2. Is nice related to any concepts in the chapter, such as one of the big five personality dimensions, Myers-Briggs components, or left-right brain dominance? Discuss. The big five personality dimensions describe an individual’s: - extroversion, - agreeableness, - conscientiousness, - emotional stability, - openness to experience. Each dimension contains a wide range of specific traits. The one that interest us is the agreeableness which contains traits such as being good-natured, cooperative, forgiving, compassionate, understanding and trusting. Indeed, those can be used as a reference to kindness (= being nice). In this concept it is said that a leader who score high in this category, in other words a nice leader, is more …show more content…
Left-right brain dominance is about the fact that the distinct hemispheres influence thinking. The left hemisphere is associated with logical, analytical thinking and a linear approach to problem solving. The right hemisphere is associated with creative, intuitive and value-based thought process. It is important to note that everyone uses its both hemispheres, but to varying degrees. Four quadrants of the brain, related to different thinking style, have been identified: - Quadrant A is associated with logical thinking, analysis of fact and processing numbers. - Quadrant B deals with planning, organization of facts and careful detailed review. - Quadrant C is related to interpersonal relationships and affects intuitive and emotional though processes. -Quadrant D is associated with conceptualizing, synthesizing and integrating fact and patterns, with seeing the big picture rather than the details. In this concept, kindness is referenced in quadrant C. Indeed, in this quadrant, individuals are sensitive to others and enjoy interacting with and teaching other, they are friendly, trusting and empathic. In other words, they are concerned with people’s feelings more than with tasks and procedures and may put emphasis on employee development and training. Nice is related to all the concepts which have been quoted previously. This can be explain by the fact
It is still not fully understood whether or not the action of certain tasks is actually dependant on both of the brain hemispheres, because they both appear to have control over some tasks. An example of this, is the left hemisphere which is said to be responsible for the analytic part of the tasks, such as reading and making calculations. Within many individuals, it is also the dominant centre of language
According to the theory of lateralisation developed by Robert Sperry and Robert Ornstein, the cerebral cortex in the two hemispheres perform the same motor and sensory functions but each of the hemisphere is specialized for different tasks. As the brain develops, the left hemisphere is superior in doing tasks that involve speech, language, reading, and writing. The right hemisphere shows superiority in tasks that involves creativity, intuition, facial recognition, non-verbal imagery, musical recognition, sense of direction, play and sports, learning experience and risk-taking. Lateralisation is developed for the task that is done, that is the right hemisphere is used for a particular function. This decision is influenced by genetics, childhood learning experiences and
The brain is one of the most complicated things ever researched. Typically the brain is split into two halves. The left side of a person’s brain is used for critical and analytical thinking. When the brain is faced with a serious problem the left brain
Pink’s argument that we are moving out of a left-brain dominance and in to a new era where right brain qualities will be prized is well illustrated in part one the book. According to Pink “the two hemispheres of our brain don’t operate as on-off switches…both halves play a role in nearly everything we do” (2011). Pink suggests that both hemisphere of the brain are equally important. In fact, “a healthy,
The results of this study show us the brain is not in fact symmetrical and the two hemispheres in the brain work in different ways. The left hemisphere is known to play the dominant role, which is in control of all complex behavioural and cognitive processes as for the right hemisphere it only plays a minor role. This report will further analyse how different the two hemisphers is the dominant side of the brain.
For many decades people have been considered to be either right or left side dominant in regards to brain function which came with defined roles such as “creative” or “analytical”. This thinking tends to be over-simplified as most people use their entire brains daily (Jensen, 2010). On the other hand people do use different parts of their brain for different tasks according to how they perceive those tasks.
The Lexical hypothesis allowed many factors to emerge, leading to the emerging of the five main factors (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism), (Costa & McCrae, 1995).
Using the theories of personality discussed in the chapter, identify at least three dimensions of Mark Wilson's personality?
areas. For example, regarding different levels of knowledge, the lowest level is on the bottom and the
Right brain? Left brain? Both sides are very different and have their own characteristics that help determine what a persons potential strengths and weaknesses will be. “The human brain is split into two halves, each with its own unique abilities. This phenomenon, discovered three decades ago by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Roger Sperry and his associates at the California Institute of Technology, is known as brain lateralization” (Raudsepp, 1992, p. 85). Certain characteristics of a person can go so much deeper then just hobbies that a person enjoys. Brain function can play a major role in how a person perceives their surroundings, such as if someone like to draw or do math. On the other side of that if a person is very analytical and good at subjects in school such as math it could be linked to which side of their brain is dominant.
“We as humans are designed to be well-rounded; we have two halves of the brain. We are not ignoring that right side of the brain, but we are certainly underserving that side of the brain. Says Lance eagled an art teacher at Churchill whose budget was recently cut. According to psychology, you have two parts of your brain. Some people have stronger sides than other for instance, if you are more left brained you have more analytical thinking, you think logically , are good at language in addition to math and science . If you have a stronger right, you are very imaginative; you are good at understanding something immediately, plus having creativity, in addition to Art and
The factors of the Big Five are neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness (Schultz, 2015, p. 231).
The Five Factor Model or Big Five model developed by McCrae and Costa factor together personality traits into 5 major categories. Those factors were Neuroticism (worried insecure, nervous, highly strung), Extraversion (Sociable, talkative, fun-loving, affectionate), Openness (Original, independent, creative, daring), Agreeableness (Good-natured, softhearted, trusting, courteous), and Conscientiousness (Careful, reliable, hardworking, organized). (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). They are able to include most of other lower order traits accounting for specific dimensions of individual differences in personality. (Schultz & Schultz, 2013)

Furthermore, the right brain impacts learning by concurrent hemispheric style, which is deliberated as being global. The main focus of the right brain is visual, which means they process information in an expressive way and like to show creativity in their work (Cherry, 2014). Right brain learners prefer to learn by visually seeing the whole picture first, and then eyeing at the specifics after that. They will also develop information in a sequential format, starting with details leading up to a intangible understanding of the skill at hand. This generally means it impacts learning by beginning with the overall theory and then going on to details. Students with a right brain dominance should integrate a number of hands on activities, which will help with learning the assignment (Education Alliance,
