As a budding research .it is important to remember that particular research strategies are good or bad to the exact degree that they fit with the question in hand. the perspective you will adopt and the method you will use need to
Logical, analytic, systematic,formal,factual,linear ,these are the words we use to associate with research while organized,disciplined and even pedantic are words associate with researchers. These are the words which physiologists use to describe left-brain thinking. many of descriptors for left-brain double as adjective of itself. But what about the creative or right-brain ? Word such as intuitive,spontaneous, random, informal and holistic are rarely associated with 'rigorous' research.Well in my mind this is like try to understand a two sided world using only one-sided skills and thought processes.
Albert Einstein said " the intuitive mind is a scared gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant"
research need to be seen as process reliant on both the creative right as well as strategic and logical left.

- Flexible
- Eclectic
