Is it not obvious? The left aligned group are using the left side of their brain while the justified group are using the right side of their brain. To quote one author, "a person who is "left-brained" is often said to be more logical, analytical and objective, while a person who is "right-brained" is said to be more intuitive, thoughtful and subjective." Hmmm... where did I leave those asbestos overalls?
