Taken from today’s Courier Mail, here in Brisbane, “Left side v right side of the brain test“:

brain test

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 (anti) - RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS (clockwise)

  • detail oriented - “big picture” oriented
  • facts rule - imagination rules

  • knowing - believes

So are you a lefty, or a righty?  I was originally a righty.  I had to leave it for a moment, and come back to it, but now I can see both ways and switch between with no worries.
