Right Brain Left Brain



Which Side Of Your Brain Do You Default To?

Jump over to this great test at The Daily Telegraph.

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.

Well?

I defaulted to right.

Then got caught up in a bunch of sorting through blogs, looked up and was in left.

Worked really hard... and couldn't change it back. So I relaxed. And that didn't do a damn thing either. Tried looking at photos, thinking big thoughts.

Nothing.

Eventually I figured out the trick, and now I can just flip the dancing girl back and forth, back and forth. *grins*

You?
