Are You Left-Brained or Right-Brained?

[wraith1701]

Some friends brought this test to my attention-



If you see the dancer spinning counter-clockwise, it is supposed to mean that you primarily use the left half of your brain.

If you see her spinning clockwise, it is supposed to mean that you mostly use your right brain.

The majority of people are supposedly left-brained.  How about you?

I'm right brained.  She appears to be spinning clockwise to me.  I'm also left handed so that probably explains that.

That's a hard one. I saw it going one way and blinked only to see it reverse itself. I am mostly right brained, I guess

[Bryancd]

Clockwise for me too. And based on their description of Right Brained people, sounds a lot like me!

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

[Rico]

Oh geez that's weird, she keeps flipping back and forth for me now.  I'm a bit ambidextrous so maybe that's why.  Very cool thing.

She was Spinning clockwise for me as well, and from what Bryan posted of the description, sounds a lot like me to.

Trying to make it spin-counter clockwise is giving me a migraine.

[Geekyfanboy]

Yeah that bizarre.. she was spinning counter clockwise when I looked at it first then I read a little more and looked back up and then she was spinning clockwise.... now that is all I see... I just went back and unfocused my eyes and refocused and got her to spin the other way.. very weird.

She's spinning clockwise. I'm an artist, so I'm right brained dominant but I know I am a blend of both. I'm pretty organized and goals oriented which is a left brain trait.

I trained as a painter in college—that was my specialization. Though I also studied graphic design, and I ended up a designer.  In college, my professors told me I was "very academic in my approach" to painting, which was probably my analytical side coming through.

We worked on accessing the left side the brain by turning our drawings upside down... it's amazing what you see when you do that. You can correct many mistakes that way.

Here's another test for artists to determine whether they are left or right brain dominant.I think you can substitute paintbrushes and art studio for office and other tools. I scored is 65% right brained.

Wow, thats freaky.  Seems to be going counter clock-wise.  What are the descriptions for ppl who are left-brained?

[KingIsaacLinksr]

That survey says I'm 55% right-brained.  So I'm in the middle, yet I see the woman spin left-brained.  Kinda odd....

You're basically a Vulcan if you're left brained and I see several traits here that are me...but not many. I prefer writing to speaking for one thing. And I like to plan things out.

    *  Responds to verbal instructions
    * Problem solves by logically and sequentially looking at the parts of things
    * Looks at differences
    * Is planned and structured
    * Prefers established, certain information
    * Prefers talking and writing
    * Prefers multiple choice tests
    * Controls feelings
    * Prefers ranked authority structures

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Ok, now I can make her go both ways if I look at her correctly.  Its incredibly weird.  So I guess I'm both as the test says.

That answer was the right-brain choice.

You answered 19 items out of 20 as right brained.

Your score is 95%. Your right brain is extremely dominant

Then I took that test and got this:

The Results Are In! You can use these results to help you identify the best ways for you to study effectively. Be sure to find more ways to evaluate your own personality and study skills. It will pay off!


You are a left brain dominant student!

You probably like some order in your life and in the classroom. You are comfortable listening to lectures and taking most test types, but you might be uncomfortable with open-ended essay assignments that require you to imagine scenarios. You want class directions to be clear. A disorganized teacher or unclear assignments will drive you crazy! You are good at analyzing problems to find the right answer. You may have considered pursuing a degree in science or math. You don't like mushy love movies. You might be a Jeopardy champ one day, not because you're smarter than right brain students, but because you are able to answer questions quickly.
