Are you a left-brained or right-brained person? (Test included)

【51CTO.com Quick Translation】 The success of a company is largely based on the success of its employees. Many companies hope to cultivate their employees and achieve better work results by providing a suitable working environment. For example, Google has a unique way to make employees happy and productive. But this support comes in different forms. Everyone is different, and every employee is even more so. So, how can you make sure you give your employees the best support? How can you ensure that your employees can perform at their best level?

As the title says, the way employees think will determine their work performance and the way they solve problems. We know that the brain is divided into the left and right hemispheres, and the left and right hemispheres are responsible for different tasks. When people think, they don't just rely on the left or right brain alone. The left and right hemispheres are equally active, but when making decisions, one side of the brain usually dominates. Let's look at the difference between left and right brain dominance from the perspective of daily behavior.

The left brain is associated with linear logical thinking. People with more active left brains are usually suitable for independent work. They like to think, work, and research in a quiet environment, and incorporate the results into the next work. On the other hand, people with more dominant right brains prefer hands-on operations, group work can stimulate their creativity, and they prefer to rely on instinct or "intuition". At this time, the right brain is responsible for their self-creativity, artistry, intuition and emotion.

Once you know which hemisphere of your brain is more active, you can create a better working environment for yourself and achieve success more easily. Isn't it very interesting? We have prepared a small test for the activity of the left and right brains. Before taking the test, here is a little tip for you: left-brain thinkers prefer to work independently, while creative right-brain thinkers prefer a lazy and casual working environment.

Can't wait to see the test results?

If you choose A more

Your right brain is more active. You often daydream and are easily distracted at times. Your room is a little messy, but you swear you know where everything is! Music helps you focus, and discussions with coworkers spark your creativity. You love going to the office, working with like-minded people, and doing great things to change the world!

If you choose B more

You are a left-brain thinker. Your desk is neat and organized, and almost everything is categorized, which obviously helps your thinking. You spend a lot of time researching before making a decision, and you believe that a good decision must be a wise decision! You like to work from home, where you can focus on the task at hand in your little world.

If you choose A and B as much

Congratulations! You are a versatile person. You can be both methodical and creative. It all depends on the task you face. You can easily work with others, but if you have to complete a project independently, that is not a problem for you. You may be irritated by team members' tardiness, but you should not always insist on your own ideas. In short, versatility is your greatest asset.
