Understand and Use Your Brain Dominances

This book provides questionnaires to help you determine which areas of your brain are most dominant. Other sections of the book describe how to use knowledge of brain dominance to communicate in various scenarios, ranging from work to relationships. Also interesting and useful are the sections of the books where Dr. Benziger describes how you can develop more competence in areas of the brain where you are not dominant. Benziger believes it is better to operate in harmony with your natural brain dominance(s) or type. Benziger links falsification of type (operating primarily outside of one's type preferences) to fatigue, illness and depression, among some symptoms. Working within one's dominant function or brain quadrant(s) leads to energy and joy. Current brain research shows that Jungian type preferences may be localized in the brain. Benziger finds that Thinking and Intuition are rooted respectively in the much-touted Left Frontal and Right Frontal Lobes, referred to in the Benziger Model as Frontal modes. Sensing and Feeling are rooted in the Left and Right Posterior Cortical Convexities, referred to in the Benziger Model as Basal Modes. Her method of mapping functions to brain areas differ somewhat from others who break down functions by introverted vs extraverted as well. They place introverted Sensing as left basal, but extraverted Sensing as right frontal. Extraverted Thinking is left frontal, but introverted Thinking is right basal. Introverted Feeling is right basal, but extraverted Feeling is left frontal. And Extraverted Intuition is right frontal, but introverted Intuition is left basal.
