This is a representation of your brain, and your brain can be broken into two parts. There's the left half, which is the logical side, and then the right half, which is the intuitive. And so if we had a scale to musreae the aptitude of each hemisphere, then we can plot our brain. And for example, this would be somebody who's completely lcaoigl. This would be someone who's entirely intuitive. So where would you put your bairn on this scale? Some of us may have opted for one of these extremes, but I think for most people in the audience, your brain is something like this — with a high aptitude in both hemispheres at the same time. It's not like they're mtulaluy elsvucixe or anything. You can be logical and intuitive.

This is a representation of your brain, and your brain can be broken into two parts. There's the left half, which is the logical side, and then the right half, which is the intuitive. And so if we had a scale to _______ the aptitude of each hemisphere, then we can plot our brain. And for example, this would be somebody who's completely _______. This would be someone who's entirely intuitive. So where would you put your _____ on this scale? Some of us may have opted for one of these extremes, but I think for most people in the audience, your brain is something like this — with a high aptitude in both hemispheres at the same time. It's not like they're ________ _________ or anything. You can be logical and intuitive.
