Default The Right Brain vs Left Brain test

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/stor...005375,00.html

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 see clockwise, but I know I'm more 'left-brain' oriented.

My brain tells me "those are nice [censored]". What does that make me, right or left?

preemptive: yes it's possible to see it spin the other way

I'm WAY more left brained, but this [censored] is spinning clockwise.

I still can't figure out how she spins the other way.

I can change the direction of the dancer by looking at one of the sides at the point where her hand is the furthest away from her body.

If I focus that point on one side to get one direction and vice versa with the other side.

There is no real turn around, the first half of the turn and the second half is exactly the same, just mirrored and since she is all black you just assume it's the right or left hand, when actually it could be both.
