right-brainers

Intuitive creative thinkers

Right-brainers are people supposedly governed by the right hemisphere of the brain, associated with creativity, intuition, and holistic thinking rather than logic and analysis.

The term reflects a popular but oversimplified model of brain function: Right-brainers tend to think in images rather than words.

Often contrasted with left-brainers.
