Which brain do you favor?
This is the coolest little brain test I've ever seen. Take a look at this little ballerina and notice which way she's spinning. Clockwise or Counter-clockwise?
The funny thing is, she will look like she's spinning clockwise if you use more of your right side of your brain and counter-clockwise if you favor the left side of your brain.
Seriously. You can prove it by forcing the other side of your brain to take over. Stare at her and concentrate until you now see her spinning the opposite direction. You can help trick yourself by staring a little below her and watching her through your peripheral vision. It's super cool when you do it. Suddenly she's going the other way! I have a hard time keeping that going tho... she always reverts to clockwise for me.
Anyway... here's some common traits of Right Brain and Left Brain people:
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
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
CLOCKWISE
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
So which way did she spin? Can you get her to reverse? Do these brain properties apply to you?
