Right Brain ~ Left Brain
Written by Margo Maguire in Jaunty PostAre you a right brain person, or does the left side of your brain dominate?
The left side controls such things as logic, language, math and science, order and patterns, strategies. It’s the detail-oriented side of your brain.
The right side is more involved with spacial perceptions, fantasies and possibilities. It uses feelings and allows for impetuous behavior.
If you look at the silhouette below, it appears to be rotating one way. If it rotates clockwise, it’s an indication that you’re using more of your right brain. Counter-clockwise shows you’re more of a left-brain person. But you can make it switch. Try it by concentrating on the picture for a minute.

It kept changing for me Margo so does that mean I use both sides of my brain
Have Fun
Helen
Margo Maguire Says:
I think maybe it does, Helen!
Shana Says:
I’m right-brained. I can’t get it to change directions unless I’m reading and watching it. I read that’s because we use the left side of our brain to read.

I guess I use both too because it switches a lot for me and that does fit me - I’m artistic but also am good with the written word.
Rainy Says:
I don’t know. I stared and stared and she only went counter clockwise and that’s a surprise to me because math and logic are not my strong points!
Linda Says:
I must not use the left side of my brain at all
I couldn’t get it to change and go counter clockwise.
No surpise there for me. I’m always finding my head in the clouds.

Hi Ladies,
This was very cool, Margo. I mostly see the woman spinning clockwise, but if I stared at the foot it would start to turn in the other direction for a few turns. Then as soon as I looked up at the body, it went back to spinning clockwise again. Weird! Btw, I’m left handed so I wonder if that matters. I have a cute novelty cup that my sister gave me a couple of years ago with the saying “Left handed people… are the only people in their right minds” on it. What you said about the traits associated with a dominant right side of the brain reminded me of that. I luv me some HOT fantasies!!!
Are you left handed Shana??? Seems to me the fantasy thing would work well for a romance writer!
Hope you all have a
Happy Thanksgiving,
Irene

I’m right handed and when I first looked at it, it was going counter-clockwise, but it changed back and forth a few times. Then it only went clockwise for a lengthy bit. When I was trying to read, it would go counter, but it kept switching between the sentences I read. I guess I use both.
That’s really cool!

When I first looked at it, she was going counter-clockwise and then went back and forth. I must use both sides as well! Very cool, Margo!
