Than perhaps you're flat out dead middle-brain? Which is of course the best
of both. Are you sure people use both but don't some people use one side
more frequently than the other or process more data on a specific side? This
explains why many math teachers can't draw worth #@%# and have horrible
spelling whereas many english teachers are horrible at math and science.
This also explains why left siders can be more introverts (tesla?) and right
siders more extroverts.
