The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or counter-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning counter-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

I saw her going counter-clockwise until Mike tried to show me that she was going clockwise… then after staring at her long enough, she started going clockwise.. and then back.. and forth.. until I could almost MAKE her turn whichever way I wanted. Does that mean I use BOTH sides of my brain?  Why yes, I AM that smart* wink
