The fact that the human brain is asymmetrical is well known. Each hemisphere has its own way of perceiving and interpreting information: the left one, verbally, and the right one, non-verbally. In typical development the dominance of the left hemisphere is established when language develops, and from this point it determines the intellectual processes of abstract thinking and logical reasoning. This hemispheric lateralisation manifests the full intersensory integration and integration of sensory processing with language thinking. If in early development this integration does not occur, it results in various disabilities and impairments.
In the general population between 90% and 95% of people have a dominant left hemisphere and use left-brain logic (convergent thinking); the remaining 5% to 10% use a different thinking style (divergent thinking)… Read more: https://www.olgabogdashina.com/post/right-brain-people-in-a-left-brain-world?

A 'reversed' profile is rare by comparison, and associates higher self-reported social difficulties and increased rate of autism and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.’ – Donati G et al. (2024) ‘Motor-sensory biases are associated with cognitive and social abilities in humans.’ – https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11219847/
