You Are Not 'Left-Brained' Or 'Right-Brained'

From self-help and business success books to job applications and smartphone apps, the theory that the different halves of the human brain govern different skills and personality traits is a popular one.

No doubt at some point in your life you've been schooled on 'left-brained' and 'right-brained' thinking - that people who use the right side of their brains most are more creative, spontaneous and subjective, while those who tap the left side more are more logical, detail-oriented and analytical. Too bad it's not true.
