      Id say its more of a "creative" way as its coming from a myth but i get your point, as its a test that will give you a binary answer. (Though both of those criterias to determine if something is creative or analytical are misconceptions imo, and the test just bullshit)

      You can be analytical and be an artist. Likewise, you can like science and be creative. Creative doesn't strictly mean art, it's just a means of thinking. A lot of scientific discoveries were made by creative people. A lot of beautiful sculptures and art were made by analytical people. An example of a left-brainer making art would be architects and people who make art with geometric objects.

      Interesting. I'm not a very creative person at all. Never have been but I'm planning to pursue a career in electrical engineering and I've been questioning whether I might be heading down the wrong path. I have a hands on type of background due to a tendency to take things apart to figure out how they work with a strong curiosity for it but electrical engineering is a more creative oriented field but I like having instructions and very clear guidelines on things. I'm also an introvert which further complicates things. 🤔

    You can for sure be creative by being analytical.

    The same can be said for being analytical by being creative.

      @@trueblade3636 also incorrect. Different structures of the brain show specialised functions sure, but no part of the brain is 100% for one thing exclusively. It often involves a multi elemental pathway, such as how language does. Regarding the “right being mostly analytical”, that’s also false. If anything, you’d have to be “front-brained” as the frontal lobes are implicated in executive functioning, I.e. higher order thinking that allows you to be analytical, plan, set goals, etc.
      This is the problem with pop psychology seen in the media, it blatantly distorts and over-interprets the research. Be cautious about these sources. A beginner course could debunk half of the bs it comes out with.

      @@trueblade3636 somewhat but ultimately no, it’s about the bigger picture you see. What you may be referring to is Broca’s aphasia, which results from a lesion to the left side of the brain at a specific location. This causes difficulty in language production, but it’s not impossible, and their comprehension remains intact. Conversely, due to damage at a slightly different location, Wernicke’s aphasia causes difficulty in understanding speech, but production is fine (despite often making little sense). Therefore, this shows the multi elemental pathway.
      But again, there is growing research suggesting it is not just localised to these areas.

    False: there's no such thing as being "right or left brained"

      It's actually true , there r brains and it's scientifically proven. Don't knw if this video is true tbh , I logical stuff so my right thumb was over my right but still I don't believe it coz my friend's logically shit n his thumb placement is same as me .

      It works like that, but there’s not a proper explanation in the video to say what it has to be the fingers with the brain, and some test that say it’s totally scientifical and not only because it sounded logical or good.

    When you said to clasp your hands together I thought that was the test so I put my left thumb over my right even though it’s physical unintuitive to me. So I’m analytic pretending to be creative. 😂

    Yes, and I'm also left-eyed despite writing with right hand (was teached to do that in childhood). But, I'm using mouse and vegetable peeler with my left hand, because I learned to use them later in life.
