Our Noble Mind
An Investigation Into Human Nature.
Consciousness, Intellect, and our Mind.
This is the basic model described by the Hemispheric Intelligence Mind Theory.
How Hemispheric Theory and Neuroscience can be Related to the H I Mind Model
Modern Hemispheric Theories offer an intriguing parallel to the H I Mind but are built up from the study of brain function as opposed to the H I Mind which derives from a form of Evolutionary Psychology.
This correspondence between Hemispheric Psychology and the H I Mind is intriguing but needs much further study before it could be used as a serious argument for a potential link between the physical brain and a functional model of the mind.
Cognitive Principles Mapped Into the H I Mind Model
The H I Mind model may be thought of as an improved and extended version of the contemporary, though not particularly well defined, psychological model of the human mind. This primarily consists of a conscious mind paired with a subconscious mind along with acknowledgement of personal learnings and cognitive beliefs built up over time.
Some faiths and research describe a super-conscious mind, or a soul, or a spirit. The Noble Focus maps to some descriptions associated with a Soul.
The Aspirational Focus suggests a fourth potential for cognitive core and guiding beliefs: The future.

Suggested Comparison of the H I Mind Model to Keirsey's Four Main Temperaments
Personality models represent interpretations of behavioral characteristics. In this case there is a potential mapping of the main personality types described by MBTI/Keirsey testing.
In this chart I show a potential mapping between the four primary ‘temperaments’ identified by Keirsey. There is no direct link between the communication and action axes presented by Keirsey but there is, perhaps, a similarity between the qualities presented in the Keirsey temperaments and the potential way that any tendency for a dominant focus to result in personality differences.
Modern theories of consciousness extended by the H I Mind Model
There are many modern theories of consciousness that have been proposed as a way to research and study consciousness. Those that focus on the observed functioning of the brain tend to hint at what goes on in consciousness without defining any basic functional attributes of consciousness.
By adding in the semi-conscious focusses described in the H I Mind Model, with their specific attributes and imperatives, the role and function of consciousness can be more easily understood. Much of what goes on in consciousness can be described as a reconciliation of the varied motivations of the focuses.
This does not explain the whole of consciousness and nor does it answer the vexing question of what consciousness actually is. This approach does offer a considerable advance on other approaches though and there are some tantalising possibilities that can be applied to describe, or rather simulate, the remaining core of consciousness.
