Exclamation THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test - 02-19-2008, 10:49 AM

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?


If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
  • uses logic
  • detail oriented
  • facts rule
  • words and language
  • present and past
  • math and science
  • can comprehend
  • knowing
  • acknowledges
  • order/pattern perception
  • knows object name
  • reality based
  • forms strategies
  • practical
  • safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
  • uses feeling
  • "big picture" oriented
  • imagination rules
  • symbols and images
  • present and future
  • philosophy & religion
  • can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
  • believes
  • appreciates
  • spatial perception
  • knows object function
  • fantasy based
  • presents possibilities
  • impetuous
  • risk taking
I can see the dancer turning clockwise but I can let her turn counterclockwise as well. Almost on command but it takes quite some concentration though.
In default, the dancer turns clockwise to me, meaning that I probably use my right side of my brain more than my left side.

Sick!! I saw her turning clockwise but after having read your responses I concentrated on her reflection and could after a few seconds see her spinning counter clockwise.

I see it both ways in pretty much equal distribution. And MikeJ says I'm seeing things.. Fascinating.

close your eyes a little bit and lean your head left and rigth and the woman change direction.
