SS: Left - Right,

Left or Right? Clockwise? or Counterclockwise?

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. If anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise), you use more of the left side of the brain.

Most people would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise, though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it. Many people and their significant other will see the dancer going in opposite directions. While I tend to be a dominant left brain person, I saw this first with my right brain. Maybe it is because for the past six months my left hand has had to learn my right hand functions and skills, because of my accident. I don't know. I know that I have been forced to develop these right brain skills, and I can now use chopsticks left-handed, I can write left-handed, and do many other things that I previously did right handed. So which way does she dance for you? Can you make her dance in the opposite direction? Can you make her dance back and forth?

Each time I look, she's going the other way. Going to have to sit still for a bit and concentrate!

Wow, She can flip back and forth so quickly. At first I thought she only turned clockwise (right brain), but then as I was reading your entry out of my peripheral vision I saw her change directions. Now I can watch her go back and forth. I even made Bob come in and he saw her turning counter-clockwise (left-brained) at first, then she continually changes for him too. I'm glad to hear that your right brain is doing even more work!

Left or right,
great minds think alike!
I wrote on the same topic, it's interesting isn't it?
