and want to know if you consider yourself more "Left" brained(logical/rational) or "Right" brained( creative/abstract). It's a fun question, a way to get to know people a little better :)

Is there scientific evidence for this? o_o

Ooooohhh, a strong left brain you have, yes!

I'm left brain oriented, but that has never stopped me from trying and failing at right brain activities.

Since I'm right-handed, I assume I'm more rather than less left-brained.

I'd be only too happy if any part of my brain were still functioning.  :'(

I'm right handed, but I fancy myself more right brained.  I'm so creative, everyone look at me, being creative.  That sort of thing.

I'm right handed too. I sort of "switch" modes and move between creative and logical, if that makes any sense.  :P

LOL!  :D

Eh, I used to be a lot more right brained, I'd write, paint, build stuff, do crafts etc for hours. I was also a lot more into faith/spirituality/the 'big' philosophical questions etc, always thinking of random abstract kinds of topics. I think I've somehow changed over the years. I'm still maybe creative in some ways, and I still like to think about abstract stuff, but more and more logic/rational types of thinking and interests have crept in over the years. Maybe I'm a mix of both. I dunno. I was ambidextrous as a little kid but I'd become a lefty by the time I was in 4th or 5th grade.

Then again my family's always telling me I drive them nuts with the crazy philosophy ideas I yammer about, LOL, so I guess I still have some right-brainedness in me. You know what they say. "Left handed people are in their right minds." In my case though, that has ZILCH to do with sanity. ;)
