Such a silly argument; there are people who are neither intelligent or creative in the slightest! :P

More like people who come up with an inane two-word response describing somebody that they've never known or met and will continue to know nothing about. That was a cute try, though.

Both the right and left sides of the brain are 'smart' in their own way. I'm certainly more right-brained. I can't relate to hyper logical, graphical, yes/no black/white ways of thinking. All people are intelligent, one way or another.

I think "All people are intelligent" is stretching it.

Maybe the right thing to say is, everyone has their thing. Some people are hard workers, some people are great at art, some people love history, and so on. But, even this can vary.

If OP's grammar is any indication, they have probably been told they are not so smart, but it's ok because they're creative.

It's not "smart vs. creative" it's math oriented vs art oriented. Organized vs. Creative. No one says the right side of the brain is "stupid"

Obviously someone can be both analytical and creative. But most people just aren't. No one attempts to say the left and right hemispheres cannot coexist, we rightly say that in most brains one part is slightly more active than the other.

In every single test I took to know what side of my brain is dominant, the result was both. Apparently it's called the "Golden Brain".

I've had that too. I'm always leaning right, but I'm basically in the middle. I can be analytical and excel in math/science, but I prefer art

We had to take a quizin school for that. I ended up with "Both, leaning towards the left" or something since the left was slightly more dominant but they were pretty even.

I've actually heard that it's a myth that there is any huge difference between the left and right side of the brain at all.

Thank you! For my English class, we had to read A Whole New Mind, and we kept having to take all of these things to see what brain we are and I hated it.

Didn't this whole "left brain right brain" thing get proven to be pretty much BS when studies on people with only one hemisphere concluded that, no, lacking an entire half of your brain does not cause you to be totally incapable of any emotion/creativity, or logical reasoning? http://www.nobelprize.org/educa...ackground.html here's the study I was thinking of! You can kind of see how "emotional side" and "logical side" are extremities. It's basically more of "the right brain is better at analysing sensory input" and "the left brain is better at taking in and processing sensory input", but neither is totally incapable of either task. Bear in mind that Sperry was the guy who PROMPTED the "left brain right brain" fad; people basically took the "one part of your brain is slightly better at X than Y and people with split brain hemispheres may have trouble transitioning from one function to another" and ramped it Up To Eleven.
