Hemispheric Dominance
Alexis Whellan: Left or Right Brained?
And the Left Hemishpere Wins!!
Some of the strengths of the Left Hemisphere
Verbal Explanations
One characteristic strength of the left hemisphere is its ability to process new information using verbal explanations rather than visual explanations. A speech means more than a colorful poster to a left-brained individual.

Sequential Processing
The left hemisphere prefers to process information in the order that it is given. This can mean anything from reading a magazine in a linear fashion to completing tasks in the order they are assigned.

Concrete Thinking
Facts and concrete details are types of information that are preferred by the left hemisphere. Multiple choice questions on a test are preferred over open ended short answer question.
