certain assumptions and expectations about their behavior."

You seemed to be "whole brained" as my father is- well balanced in both
hemispheres. He can be spontaneous and creative yet very analytical the
next minute. I am completely right brained and can emphasize with many
of the comments that others have posted. I hardly realize now how
differently I process anymore. I scribble at meetings, on the phone, and
yes even on the listserv (Saved messages aren't quite as memorable as my
sketches as I read everyone's ideas). But, I do struggle with
left-brained activities as I have since I was young. I know exactly how
my seventh graders feel as they tap their toes and rock their chair as
they listen to a teacher lecture for 20 min.
