The Right Brain vs Left Brain test



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.

I use more of my Right Side. When I focus on the doll, I can make her move anti-clockwise, but my first glance at her was clockwise. This test fascinated me because everything under "Right Brain Functions" it true about me. =]
