Spinning Lady Right & Left Brain Test
Are You Left or Right Brain Predominant?
Look at the picture below for about 30 seconds and have a think about what you see. Then read below to evaluate the results of what you saw and find out if you are left or right brain orientated.
If you see the lady turning clockwise you are using your right brain
If you see the lady turning anti-clockwise 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. If you look away, she may switch from one direction to the other. We find that if you just look at her feet or relax and look at the floor where the reflection shows, she will switch direction!
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking.
Differences Between the Left & Right Brain
| Left Brain | Right Brain |
| Logical | Intuitive |
| Sequential | Random |
| Analytical | Holistic |
| Rational | Synthesizing |
| Objective | Subjective |
| Looks at part | Looks at whole |
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 activities.
Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy.
Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.
Additional Information
There is a lot of research showing meditation, hypnosis and brainwave entrainment audios can help create unity between the left and right sides of your brain. This can be quite useful to 'exercise your mind' so to speak. Promoting unity of thought can help create more clarity in your decision making processes. This means you will neither 'over-think' about things too much with your left brain - or - be 'too creative' with decisions that require logical analysis with your right brain.
