left brain right brain words and pictures


What did I just read? That a person can either think primarily in words or in images. And that the completely visual thinker may be less empathetic. But what interests me is checking out how I think and when do I choose to think verbally (in complete sentences I have noticed) and when am I primarily visual? Do I switch back and forth depending on the situation? Am I thinking words and pictures simultaneously? When I am working on an art project, do I abandon the constant comments of the linear left brain? Am I flexing the right brain and reveling in imagery? It might depend upon the task - either primarily carrying out a planned construction or processing the (ever evolving) idea of the piece.
hmmm.......
