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 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.

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

I will.

My brain, like this thread, is redundant.

Clockwise (if you look at her from the sky)

I don't get it. There's no reference point. What's clockwise? From the top or bottom?

Ok, first and foremost.

There is a thread detailing this already. It has numerous pages.

Secondly, this is not a test. It does not mean anything. You don't use one half of your brain more than the other to percieve this illusion, nor does it tell you anything about your personality.

It is bullsh!t

I can ONLY see it turning clockwise, but I just took a paper and pencil test on the same subject and scored completely left brain. I don't think any valid test can be easily put together.
