What Your Thoughts Say About Your Brain

The brain is a funny thing. It’s incredibly complex, and yet it’s essentially a sack of meat hanging out inside your skull. It’s capable of performing intricate processes at light speed, but one stray factor, like a hot day or a distracting noise, can throw it off its groove.

There’s a whole lot of research we still have to do to figure out how our brains work and why, but some experts at Amen Clinics have devised a way to categorize each brain into one of five types. We took those types and adapted them into more approachable and understandable categories:

• Creative Brain: Spontaneous, risk-taking, flexible, artistic. Creative brains rush in, make decisions, and worry about consequences later.
• Logical Brain: Determined, trustworthy, procedural, stubborn. Logical brains get things done by being persistent and pushing through barriers.
• Emotional Brain: Intuitive, alert, empathetic, mystical, spiritual. Emotional brains go with the flow, roll with the punches, and adapt easily.
• Cautious Brain: Thorough, questioning, detail-oriented, skeptical, patient. Cautious brains stay safe by questioning what they’re told, and striving for truth.
• Balanced Brain: Well-rounded, reliable, jack-of-all-trades. Balanced brains mix qualities from all other types into one diverse and versatile package.
  
  

Of course, your brain probably doesn’t fit neatly into any sort of category—people are more complicated than that!—but identifying with a certain category can help you better understand what you think and why. Just remember to keep your mind open, and not to let categories control how you think.
