1. The following excerpt is taken from Nikki Bush`s (you heard her on
East Coast Radio) book called Parenting the Wired Generation –
How to future-proof your child:
….”all agree that every child thinks differently and solves problems
differently, depending on his or her age, maturity and unique
wiring….genetic brain dominance
profile of a child has a definite impact on his or her personality and behaviour. It
also determines how the child will take in, process and act on information for the
rest of his or her life.
Your brain dominance profile is determined by many variables, such as eyes, ears,
hands, feet and brain parts. This is a very helpful tool for parents and
teachers. Understanding your child`s profile can help you to
unlock his or her potential in a most meaningful way.”
We are the way we are because everybody is uniquely neuro-chemically wired as a
result of genetics and life experiences. This wiring determines the way we think, feel
and act based on the genetically dominant pathways for taking in sensory
information, processing information and responding to it. The dominant pathway
from input, through processing to produce output, determines our unique Mind
Dynamix Profile.
The Mind Dynamix Profile is a physiological model that indicates the dominance of:
 The left or right eye and ear - INPUT
 The three dimensions of the brain: LOGICAL left brain / CREATIVE right brain,
RATIONAL top brain / EMOTIONAL bottom brain as well as RECEPTIVE back brain /
EXPRESSIVE front brain - PROCESSING
 The left or right hand and foot - OUTPUT.
Mind Dynamix Profiles provide useful information about our wiring, and a clear
understanding of our initial response in moments of stress. When stressed, we rely
on our most dominant wiring, but when relaxed, the dominance fluctuates,

2. resulting in a more balanced / whole brain state.
Some examples:
 When doing administrative and financial work or proof-reading it is helpful to
have right eye dominance as it enables you to look at words and numbers
critically and analytically. The right eye is good at copying work from the
board, staying between the lines when writing and maintaining letter
formation, but may find it difficult to see the underlying meaning in poetry,
literature and subjects requiring comprehension.
 The left eye is good at seeing the bigger picture and identifying many ways of
doing the same thing. Because it is governed by the emotional and creative
right brain, it may produce inconsistent work, be inaccurate at copying from
the blackboard or may misinterpret questions during tests when reading too
fast.
 The left ear is a musical ear which listens fore tonality and underlying emotion
in communication than to factual content. Therefore the left ear often misses
the details and you may have to ask for the information to be repeated. No,
you don`t have a hearing problem; you are merely selective in what you hear!
 Should you be left-brain, top-brain and front-brain dominant, you would be
focussed, driven and a perfectionist go-getter. You may suffer from high stress
levels due to the inhibition of emotions and creativity.
 Should you be right brain, left hand and front-brain dominant – you would be
good at thinking on your feet and presenting information in terms of potential
possibilities instead of hard facts. Should you be a performing artist you would
be able to give a sensitive rendition and play your part with passion.
REMEMBER: Both sides of the brain are involved in nearly every activity.
Dominance is simply a matter of timing and degree of involvement!
The brain is a muscle that needs to
be exercised lest it becomes flabby
