Neural Types, Brain Mappings and Explaining the "Left v Right Brain" Inaccuracies:

The basic understanding for creative types is that they are right-brained, and for analytical types, that they are left-brained. However, this is not completely accurate.

Let's examine this further by looking at Linear and Associative thinkers.

Linear thinkers are rooted neurologically from the Cerebellum and driven primarily by instincts and emotions.

Their secondary functions are either towards the back of the brain in the Occipital lobe, and the Temporal lobe (Creatives/Artists). Or towards the front of the brain in the Temporal and Parietal lobe (Analytical and Logical types). Both work in conjunction with a part of the frontal lobe with cognition and working memory.

So where does the idea of right and left come from? Simply put, only a part of the brain can be viewed in a 2-dimensional diagram; the left of the model is the side for the analytical types and the right is the side for the creatives.

Now, what about the neural types that don't have linear thinking, where their thinking is associative and rooted from the neo-cortex as a primary, rather than being rooted from the Cerebellum as a primary.

Well, we are rooted between both hemispheres in the Parietal, Temporal and Occipital lobes; there is an area that is unmapped that is an intersection point in associative thinking types; Dr Lydia Hall called it a Neural Bridge (She is a Neurologist from Raunds in England.).

The secondary functions of an associative thinker are in the Cerebellum, Temporal, and Parts of the frontal lobe.

This basically means that the neural mapping of an associative thinker is vastly different from that of a linear thinker.

Linear thinkers are instinct and emotion-driven, with subjective neural logic systems in tandem with how they think and feel.

Whereas, associative thinkers are logic-driven with the ability to override instinct and emotions if there is a logical reason for doing so; their neural logic systems could be either subjective or objective, depending on the environments they were raised in, and/or their focuses/interests.

I am an associative thinker, we use more of the areas of our brains than linear thinkers, which has been seen on an EEG brain scan; Dr's claim it's abnormal; their thinking is flawed and based on incorrect and unethical research of Neuro-Divergent brain structures stemming from experiments and studies conducted 88 years ago; as such they have a poor understanding of emerging neural types. It is however a part of human evolution, rather than a dysfunction, or disability.

To conclude:

If using a 2-dimensional diagram, you could say that all humans are left and right-brained, regardless of whether they are linear or associative thinking types.

Using a 3-dimensional model, those with mappings more towards the front part of the brain are the analytical types. Those with mappings more towards the back would be the creative types.

From the 3D model, you could use the same logic to look at Associative types who would all be Neuro-Divergents.

Using primitive Neuro-Typical labels that would be Autism Spectrum for the mappings towards the front, and DYS- for mappings more towards the back of the brain.
