Left Brain / Right Brain by Robert Sperry

Left Brain

Right Brain

Solve problems through the use of data. Perform statistical analysis of data Develop solutions using logical analyses of facts Define quality as conformance to definable requirements that can be measured. Improve quality by studying specific variation within a system. Identify root causes of problems by elaborately categorizing possible causes and using strict rules for questioning.

Solve problems through the understanding of relationships Use cause-and effect diagrams. Develop solutions using creativity and brainstorming. Define quality based on a holistic concept, such as total quality. Improve quality by starting with a holistic strategic quality plan. Identify root causes of problems by using, the fivewhys method, barrier analysis and process diagrams.

whole brain concept, once understood, becomes irresistible

What is Multiple Intelligence?

We all possess all of these intelligences but in varying degrees of strength, skill and limitation Just as we all look different and have unique personalities and temperaments, we also have different profiles of intelligences No one kind of intelligence is better than another Each intelligence has its own sphere of expertise Intelligences are independent of each another.

How Intelligences develop?

Intelligence

Biological Endowment nature

Personal Life History nurture

Cultural/ Historic Background time/place

Frames of Mind
Each person is a unique blend of dynamic intelligences which grow, expand and develop throughout life. Intelligence is not singular. Multiple intelligences can be identified and described Rarely do they work alone, rather intelligences are combined in our activities. One can enhance another Teaching students about their intelligence strengths helps them be self-advocates in their learning.
