My Future
Alyssa Cordell
LEFT BRAIN THINKER
Although I am capable of using both the right and left side of my brain depending on the situation, I am most comfortable while using the left side of my brain. That means that I am responsible, structured, and organized. Because I am a left brain thinker, I could be more creative, artistic, and adventurous.
MY PERSONALITY TYPE
#1 Gold
I have a gold personality type. That means that I am traditional, organized, and responsible. I love to be in charge and I like to have a plan for everything I do. In a business, if you had a lot of gold people working for you, everything would go wrong because everyone would want to be in charge. So instead of everyone working together, they would all be fighting over who would be the leader.
