📖 Passage One: The Myth of Left-Brain vs. Right-Brain

Personality quizzes online claim to ascertain if your right or left brain is dominant. Left-brained people are supposedly logical, while right-brained are imaginative. One problem: That’s not how brains work. Science enthusiast took this idea and it's woven in popular culture.

There’s no such thing as being 'right-brained'. The science of how the two halves work together is stranger than fiction. The human brain is divided into two hemispheres. Neuroscientists revealed the importance of different hemispheres for different activities, but personality is unrelated to them. The idea of personality being tied to hemispheres is categorically false.

Differences exist between the left and right hemisphere, but they have nothing to do with personality or cognitive strategies. Take online quizzes with an enormous grain of salt.
