Brain Power Inventory

Research has indicated that most people are dominant in one brain hemisphere, left or right. Determining your dominant brain hemisphere can play a role in determining how you learn best and how you relate to others. Remember, any inventory is just a guide. People are most successful when they integrate and develop both sides of the brain. Take the following inventory to determine your primary brain dominance. Select: Rarely, Sometimes, or Often to best describe your tendency.
