Aspiring artist or mini mathematician?
Research shows that a child's tendency to be either more analytical or more creative is influenced by which side of his brain is utilised more in terms of processing information, problem-solving and thinking in general. A 'left-brained' child, for example, will usually lean more towards detailed, logical, complex thought processes. His 'right-brained' peer is more likely to see the bigger picture and also to be more socially-orientated, with more developed language skills.
'Youngsters who are helped to be flexible and, quite literally, open-minded, and develop "left" and "right" thinking styles will have an advantage,' says chartered psychologist Kairen Cullen, former Chair of the Division of Education and Child Psychology at the British Psychological Society. 'In addition, if you can help them to understand their own unique learning profile, they will be in an even better position to develop to their full potential throughout life.'
So does your child lean towards artistic or scientific creativity? Take our quiz to find out. Choose the answer that fits most closely to your child. Remember there are no right or wrong answers.
