Further to the right brain/left brain quiz . . .
Is the dancer spinning clockwise or counter-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

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

can “get it” (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based

So which way is she spinning for you? I can’t get her to be anything other than anti-clockwise

Well with a bit more effort, and after my wife told me that she could see her spin either way, I managed to make her change direction.
And I noticed, I can’t type in my first comment – for me the default direction seems to be clockwise.

At the moment she’s going counter-clockwise, but yesterday she was going both ways.

To me she persists in going clockwise, although from the list of functions I would have expected the opposite.

Hey az, I decided to blog about this too. There are a couple of really good links in my post that are worth following. For me, she spins clockwise unless I make efforts to turn her around. According to the list, that makes me visual, intuitive, etc. I think I am, but I still think left/right-brainedness is nonsense. 🙂

I’m totally confoosed. She keeps changing direction – if I blink she may change, if I look away and back again she changes – it is all very disconcerting.

Sometimes she changes when I’m looking right at her and not blinking.

Nope – like Nog – I’m surprised she goes clockwise for me, but I can only get her to change very occasionally, and then not for long

Boy, I’m not surprised that she goes clockwise for me, I KNOW that I am totally right brained. But for the life of me I can’t make her go the other way, and I have spent a certain amount of time trying to make her go the other way. Odd.

I can get her both ways . . . to spin, I mean

If she changes for me at all HMH, its when I concentrate on the heel she is spinning on. And tell myself that although it looks as though her toes are coming around towards me they are going away . . .
But as I say – it doesn’t work often.

Uh…she’s spinning counter-clockwise for me, but is also making me quite dizzy…

Oh dear, I CANNOT make the wretched girl spin anti-clockwise, she persists in spinning clockwise.
Which ruins my theory that I am not only a visual and intuitive person but also very logical… I don’t understand how she can possibly go anti-clockwise…
But then:
“reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe”
Ah yes, OBVIOUSLY not me, fair enough.
I may have to go and lie down in a dark room for a while.

Now..I was about to comment that this left brain/ right brain stuff is all bollocks. But then…for me, she;s definitly going clockwise, no matter how hard I concentrate and I can Magic Eye!)…and then high up on the list I saw ‘Big Picture’, which is exactly how I described myself only yesterday. I don’t do detail. I have a ‘synthetic intrelligence’. I draw inferences, bring ideas together, recognise analogies, see patterns.

Edward! I was just about to send you an email and ask how you’re doing as it’s been ages since I’ve heard from you. I had at least expected you to show up here and leave another comment about left brain/right brain stuff being all bollocks. 😉
Nog and truce can’t get her to go any other way but clockwise either. She spins both ways for me, sometimes changing direction while I’m looking at her.
Does this make me ‘balanced’ or ‘wishy washy’?
