Careers
Left brain
Although I use both the left and right sides of my brain depending on the task, I am more comfortable when using my left side. That means that I prefer structure, control, clarity, focus, direction, responsibility, organization, planning, mathematical and analytical skills, listening skills, rational and logical thinking.
Brain
My brain has two sides, the right side and the left side. The right side has nothing left and the left has nothing right.
Decision making
When making decisions I tend to follow the Directive style. People with that decision making style tend to be forceful, motivated, practical, in need of power, and quick with tasks. Others sometimes perceive my decision making as rigid, simplistic, or autocratic. The best organizational fit for my type of decision making is one that allows for structured, goal oriented, such as bureaucracies, or where power and authority are important.
