Are you a left or right brain person?

I have seen this before, but thought it was worth posting here, in case YOU haven't seen it.

Look at the rotating image... Is it spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise? (Creativity comes from the Right side of the brain)


*If you look hard enough, apparently you can see it spin the other direction. No matter how hard I try, I can only see one way!*

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

detail oriented

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

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

Pretty interesting...it switches between the two for me--I must be well balanced.

Its clockwise for my wife and I, but does that mean we're right brain or left thinkers?

I'm seriously getting dizzy trying to see it go the opposite way! It only spins clockwise for me.
