Which way is the dancer spinning? clockwise or counter-clockwise? Most people will see her turning counter-clockwise, which apparently means you?re more left brained (logical). I see her spinning that way, and it?s at first almost impossible to imagine her going clockwise. But it happens, usually by focusing or when something unexpectedly alters your perception.  Here?s the typical run down on left versus right brain: 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 Many people associate the right brain with creativity and lateral thinking, and there?s certainly something to that. Our left brains create structures that can act as barriers to alternative solutions and perspectives. But your left brain plays a crucial role in creativity as well. Seeing logical associations between seemingly unrelated things is a hallmark of creativity. And the critical-thinking skills necessary to tell a good idea from a bad one are pretty important too. So? tell us which way your dancer spins for you in the comments. And weigh in with your opinion about the right brain versus left brain for creativity? isn?t it a really a ?whole mind? thing?
