Left Brain vs Right Brain test

Last April I posted a test determine if either your left or right brain is dominant. Here's another, even more fascinating experiment.

Click on this link and take a look at the lady. Do you see her turning clockwise or counter-clockwise? In case you see her moving around clockwise, your right brain is dominant. If you see her moving counter-clockwise the left hemisphere of your brain is dominant.

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

Do you see her dancing clockwise or counter-clockwise? Most people will see her dancing counter-clockwise. Some people can see both. It´s fascinating to experience your own brain using both sides. It worked with me, especially while thinking about something emotional, e.g. something that makes you very happy or sad, and then thinking about something very logic, such as trying to calculate how money is left on your bank account. But if the balance of your account suddenly makes you feel really happy or sad, maybe you will see her moving clockwise again. Try it!
