Tests results surprised the heck out of me

Try it yourself. See if you're right-brained or left-brained.

In which direction is the dancer turning? Clockwise or counter-clockwise?



Have always supposed myself to be more left-brained than right-brained, but it's the other way around. And that meshes well with the lists of left/right brain functions.

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 and religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking



Tried visualizing the alternative orientation. Couldn't do it and the effort made me feel sick and thoroughly discombobulated.
