5.6.2. The dependence of the type of thinking on the leading hand

It is essential that the above-described functions of right and left hemispheres are only characteristic of the right-handed people. The right hemisphere of left-handed people, on the contrary, is responsible for abstract-logical and verbal thinking. So, the type of thinking depends not only on the functional asymmetry of cerebral hemispheres, but on the leading hand as well.

A more complicated case is the definition of the type of thinking of ambidextrous people who are characterized by equal development of both hands. The following things should be mentioned concerning this question. As it has been shown in a number of investigations, the hand also gives way to some development. In this connection the ambidextrous people (people whose manual asymmetry does not exceed 1%) should be joined to the group of left-handed people. Those examinees whose right hand domination makes more than 1% refer to the group of right-handed people. Basing on the above-stated items the diagnostics of thinking peculiarities made on the device “Activationmeter” includes: 1) the diagnostics of FAH and 2) the diagnostics of leading hand. As the diagnostics of FAH is described in chapter III of § 1 and the diagnostics of leading hand is described in the previous paragraph, there is no need to describe the diagnostic procedure.

5.6.3. Putting the diagnosis

Putting the diagnosis concerning the peculiarities of thinking presupposes the comparison of the results of the diagnostics of FAH (see chapter III, § 1) and the diagnostics of leading hand (see chapter V, § 5).

5.6.3.1. If, according to the results of leading hand diagnostics, the examinee turned out to be right-handed, then the right-side displacement of FAH tells about the predominance of emotional-figurative and spatial thinking and the left-side displacement of FAH tells about the predominance of abstract-logical and verbal thinking.

5.6.3.2. If, according to the results of leading hand diagnostics, the examinee turned out to be left-handed or ambidextrous (with the coefficient of leading hand domination not more than 1%), then, on the contrary, the right-side displacement of FAH tells about the predominance of abstract-logical and verbal thinking and the left-side displacement of FAH tells about the predominance of emotional-figurative and spatial thinking.

5.6.3.3. Besides the index of FAH is compared with the similar index of thinking peculiarities: the situational index of FAH – with situational index of thinking, the individually typological index of FAH – with the individually typological index of thinking, etc.

5.6.4. Some possible ways of practical use of methods and results of the diagnostics

5.6.4.1. In professional selection and professional orientation the diagnostics of genetically conditioned type of thinking occupies a very important place. For example, when examining a child you should take into account the fact that the emotional-figurative type of thinking testifies to the child’s genetic predisposition to the lessons of art, to some artistic-creative professions. The abstract-logical type of thinking testifies to the predisposition to precise sciences (mathematics, physics, logic etc.). In this connection the following two items should be made clear.

  1. The question is the preferability of this or that sphere of activity for a given person. Besides the abilities of one and the same person are compared in different spheres. His achievements in comparison with other people depend mostly on the general level of his intellectual or sensor-motive abilities.

  2. It is proved that different kinds of professional activity have more or less expressed trend on the abstract-logical or emotional-figurative thinking. However this criterion is not unique, for there is an individual style of activity. That is why we do not recommend putting the final diagnosis basing only on this criterion and not using the other ones.

As a supplementary information you may use the results of the investigation of motivation to those kinds of activity, which we are interested in, also you may use the figures of their successful performance by the examinee. First it is better to put a preliminary profession-orientation diagnosis, then you may correct it in the process of further activity.
