The Whole Brain Model of Ned Herrmann

Are four different kinds of thinking performed in four distinct areas of the brain?

Facts: logical, analytical, fact based, quantitative (left cerebral)
Forms: sequential, organized, detailed, planned (left limbic)
Feelings: interpersonal, feeling based, kinesthetic, emotional (right limbic)
Futures: holistic, intuitive, integrating, synthesizing (right cerebral)

I’ve arranged the quadrants differently than usual. Some might want to see the diagram rotated 180 degrees, so that Facts are at the top. However, there are several reasons that I prefer this arrangement, with organized at top, synthesizing at right, kinesthetic at left, and quantitative at bottom. Part of my confusion is that I ordinarily want to place both Facts and Forms at top, and Feelings and Futures at right.

Images of Whole Brain Herrmann.

The images above remind one of the “Simon Says” toy! Blue, red, green, and yellow are often used in company logos. Three are pigment primary colors, and three are light primary colors. Do colors help one distinguish the quadrants?
