Spoiler: Your Brain Has A Favorite Side And We’re Just Here To Prove It

Your brain is a pretty big deal—it’s basically running the show 24/7, acting as the command center for your thoughts, feelings, and actions. It’s not just powerful—it’s unique, with each half playing a different role in how you think and feel. There’s a popular theory from the 1960s by Nobel Prize winner Roger W. Sperry that says people have a dominant left or right brain side, which can influence their personality and the way they approach life.

Curious to know which side is in charge up there? Let’s find out! 🧠

    I couldn't get beyond the first question! I have never prepared for a presentation in my life and I don't intend to start now!

    Silly questions, I didn't even make it through all of them. Some examples: The LEGO question. If someone gives me a LEGO Star Wars Death Star kit, I'm going to make the Death Star! If they give me a 500 piece set, I'm going to make what I want! The movies question. Normal people don't put that much thought into seeing a movie. Oooh! New Captain America! Must see! Most movie studios don't put that much thought into making a movie!
