Which side of the brain do people use more,left side or right side?

I was once told if you are left handed you use the right side of your brain and if you are right handed you use the left side.  So, I guess it would depend.

I think it's the left side. I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but check out the website below.

genetics plus you may notice that its growing more on your dominant side; right or left handed; more stimuli is caused and circulation

My theory: Only women need both sides of the brain men only use half of it. This is why women are alot smarter!\nBut in other theories: Right Side vs. Left Side\n\nEach side of the brain has its own unique and special abilities. The right side of the brain is intuitive, while the left side of the brain is logical.\n\nLeft side processes:\nSpeech\nAnalysis\nTime\nSequence \n \nIt Recognizes:\nLetters \nNumbers \nWords \n\nRight side processes:\nCreativity \nPatterns \nSpatial Awareness \nContext \n \nIt Recognizes:\nFaces \nPlaces \nObjects \n \nFunctions associated with hemispheric dominance include: \n\nRight Hemispheric\nFunctions: \nConnected to left side of the body \nIntegrates many inputs at once \nProcesses information more diffusely and simultaneously \nDeals with space \nResponsible for gestures, facial movements, and body language \nResponsible for relational and mathematical operations \nSpecializes in recognizing places, faces, objects, and music \nDoes intuitive and holistic thinking \nThe seat of passion and dreams \nCrucial side for artists, craftsman, and musicians \n\nLeft Hemispheric\nFunctions: \nConnected to right side of body \nDeals with inputs one at a time \nProcesses information in a linear and sequential manner \nDeals with time \nResponsible for verbal expression and language \nResponsible for invariable and arithmetic operations \nSpecializes in recognizing words and numbers \nDoes logical and analytical thinking \nThe seat of reason \nCrucial side for wordsmiths and engineers \n\nFemales tend to be more left hemispheric dominant and males tend to be more right hemispheric dominant.\nFemales Test Better On:\n\nPerceptual speed \nVerbal fluency \nDetermining the placement of objects \nIdentifying specific attributes of objects \nPrecision manual tasks \nArithmetic calculations (simple math) \n\nMales Test Better On:\nSpatial tasks \nTarget direct motor skills \nSpotting shapes embedded in complex diagrams \nMathematical reasoning

I'm actually right handed in writing and eating, but left handed in some sports. Pool and billiards, target shooting and I can draw with both hands. Its a good exercise also to practice something you're not used to doing with the "wrong" hand.\n\n(and thanks for your kind answer to my question)

nope.  left-brained persons are thought to be more analytical (Think math and science oriented personalities)\n\nWhereas, right-brainedpeople are said to be more artistically inclined (think actors, musicians, artists)\n\nDo not be fooled.  Right-brainers are every bit as brilliant as lefters, and you may find many skilled surgeons who are right-brained.   Just as many artistic directors and choreographers may be left-brained.  \n\nIt is always in how you appy yourself to life that counts.

Technically, the frontal lobe is used in plan making - thus future consequences. Damage to the frontal lobe makes people impulsive, uncaring of consequences (or unknowing). But, the frontal lobe is in both hemispheres...

If the stroke is on the left side of the brain, then it will be the opposite side that is effected..(ie the right).

So using the left is okay?

Hmmmm ... it's difficult to say.  Maybe people who are left handed are smarter since they have to learn to cope in a world made for right handed people.  \n\nWhile there is an unresolved debate within the scientific community on how to operationalize both intelligence and creativity, some studies have demonstrated a small positive correlation between left-handedness and creativity/intelligence.  In his book Right-Hand, Left-Hand, Chris McManus of University College London, argues that the proportion of left-handers is rising and left-handed people as a group have historically produced an above-average quota of high achievers. He says that left-handers' brains are structured differently in a way that widens their range of abilities, and the genes that determine left-handedness also govern development of the language centres of the brain.\n\nI hope this helps.

You have simply found a unique viewpoint.  Americans, by percentage, are no more left-handed than any other culture.  The dominance of one hand over the other, at this point, seems to be a simply random occurance.  Right handed people, of course, ARE more prevelent..as is proven by the fact that most items used are geared toward right handed folk.  Speaking as an ambidextrous person, I have the best of both worlds..especially the time I broke my right hand. :o)

Lefty is  person who is more dexterous with his left hand than with their right hand. He will probably also use his left hand for tasks such as personal care, cooking, and so on. Similarly, Righty is a right handed person who is more dexterous with his right hand than with their left hand.\n\nDo select the best answers soon!

Humans are symmetrical organisms. Cranial nerves are paired to provide innervation for the left and right.

Knowing how to do math teaches you how to think logically.  This is what the left side of your brain does.  Creativity and such is what the right side is for.  If you know how to think logically then you will know how to make more rational decisions, how to win arguments better, and will have an easier time in most work environments.  It will also help you decide how to spend your money wiser, how to manage time more effectively, and even help you at video and computer games.

All that is really known for sure is that there appears to be more electical and chemical activity in each side of the brain when performing certain tasks, but where there is a misconseption is that one side and one side only is responsible for the activity in a given subject area. Most things require many parts of your brain, some more than others.

left or right?  left, definitely.  right, i may have to ponder that for a while.  unless you're talking toes, then either one can go.
