Intelligence is one element that separates one from all others of same Demographics. Ned Herrmann's "Brain Dominance Theory": Upper Left (Quadrant A) Cerebral Mode - Analytical - very much into logical thinking, understand better when presented with numbers and quantities, good at theorizing or concluding based on facts and information the support their theories, expect exact answer that are straight to the point, and they would also want to be fed with lots of theories, numbers, data, logical explanations, and a result for research studies, they find it difficult to express their inner thoughts and emotions, and may struggle with unclear or undefined concepts or ideas. Lower Left (Quadrant B) Limbic Mode - Practical - enjoy organizing ideas and things, assess situation, and apply what they have learned into practice, always demand for clear instructions or directions, and would rather apply what they have learned in practical situations rather than just theories, need to be able to see, sequence of things, which are consistent and in proper order, find it difficult to understand concepts without examples to show how these are applied. Quadrants A and B are often characterized as practical, reality based, and down-to-earth persons. Lower Right (Quadrant C) Limbic Mode - Relational - very sociable learners who enjoy learning with a group whom they share ideas and projects, very focused and involved when trying to learn something, tend to reflect on what they have understood or acquired in terms of knowledge, and most of the time use their body and movement while learning, get bored with data and intellectual discussions without activities and participation, also emotional and would share their emotions with group, personal feedback is therefore important to them. Upper Right (Quadrant D) Cerebral Mode - Experimental - Curious ones who enjoy discovering, experimenting, and exploring activities. They are strong thinkers when it comes to conceptualizing and putting all the seemingly unrelated partisan connecting these parts together, synthesizing, and creating new ideas and concepts. The D learners enjoy games and surprises, is a visual learner and needs varieties of approaches to learning. Being spontaneous in character, the learners have difficulty in meeting deadlines and rigid environments. C and D learners are often characterized as fun, flexible, and open-minded person. Always remember that they do not necessarily belong to just 1 or two quadrants, but they can find qualities present in all quadrants.

The Left and Right Brain Theory: The Left and Right Brain Theory, humans use both sides, each one has a dominant side which, according to the theory, explains much about his or her behavior, interests, personality, and mode of thinking. 1. Left-brained People. These people are said to be logical, very organized, and detail-oriented. They process ideas in a methodical step-by-step manner and this enables them to commit less mistakes. They favor rigid schedules and deadlines. They are more auditory learners and are better at using words to remember things rather than visual aids. 2. Right-brained People. Individuals with right brain dominance are said to look at visual references as a whole and then go through details. They a believers of imaginations and fantasies, risk-takers, creative, and unpredictable. They tend to be disorganized, unable to make clear of their priorities, and lack time management.
