WHAT YOUR BRAIN TYPE SAYS ABOUT YOU. The SPECT scans of individuals with Brain Type 1 typically show full, even, symmetrical activity throughout the brain, with the most activity in the cerebellum—one of the brain’s major processing centers. People with Brain Type 1 tend to live longer because of their high level of conscientiousness. They have what we call a “Balanced Brain.” They do what they say they’re going to do. They show up on time and follow through on tasks they promise to get done. They’re the reliable type of person that you can depend on. Typically, they don’t like taking big risks, nor are they first adopters to new technology. Although it’s possible, they’re not likely to be entrepreneurs or industry disruptors. Instead, they like rules and tend to play by them. One Is Not Done! Although Brain Type 1 is the optimum Brain Type, if you don’t use it, you lose it, so you have to keep it healthy
