Right-Brained-edness

I did a few tests online to figure out whether I am right-brained or left-brained (clearly, I have time). I rarely believe in these tests but somehow I believe this one. I went to this link, The Right Brain vs Left Brain test, and stared a long time at the dancing girl. I see her going clockwise. It says that if you stare long enough and concentrate hard, she will go anti clockwise. I tried and tried, but she is still going clockwise – I dont understand how you can just turn this on or off depending on how hard or long you concentrate.

From the link above, here are the differences between left- and right-brained people:

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

Another test rendered the following:

You Are 35% Left Brained, 65% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you’re left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you’re right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?
