Abstract

We examined thinking styles and its relationship with hemispheric difference and students achievements. The sample consists of 283 participants from Sohag faculty of education. We used Sternberg & Wagner thinking styles inventory, and Brain program to measure the hemispheric activity of individual students. For the achievements we calculated the average of the students’ grades for the past three years before running the current study. Results showed that:
1-          There is a positive correlation between Left Hemisphere (LH), and some of thinking styles, such as: Oligarchic, Anarchic, External styles. While this Correlation between Abovementioned thinking styles and Right Hemisphere (RH) is Negative.
2-          Hierarchic thinking style is most dominant for the students who are using RH and RH=LH, while External thinking styles more dominant for the students who are using LH. 
3-          External thinking style is special for the students who got 70% and more in their total grade, while Hierarchic thinking style is special for the students who got more than 80% and less than 90% in their grades. Additionally, Oligarchic thinking style is special for the students who got more than 90% in their total grades.
4-          Students Achievements could be predicted through, Conservation, Monarchic, and Anarchic thinking styles.
5-          Hemispheric Activity could be predicted from External thinking style.
