The left and right brain hemispheres, feeling or thinking, analogical or logical etc.

Home - http://www.twothoughts.com

Left and right.

I don´t think I thought too much about the name of the domain, Two Thoughts, when I once picked it.
But it sounded good.

Lately, I began to think about how people work in regards to personality etc.
Women are more stabile in that they, generally, have a closer "co-operation" between the left and right hemisphere of the brain. The left brain is the more analytical and detailed one and the right is more visual and looking at the whole part of things as in intuition, if I choose as few words as possible. Contrary to women, men have a slightly more left-righ specialization. This is probably, and at least to a part a reason why men generally are regarded as being more potential to being violent.

Men are more dependant than woman. As many of you know, it seemes often to in that way, when a couple breaks up, the men can feel more lonely since they don´t have the same close network as women may have. Men have networks though not as close.

That goes into relations which I write about in a following page.

In a way, we can look at the different traits for left and right as two personalities who either support eachother or complement eachother.
And again, the little difference between women and men is about this too.
Women kind of co-operate a little closer with themselves more than men which is vice versa.

Me might look at it this way:

Woman.
Pros - If stable then always stable.
- Mental focus can be put more directly since it is already in co-operation.
Cons - If not stable then more prone to stay unstable, since none of the hemispheres can support the other very much since they are more equal.

Man
Pros - If both left and right are stable then the sum will make up very good though with more respective dependacy.
- If maybe only one side is less prominent, one side may back up the other one.
- If less stable on any side , the chance is higher that at least one side can become more stable then to support the other one.
Cons - If not stable on one or both sides at all it can be more difficult to regain a focus ability since the co-operative ability has to be performed.

Isn´t it at least somewhat true? I think so.

But not for all. Some women are more "split up" than some men and vice versa.
And people can be either more feeling or thinking, less are both.

How are you? I think I am a bit of both. I am analytical, yet oversensitive sometimes. I do "get" inspiration somrtimes without verbal thinking, it just comes.
So I guess I´m both.
