I certainly don't know about everyone, but every test I've ever taken that supposedly measures such a division shows my two halves are very close to equal, with one or the other a few points ahead depending on the test, with no one side always dominant!. But I do enjoy life and am doing reasonable well!. So based on this very limited experience, I would say that having the two in equal proportions works quite well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think either is better as it goes with whatever each person is better at!. I happen to be ambidextrous (I can do things with both sides of my brain equally) and I am glad that I am as neither dominates meWww@QuestionHome@Com

You need both, one side for practical surviving on a routine basis and the other for creative problem solving to survive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
