Are you Left or Right Brained? A fun exercise to do.

Which way does this lady look like she is turning –clockwise or anti-clockwise? 

If you said “clockwise”you are probably using your right brain.  If you said anti-clockwise,you are probably using your left brain.  You may even see both ways.

Experimentation has shown that the two different sides or hemispheres of
 the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following 
table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

Left Brain                    Right Brain 
Logical                          Random
Sequential                     Intuitive
Rational                         Holistic
Analytical                      Synthesizing
Objective                       Subjective
 

Looks at Parts                   Looks at wholes

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 downplayingthe 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. 

If you look away,she may switch from one direction to the other.  If you would like to be able to switch easily and use the whole brain,visit a Kinesiologist who can assist.
