How you respond to drama depends on if you are a holistic or analytical thinker. Researchers showed volunteers the film My Sister's Keeper on a screen while the research subjects were lying down in an MRI scanner. The study compared the volunteers' brain activity, and concluded that holistic thinkers saw the film more similarly with each other than analytical thinkers. In addition, holistic thinkers processed the film's moral issues and factual connections within the film more similarly with each other than the analytical thinkers. Source 9v.
I seriously think I am holistic rather than analytical. I like to see the bigger picture rather than be captured by the small details that make life hectic.
