OK, we must all be familiar with the concept of right brain or left brain. This is where different sides of your brain perform different functions and the side of your brain that is used more tells us something about which you lean in things like logic and feeling or being safe or a risk taker.
So, I came across this test here. Basically it has a girl spinning and depending on which way you see her spin determines which side of your brain you use more. Apparently most people see her rotate anti-clockwise. Clockwise is for people who are right brained, and anti-clockwise is for people who are left brained.
Here is a table of attributes which each side is meant to show you have:
| Left brain functions | Right brain functions |
| Uses logic | Uses feelings |
| Detail orientated | “Big picture” orientated |
| Facts rule | Imagination rules |
| Words and language | Symbols and images |
| Present and past | Present and future |
| Maths and science | Philosophy and religion |
| Can comprehend | Can “get it” (i.e meaning) |
| Knowing | Believes |
| Acknowledges | Appreciates |
| Order/pattern perception | Spatial perception |
| Knows object name | Knows object function |
| Reality based | Fantasy based |
| Forms strategies | Presents possibilities |
| Practical | Impetuous |
| Safe | Risk taking |
I have now been looking at this test for some time. It is driving me a little mad. I see the girl spin in both directions, I can make her change direction or keep her spinning the same way by thinking about it. Every time I glance at the image she is spinning a different way.
Then I thought I would identify which side I am by reading through the table. I think I know why she spins both ways for me. I split almost perfectly down the middle with that table. Many I an neither one nor the other and for the rest I have an even number of both sides.
