Research is needed to demonstrate the importance of understanding brain behavior as it relates to learning styles and personality traits. 429 graduate and undergraduate students in a university at the southern part of the United States were the participants of this study. The participants were asked to complete a demographic survey as well as McCarthy's Hemispheric Mode Indicator (HMI) instrument to determine each individual's brain hemisphericity. SPSS and SAS computerized statistical programs were employed. ANOVA was used to determine the influence of brain hemisphericity on students' choice of academic majors and the results of a one-way ANOVA indicate a significant difference between academic majors and brain hemisphericity. The results of the study are important in assist administrators in secondary schools and advisors in higher education to place students in programs that are well-matched with their interests and abilities.
