With all this talk about being a right-brainer or a left-brainer, maybe you should see which half of your brain dominates your thinking when it comes to managing your money. Take a look at the two lists below and circle the traits that apply to you from each list.

A.  Planner, saver, conservative, organized, practical, logical, linear, focused, bottom line, decisive, frugal, stable, reliable, detail oriented.

B.  Impulsive, big spender, risk taker, disorganized, impractical, intuitive, distracted, chaotic, emotional, unstable, fun, dreamer, big picture.

Total A  Answers  ….          Total  B answers

If you have more ‘A’ answers you are a left brainer. If you have more ‘B’ answers your right brain dominates your thinking. If you have an even amount from each list you are a whole brainer (or fully actualized). Which is best? Well, each has its advantages and disadvantages, but I would say having some traits from both sides might be the most helpful when it comes to handling your finances.
