Study Notes

Intelligence and Brain Dominance

  • Intelligence distinguishes individuals from others.
  • Ned Herrmann's Brain Dominance Theory categorizes individuals based on dominant brain modes.

Upper Left (Quadrant A) - Analytical

  • Strong logical thinkers, focusing on facts and data.
  • Value numerical data, precise explanations, and explicit results.
  • Prefer straightforward information and well-defined concepts.
  • Might struggle with expressing emotions or personal thoughts.

Lower Left (Quadrant B) - Practical

  • Organize ideas logically and apply what they learn in practice.
  • Require clear instructions and practical examples to understand complex concepts.
  • Prefer structured approaches with clear steps and results.
  • Value practical application and often require examples.

Lower Right (Quadrant C) - Relational

  • Sociable learners who prefer group settings and sharing ideas.
  • Value feedback, personal connections and discussions with others.
  • Enjoy learning through interaction and engaging with their environment and peers.

Upper Right (Quadrant D) - Experimental

  • Curious explorers who enjoy experimentation and discovery.
  • Value visual learning and conceptual thinking and exploring and synthesizing ideas.
  • Prefer creative problem-solving and open-ended approaches.

Brain Dominance Theory: Practical Applications

  • Individuals typically exhibit traits from multiple quadrants, not just one.
  • Understanding the dominant quadrant of individuals aids in constructive communication and collaborative efforts.

Left-Brained vs Right-Brained (Legacy Theory)

  • Left-brained individuals are often seen as logical, organized, and detail-oriented.
  • Right-brained individuals are frequently described as creative, imaginative, and emotionally responsive.
  • There is significant overlap in cognitive functions and these are not mutually exclusive.

Mind Mapping

  • Mind mapping is a technique for visual organizational of information through diagram, colors, symbols etc.
  • Mind maps are most effective during brainstorming activities.

Stress and its Types

  • Acute Stress is short-term stress triggered by daily challenges.
  • Chronic Stress is long-term and potentially damaging stress.
  • Eustress is good stress that motivates individuals.
  • Distress is negative stress causing exhaustion and helplessness.

Four Main Thinking Styles

  • Analytical Thinking Style: Used for problem-solving, especially using data, procedures, and facts.
  • Practical Thinking Style: Useful in projects with deadlines and strict schedules.
  • Relational Thinking Style: Best suited for assessing policy impact on interpersonal communication.
  • Experimental Thinking Style: Beneficial while brainstorming new approaches, and generating new ideas or concepts.
