Know Which Side of Your Brain You Use The Most




It is commonly thought that one side of our brain is more dominant than the other. Some people are left brain dominant and others are right brain dominant. Some rare people, such as Leonardo Da Vinci, can you use both equally.

It can be very useful to work out which side of your brain you use the most. It can help you understand yourself better and it can help you develop the side of your brain that is not dominant. Then you too could become like Da Vinci!

Have a look at the image above. If the girl above appears to be rotating clockwise then you are right brain dominant. If the girl appears to be rotating counter-clockwise then you are left brain dominant. If the girl seems to change the direction of her rotation from clockwise to counter clockwise then you are one of those rare individuals who use both side of their brain equally.

Left Brain:
Logical
Sequential
Rational
Analytical
Objective
Looks at parts

Right Brain:
Random
Intuitive
Holistic
Synthesizing
Subjective
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.

Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Left brains tend to choose careers in law, accounting or science.

Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics,feeling, and creativity.
Rights select careers as entrepreneurs, athletes, sales, artists, musicians, craftsmen or dancers.

Post a comment here and let me know how the test worked for you!

Good Luck,
Allen

I don't know that this test is accurate - as I consider myself very logical, reasonable and am almost fanatically sequential. But, the picture appears clockwise to me and I cannot ‘make’ it appear otherwise.

Interesting, because I've always thought I was left-brained, logical, reasonable, etc., and this girl is definitely going around clockwise.
But then, I am a writer, musician, and entrepreneur, which falls under the right-brained category.
Thanks for the post.

I am not sure that is very scientific..

i.e. I agree with the other 2 posters...

At first it was anti-clockwise (which is the way my brain works right enough).

Bu then it changed to clockwise - and there is no way that I am at all gifted or able to use both sides of my brain!

Funny, Me and my boss looked at the picture and we saw it two different ways. I saw the girl rotating clockwise while he saw her rotate counter-clockwise.

From the past tests that I made, I can say all of it shows I’m creative person.
Will it because I’m in accounting / logical field so my bran using is changing?

Sorry guys, but you are VERY funny. This is a test of nothing and the picture does not rotate.

It's a 2D picture; you can make it go either way if you focus right - but it only tests your imagination.

And the "information" about brain halves presented in this article is total gibberish. Amazing some people actually believe this.

Come to think of it... Maybe not. People believe in god too.

yay! I can use my right and left side of my brain equally! thanks!
