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. Anti-clockwise, left side of the brain. 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. (I can't...)

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS...

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
