A student nurse likes to sleep late and has a high-energy period in the evening. The student resists schedules and prefers to study when it "feels right" and in groups. Which of the following characteristics fit this student?
a. Early bird and left-brain domin-ance c. Owl and left-brain dominance
b. Early bird and right-brain domin-ance d. Owl and right-brain dominance
D
The owl does its best work at night, which fits well with the right-brain–dominant person who resists schedules. People with these characteristics choose to do things in their own time and fa-shion. Early birds tend to do their best work earlier in the day. Left-brain–dominant people process information in a linear, sequential manner, so they would probably prefer a schedule of activities.
