Your Personal Dancer.

Which direction is the dancer turning? Clockwise or counter-clockwise?



It’s actually possible to see the dancer turning both ways! YES! Believe it!

If the dancer is turning clockwise for you, then that means that you are more of a right-brained person. If she’s dancing counter-clockwise, then you’re more of a person who uses the left side of their brain more often.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past

can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception

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

It is possible to switch between your hemispheres by refocusing on the dancer! Try looking at some other object and then coming back to the picture above. Remember to keep an open mind to all possibilities. It sometimes helps to watch the legs of the dancer. That’s how I do it.

I’m not sure if it’s been tested, but try talking, listening, or writing and then see if the dancer is turning counter-clockwise. Listening, writing, or speaking, or analyzing things by detail are all functions that are supported by the left hemisphere of our brains.

Then, see if the dancer turns clockwise after understanding and remembering things that you did or have seen in the past. Understanding, remembering, or looking at the big picture of things are functions that are supported by the right hemisphere of our brains.

So, what direction did you first see her dancing? Are you right-minded or left-brained? ;)
