Imagine your brain is like a team of two best friends, working together. One friend is good at math and logic, they live on the left side. The other loves art and music, they're on the right. Some people are more like one friend than the other, which makes them seem more ‘left-brained’ or ‘right-brained.’
What does it mean to be left-brained or right-brained?
If you’re a ‘left-brained’ person, you might find math easier and prefer working with words. If you’re a ‘right-brained’ person, you might like drawing, music, and thinking about things in a more creative way.
Why does it happen?
Everyone has both sides of the brain working all the time. But some people use one side more than the other, especially when they grow up or start learning new skills.
Examples
- A child who loves drawing and telling stories is likely more right-brained.
- An adult who enjoys solving math problems at work is probably left-brained.
- When a student has trouble learning new words, they might be using their left brain, but they could also need more help from the right.
