Many studies have shown that the creative person is more intelligent and scores higher in tests than do lawyers and doctors. While nobody uses only their right brain or left brain, most creatives tend to rely heavily on their right brains – the source of their creativity. Because of that, many of the following statements will apply to you. Even whole-brainers will see some of themselves here, often tempered by the logical, stabilizing influence of the left brain.

The right-brainer is able to compare and combine two things that are not usually related. The creative mind is not limited by normal boundaries, and so can see relaionships that aren’t obvious to others.

The right-brainer sees abstract concepts and then is able to express them in concrete terms.

The right-brainer has a strong appreciation of art. The assumption is that creative people always create art. That is not the case. There are careers for people who appreciate the arts.

Right-brainers tend to have rich and vivid memories. Right-brainers are able to remember faces and places, but aren’t so hot at names and titles. They retain images better than words. They remember themes and scenes from movies, but not the names of the actors or the director.
