There are different versions - several have been shared hundreds of
thousands of times on Facebook - but most of them take the form of a
quiz which purports to show how "left-brained" or "right-brained" you
are. The idea is that the left side of the brain is associated more with
logic and rationality and the right side controls creativity and
emotion.
So is there any evidence that the two sides of the brain correspond to those particular characteristics?
"It is certainly the case that some people have more methodical, logical cognitive styles, and others more uninhibited, spontaneous styles," says Jeffrey Anderson, a brain researcher at the University of Utah. "This has nothing to do on any level with the different functions of the [brain's] left and right hemisphere."
Anderson led a team that looked at the brains of more than a thousand people and measured strong connections on both sides of the brain. They found that these connections were distributed fairly evenly - in other words, it wasn't the case that some people had stronger connections on one side of the brain or the other.
