left brain vs. right brain

I've been really intrigued lately by the concept that our brains are divided by hemisphere and that most of us lean towards using one or the other.

I took a test the other day that said i lean about 60/40--right/left.  

I'm not really surprised, but to a certain extent it always makes me wonder why I'm involved in business at all!  

I mean, business seems like something dominated by left brainers.  "Gimme the cold hard facts, bottom lines, profit margins, quotas, etc."

And I just don't really function that way.  I feel like I've been reading a lot lately about right brainers and creative minds being essential to business.  Especially in our economic times.  Steve jobs, for example, apple's ceo, is a strong visual person, right brained I think.

Right brain is what makes me think of weird things like, why not start a blog, or why don't we invest in customer service and employee development?  What if we improve the atmosphere of the home?  Left brainers, who deal with number crunching and facts, don't really roll with that.

On the other hand, I have just enough left brain to keep me in order--unlike a lot of right brainers I know who are weird emotional slinkies who are impossible to understand by the normal individual.  Friends of mine, definitely, but definitely an odd bunch.

To be fair though, I am definitely 60/40, meaning, I drop a lot of the details and the pieces here and there, and someone definitely has to pick up those pieces for me.

Good thing I have a mom.
