Left-Brained or Right?

Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or counter-clockwise?



I didn't even understand the point of this at first. Obviously she was turning clockwise. She couldn't be doing both at the same time. This wasn't a test of left brain versus right; it was a test of whether you knew which way a clock turned.

But then my brother told me he was able to flip her on command, after initially seeing her turn clockwise as well. So I gave it another look, and after a couple of minutes of frustration, lo and behold, she was turning counter-clockwise! How in hell...

I still see her turn clockwise initially, but if I focus on a specific area (no, not there), she flips. Amazing.

These are the left and right brain functions. Left = counter-clockwise, right = clockwise. Interesting that I'm supposedly right-brained. Bizarre, really. I think most would say I was left-brained by a long shot, given the following. What are you?

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
