Are You Right or Left Brain Thinker | Flash, Design, Vector, Photoshop, Adobe Tutorials | GraphicMania.net

Do you feel like a developer or a designer?whatever your feelings are,  actually it has a relation with another factor than just feelings, it depends on your brain right and left parts. Lets see how your brain power can affect your desire to be an inspired designer and guru developer.

Sarah is a high school girl who is thinking in building her future and start her own career in the web field and dream to have her own web profile and may be her own business. I can remember those many question ...

she asked me in her email, and how much she was confused and worry about choosing the right pass to take. She named to me number of software tools that gather between both designing and developing tools, therefor I got the idea that Sarah is missing one important question to ask. Should I learn to be web designer, web developer or both?

I replied Lets see, do you want to be a web designer or we developer?, she told me that she does not know and she is still new into this. Actually, this situation has repeated many times that I thought it is a good idea to spill all about it in this article.

One of the important aims I put into my eyes  when trying to advice ambition people like Sarah is to know what he or she does not know about his or herself. So, the question I used to ask which do you like more drawing or math? The aim of this question is to know the real talent behind this person. If you used to love drawing, then you are more like a design targeted and if you like to do math and calculations, then you are more to be developing targeted.

Finding your strength is the most important step to find your career. When you have the initiation to excel in a field can help you moving forward easier and fast than having a career where your skills does not fit well with it.

Right Brain and left Brain

Actually my question to find the real skills in your mind is based on a theory about right and left brain. Roger W Sperry, an American psychobiologist, had a research in 1960 that discovered that the human brain is divided into two main sections in regard to thinking, right brain which is responsible on emotions, Subjective processing to information and have a whole look to information received, and the left brain which is responsible on logic, objective processing to information and look to the receive information step by step till complete a whole look to the situation.

Based on the comparison between right and left brain created by Marion Boddy-Evans on About.com[30]. The right brain thinkers are more talented in skills related to focus to images, feelings, touching and feeling objectsetc. The left brain thinkers are more talented in skills related to logic, planning and observationetc.

As a conclusion of this comparison, people who got skills in looking to images and ability to feel objects are more like to be designers than developers, and vise versa, the people who got logic and objective skills are more like to be developers and their nature can help them excel in their career in developing.

Meanwhile, some people are having equal skills in both fields which can help them in both fields but most of the people are having more powerful part than the other.

Why Should I Care

It is like swimming in same direction of the wave or against it, when you swim in the same waves direction, it would be much faster and less hard to achieve you target point.

You do not have to judge your skills through the theory, but you can judge it based on some hobby you liked to do when you are young or a skill you have to excel in school.

The nature always has its influence on us without we realize this especially when we are young unless we got parents that can explore these skills and develop it.

How Can I Know My Brain

The right brain thinkers and left brain thinkers are having the same brain shape, so the X-ray will not help find out if you are left or right brain thinker, but the good news that you can find out this through digging into your skill while you young as we mentioned or through test like this one[31].

Conclusion

Finally, the idea is to discover your nature and the initiative power you got by nature and start to find your career based on this nature, this will help you develop your skills better and give you a good ability to get excel and compete with others people in the field that do not have your skills or even did not try to search behind their real excel points.
