Left brain vs. right brain - instant test
An instant, elegant test to see if you are a left brain thinker or a right brain thinker
Forget naff multiple choice questions, this little animation on news.com.au’s Perth Now site is immediate, fascinating and doubtless driving lots of traffic as friends and colleagues share the link (thanks Nina!).
Look at the dancer first, then read the explanation and you’ll know what side of the brain you favour.
I’m more of a visual thinker, so no surprise to see the dancer turning clockwise. That is, until I noticed the article had a list of qualities for each side.
Some of the items listed are not that clear. Out of habit, I started to edit the list in my head and think about how it might have been better expressed, and as slipped into ‘editor mode’ I noticed the dancer now appeared to be turning anti-clockwise.
Hello left brain, so you exist after all!. Well, nice to meet you.

Same here. Initially it was clockwise and try as I might, couldn’t ‘reverse it”. However on reading the “left side” list, the dancer started to go the other way. So is it merely an optical illusion?
