As we all know the brain consists of two hemispheres, the right and the left. Both the right brain and the left brain, have a defined set of functions which they perform independent of each other. This defines the personality of the individual and tells us a lot about his/ her characteristics and ways of dealing with different issues in life. It is usually seen that each of us prefers one hemisphere over the other. However, some of us may use both the hemispheres equally.
