Left or Right?

From The D-Ring, via Mike (if the image isn't spinning, do the click-for-larger thing):

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

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

Well, now. I absolutely, positively could not get the dancer to twirl counter-clockwise. Which, of course, leaves me wondering “what does this mean?” Am I that much of a right-brained sorta guy? It’s very apparent to me which sort of person I am, simply by looking at the list of qualities associated with each type. And that is something of a paradox yet again, since I was pretty danged successful in my post-USAF field (the IT biz), which just might be the ultimate “left brain” sort of environment. Ah, but then again…I was a writer-cum-manager, not a techie. And we all know about “management,” nu?
