Right Brain vs Left Brain

I’ve posted this / talked about this before, but every time I see this I am amazed because it really is testament that some people are naturally detail and fact oriented whereas others are creative and big picture oriented.

Right Brain or Left Brain

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

If clockwise, then you may use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. Note: This is only a very rough generalization.

*LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS*

*RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS*

imagination rules

symbols and images

philosophy & religion

can “get it” (i.e. meaning)

appreciates

spatial perception

knows object function
