    Hi Dlux ... all artists know about left/right brain functions as we are taught about it along with techniques to shift from left to right mode in the studio.

    There is a book 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' by Betty Edwards which dispels the myth that artistic talent is gene based ... that everyone has the same inate ability to draw well.

    The online test first asked about the pencil/doorframe and closing eyes etc ... to me this is confusing the issues as we all have a dominant eye regardless of whether we are in left or right brain 'mode' ...

    Every trap/skeet shooter (claytargets) knows about this as all the masters such as Michael Diamond shoot with both eyes 'open' ... a difficult feat to learn ... those right handed shooters with a dominant left eye need a patch to cover their left eye.

    Important to note that the left brain is autocratic, logical, analytical and decisive whilst the right is artistic and emotional.

    IMHO ... traders need to suppress right side tendancies and think with the 'head' and not the 'heart' ... we often see what happens to those who are sentiment based or 'fall in love' with a stock. The often heard discipline 'plan the trade' and 'trade the plan' is a deliberate strategy to help with this.

    Cheers ... tight stops.


    This is only my view ... read the red stuff.
