“Put simply, Benziger's theory expresses personality in terms of four quadrants of the brain (basal means rear or back): bullet Basal Left - process and routine bullet Basal Right - intuition and empathy bullet Front Left - logic and results bullet Front Right - vision and creativity Benziger relates these modes of thinking to Jung's Four Functions, and Benziger's theory provides many people an immensely helpful way to make sense of what Jung said and advocated. [...] People can and often do however develop competencies in other modes. When they do in practice they will be using more areas of their brain, and when they do this the competencies outside their natural lead are always somewhat draining, which links to Benziger's ideas about the dangers of falsification of type. If it's 'draining' using competencies that are not our natural strength, it must be more stressful still when we have to work exclusively in a competence other than our natural preference.” - × × ×
