Your relative position on the EAI Continuum can impact not only your career path but also your situational comfort level while trying to complete key tasks. Brains with differing preferences can learn to complete the same types of tasks, but the relative energy expenditures could vary dramatically, as well as the success of the outcomes. Remember, ambiversion is somewhere between the two extremes.
Following are examples of key tasks correlated to the extremes of extraversion-introversion in combination with Brain Lead.
Key: E = Extreme Extraversion, I = Extreme Introversion.
Refer to the summary table that follows:
|
Left Frontal Lobe
E = Negotiation, leading in times of plenty, situations involving goal setting and achievement (winning)
I = Research of almost any type, diagnosing, fiscal management, investigative writing and/or reporting |
Double Frontal *
E = Negotiation, trouble-shooting, swat team activities, some entrepreneurial ventures
I = Investigation, economics, scientific research, architectural design/drawing, investigative writing and/or reporting, some types of artistic endeavors |
Right Frontal Lobe
E = New ventures, trouble-shooting, leading in times of crisis, self-directed work situations (e.g., truck driving, owner of a small business, consulting), entrepreneurial ventures
I = Computer programming, geology, philosophy, composing, self-directed work situations (e.g., consulting, resource specialist), artistic endeavors |
Double Left *
E = Operational Management, Purchasing
I = Accounting, Engineering design |
 |
Double Right *
E = Marketing, Public Relations,
Organizational Development, Consulting
I = Acting, Artistry, Decorating / Designing |
Left Posterior Lobe
E = Mechanics, assembling machines or equipment, assembly-line work, managing routines accurately, producing services for general public
I = Bookkeeping, stocking supplies, accounting, following detailed instructions sequentially |
Double Basal *
E = Routine tasks and services (e.g., secretarial, teaching, nursing, concierge positions, receptionist positions)
I = Religious orders, bookkeeping |
Right Posterior Lobe
E = Teaching (elementary, high school), consumer affairs, public relations, chaplain or pastoral activities
I = Guidance counseling, counselor, interior decorating |
* Studies by Benziger have shown that approximately 55% of the population utilizes two cerebral divisions on a regular basis when processing information (although only one division typically possesses a biochemical, energy-efficient advantage). Often these two divisions are adjacent to each other, but not always.
