Is it possible to be a Left Brainer, then become a Right Brainer later on in life?

    I disagree with the person who said that there is no such thing as right or left proclivities when it comes to thought patterns and actions.

    When playing hoops I shot right handed and wanted to get an edge with the left hand so through repetition developed my left equal with my right.

    I think we can look at our brain as a scale that when we are born is tipped to one side or the other, but if we diligently work to even this scale it can be done in many areas.

    Naturally no, but you can over time strengthen the abilities that are found on the other side of your brain i.e. If you are left brained, and therefore write with your right hand you can teach yourself to write with your left hand.

    You can put this into practice with many of the characteristics of left and right brains who knows you might even become a super genius if you figure enough of it out!

    There's no such thing as Left BRAINS and Right BRAINS. We all use both hemispheres of our brains.
