Right brain or Left brain?

Which one are you?

If you see the dancer turning clockwise, then you probably use more of the right side of the brain. Similarly, anti-clockwise, and you're more likely to use the left-side.

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

BEWARE: this may permanently re-wire your brain! I first saw the dancer spinning anti-clockwise, but have since been able to see her spinning both ways.

So, Yang Berbahagia, I hope you've learnt something new today =)
