There are many ways to understand human behaviour. How we view the world, interact with others, make decisions, communicate and learn, depends to a large extent on which quadrants of the brain we prefer to spend most of our thinking time in.
Of course, other factors also come into the equation, such as your values system, personal values, morals, ethics, beliefs and other "filters" that you use to delete, distort and generalize the two million bits of information that you are bombarded with every second.
While we are each very complex and individual beings, and no-one likes to be "put in a box", extensive international research into left brain/right brain science has given us amazing insights into how our thinking preferences for each brain quadrant influence our behaviour in daily life.
The Neethling Brain Instruments™ were developed by the Kobus Neethling Group to assess how we like to think in business, relationships, education and sports. The instruments can help you get clarity on:
your ideal career
your job skills
relationship issues
parenting styles
choosing a study path
why miscommunication occurs
and much more.
For example, if you have left brain dominance you are likely to be more interested in facts, analysis, being organized and preserving traditions and order.
If you have right brain preferences you are more interested in strategies, imagination, empathizing and socializing.
Your thinking preferences can be a combination of both hemispheres and can even be equal in all four quadrants.
Why is this information useful?
Stress in life is created when we are forced to spend much of our time operating from our non-preferred brain quadrant, for example a person who is naturally a creative and visionary thinker (R1) having to deal with the attention to detail and step by step approach that comes naturally to the (L2) thinker.
Dealing with people who have diagonally opposite thinking preferences to us is another potential cause of conflict in the workplace and in relationships. For example, the (R2) empathizer who makes decisions based on emotions and people-centred issues, acts very differently in the world than the (L1) realist who prefers to make decisions based on facts, figures and impersonal analysis.
When it comes to communication, left brain thinkers are interested in What (facts and analysis) and How (following procedures, taking an orderly approach). The right brained thinkers prefer to know about the Why (strategies, imagining what is possible) and the Who (caring, encouraging).
Knowing this information about ourself is not only essential in helping us find fulfilling careers, it also helps us to be more accepting in our relationships at home and at work by knowing that no brain profile is better or worse than any other, it's just a different way of viewing the world.
