Right brain or left brain?

Are you right brain or left brain dominant?
Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?


If you see her rotating clockwise, you are right brain dominant
- and vice versa.

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

Most of us tend to be either left or right brain dominant: that is, we naturally tend to favour the use of one side of the brain to the other.

Decide whether you are left or right brain dominant by seeing which way the dancer rotates - clockwise, or anti-clockwise.

Now really concentrate your mind and see if you change your automatic preference for left or right brain dominance, and make the dancer rotate in the opposite direction!
