In simple terms , the left hemisphere specializes in logical, analytical, sequential processes while the right hemisphere does the intuitive, emotional, visual thinking. This is further subdivided into the cerebral and limbic centers.
This is not new and basically every personality system since the early Greeks (first written record) has used four basic temperaments or personalities.
You have one temperament or a combination of two (not three).

Four main types
Choleric (Right Cerebral): These people are usually quite good at idea generation and in making "quantum leaps" necessary to brainstorm and solve difficult problems. They usually see things others don't and in a team situation often say, "Let's look at this problem in a different way."
Sanguine (Right Limbic): People with a strong dominance in this quadrant maybe excellent facilitators in the group process. They regard interpersonal skills as their strongest and they supply the "glue" that keeps the group working harmoniously together. In a team situation they often ask, "What do you think of the idea?"
Melancholic (Left Limbic): These individuals may be excellent in defining the problem and in assisting with implementation. They may also pursue the problem with a vengeance once it is set into motion. In a team situation they often ask, "How does this idea apply to our situation?"
Phlegmatic (Left Cerebral): People with a strong dominance in this quadrant can be very good at helping to define and analyze the problem. In a team situation they often say, "Let's check this out to see if it's feasible to implement."
