Imagine RIT

What side of the brain do you use most?

Brain Quiz The Imagine RIT: Innovation and Creativity Festival was designed to demonstrate what can be accomplished when, as RIT President Bill Destler likes to say, “the right and left brain collide.” The two sides of the brain perform different functions: the left brain is associated with logical, rational, analytical, and objective thinking while the right brain is associated with creative, intuitive, holistic and subjective thinking. Which side of the brain do you prefer to use? Take the quiz below to find out!
