Results obtained showed that (1) there is no difference in the right brain tendency between male and female students,  (2) there is no difference in the left brain tendency between male and female students, (3) there is no correlation between students’ right brain tendency or left brain tendency  with their physics achievement and (4) there is no correlation between students’ right brain tendency or left brain tendency with their motivation to learn physics.
