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 |
It automatically turns clockwise for me. I had to concentrate really hard to make it turn counter-clockwise. When it changed direction I had to really concentrate to change it back. Very weird feeling. You almost feel like you’ve just controlled an inanimate object with your mind. At least I felt that way. Still I think it’s an interesting exercise, at least for me, because I always thought of myself as a bit more left-brained than right-brained. The spinning lady says otherwise.
Let me know which way you see it!
