Right Brain v Left Brain

October 15th, 2007 · 4 Comments

What are you?  Right Brain, or Left Brain?

According to this article, if you see the dancer spinning 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

Fascinating!

    her nipples are totally gratuitous.

    … i broke down the gif, and if you still see it spinning any way other than clockwise, my “big picture” oriented brain, think’s yours is broken:

    omfg, despite my previous comment, if i stare at her shadow for a second, and then look back at her, she’s spinning the other direction.
