& Left Brain Thinking
 Right brain or creative thinkers gather information by
feelings and intuition. This information is retained by
using images and patterns and are able to visualize the
whole idea as we gather our research.
 Left Brain or Critical Thinkers collect information using
logic and sense. This information is retained using words,
numbers and symbols. Unlike right brain thinkers who see
the whole concept, left brain thinkers see only parts of the
whole idea that guides them in their logical, step-by-step
gathering of information.
Modern scientists know that your left brain is your verbal and rational brain while
your right brain is you nonverbal and intuitive brain.
