Actually, every functioning human being is left brain dominant. The left brain is responsible for making decisions and simulating a model of the future for your brain. This allows you to plan for the future. It's an evolutionary trait, and in my opinion, essentially makes us human. If someone was right brained dominant, they would not be able to speak or understand language coherently. (all language is controlled by the temporal lobe, which resides in the left brain just a little behind your left ear)
I was thought there is no true difference.. between left & right brain. "Now, scientists at the University of Utah have debunked the myth with an analysis of more than 1,000 brains. They found no evidence that people preferentially use their left or right brain. All of the study participants — and no doubt the scientists — were using their entire brain equally, throughout the course of the experiment.

sandysue is right, the left and right thing isn't true
It's true that our sources are contradictory. Allow me to clear some things up.
It's true (and stated in your article) that one kind of thinking is solely confined to one side of the brain. Here is the split brain paradox:
Our brains work by communicating with different parts of themselves. It's true that we use our entire brains equally, which you stated up there. The difference is that our left brain is in charge. Back to communication: A split brain patient is someone with a brain in which the two hemispheres can't communicate with each other. If our brains were equally dominant. Then the right brain could do what it chooses and the left would do what it decides. Dr. Roger Sperry of the California Institute of Technology won the nobel prize in 1981 for proving that the two hemispheres are not exact carbon copies of each other, but actually perform different functions. Dr. Sperry was treating epileptics, who often suffer from grand mal seizures. These seizures are often caused by
"feedback loops" of communication going awry. It's like a microphone screeching in your ear. Dr. Sperry began by severing the Corpus Callosum which is what links the two hemispheres and allows them to communicate. This stopped the seizures.
Then something strange happened:
at first the split brain patients seemed perfectly normal. They were alert and could carry on conversation as if nothing happened. A careful analysis proved otherwise. "Normally the two hemispheres compliment each other as thoughts move back and forth between the two. The left is more analytical and logical, the right is more holistic and artistic. But the left brain is the dominant one and makes the final decisions. We now know that commands pass from the left brain to the right via the corpus callosum, but once the connection is cut, the right brain is free from the dictatorship of the left. It causes two wills acting in one skull, and the part of the body controlled by the right brain, was often up to other
plans than the left. There is one documented case when a man goes to hug his wife with one hand, only to find that his other hand had an entirely different agenda. RIGHT HOOK TO THE FACE BITCH. one woman would pick one dress, only to have her other hand choose a different outfit. Another man had trouble sleeping at night because he was worried his rebellious hand might strangle him. Reply if you would like more explanation on this, but I think I've left enough to read. Also in my first reply, I meant that one kind of thinking ISNT solely confined to one part of the brain, both have qualities that would seem opposite themselves. Much of my information comes from Dr. Michio Kaku author of the book "The future of the mind"I hope this helped!
I am the left brain, I am the left brain
I work really hard 'til my inevitable death brain
You got a job you better do it right in the right way is with the left brains might!

I like oreos and p***y yah! (yes, in that order)
And I cried for at least an hour after watching Toy Story 3 (Woody!)
Cause I am the right brain, I have feelings,
I'm a little all over the place but I'm lustful and trustful and I'm looking for somebody to love... Or put my p***s in
