The brain is used holistically although some personality types are more analytical than artistic.
Although the functions of the brain is divided based on its hemisphere, even a particular functions to be executed, it would still need the entire brain. The right hemisphere of the brain is more on creativity and face recognition.
The left hemisphere of the brain is in-charge of the cognitive functions such as speech and language. The brain’s two lateral halves also known as left hemisphere and right hemisphere have neurons/receptors which are used for various bodily functions.

One myth that persists even in some scientific circles is that asymmetry is uniquely human.
