Logical vs. Creative : 

Logical vs. Creative “For years, psychologists have played with the theory that there are two types of people: the creative and the logical. The creative people do most of their thinking with the right side of the brain, the logical people with the left side. The creative (those with a more artistic mind-set) supposedly think in a lateral, less organized way; the logical (those closer to the sciences) in a more focused, disciplined way. The right-brainers live by intuition, on sensing and perceiving life around them. The left-brainers analyze, quantify and live by linear, logical thinking.” (Lane(
