Left – Right Conflict
Your RIGHT brain tries to say the colour but…
your LEFT brain insists on reading the word
Experiments show that most children rank
highly creative (right brain) before entering
school.
Because our educational systems place a
higher value on left brain skills such as
mathematics, logic and language than it does
on drawing or using our imagination, only ten

creative by age 7.
By the time we are adults, high creativity
remains in only 2 percent of the population.
