The aim of the study was to examine the whole brain theory-based brain quadrants, and whether each of these is different according to gender. To achieve the aims of the study, whole brain theory-based brain quadrants test will be used. To verify the validity of the test, specialists’ agreement was used. For reliability, test reliability coefficients were used. The study seeks to achieve the following objectives: examine the dominating brain quarter among the study sample, and to clarify the differences in the whole brain theory-based brain quarters according to gender.
