Left or Right? 2009-10-25

Filed under: Articles, Journal, Self Help — admin @ 1.31 pm

Are you a left or right brained person? If you don’t already know, you are about to find out! : )

If you see the lady turning clockwise you are using your right brain. If you see it the other way, you are using left brain.

Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.

See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain’s current.

BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN

Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking: 

         
Left Brain               Right Brain
 
 
 
Logical                         Random
 
Sequential                    Intuitive
 
Rational                       Holistic
 
Analytical                     Synthesizing
 
Objective                     Subjective
 
Looks at parts              Looks at wholes

Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

Interesting stuff huh?

For me she dances clock- and anticlockwise! Funny!

 
harry versluys Says:

In the past according to similar tests I was a rightbrained person. Guess this means meditation and braintraining works!

 
Evelyne Says:

I am totally unable to see her turning anticlockwise. According to your description of both potentials, I think I belong to both but, following your analysis, I shoud be a right brain user????
Do you have any explanation?

Please try to keep your totally open smiling face. It has become so scarce nowadays.

 
Lusine Says:

I see her moving in both directions. If you look for a long time, you’ll notice her change direction, pay close attention. :)

 
Erinn! Says:

I can only see it one way and that is clockwise. I can’t even try to see it the other way…

 
Kirsten Says:

Ok, most of the time she’s clockwise, but every now and then she changes direction. When she changes direction, it’s the same feeling that you get right when you know you’re going to sneeze. Crazy!!

 
Lydia Says:

Ok, always thought I was a total left brainer, now it turns out I see her move both ways?!
Lol, at least now I know where the chaos in my head comes from ;-) , logic against random…

Very interesting.. I wonder how I can put that to some good use..

 
ladyfreak Says:

woooowww!!!amazing. it gives a whole new idea! thanks for the new knowledge you’d share. truly it’s amazing!

 
Ica Says:

It starts out clockwise, but when I first saw it, I thought it went the other way. I was confused about it too, until I read the blog. I think I’m mildly confused too, because when I think I’m close to figuring this out, it shifts on me, and I have to start all over again. It’s almost enough to make me cry. XDDD But it’s very interesting. All I’m trying to figure out though is how this was created, does anything actually change in the picture to make me see it change. I’m guessing the answer is no, but still things are confusing for me.
