If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Some research says that most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.


LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS-----RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

uses logic-------------------uses feeling
detail oriented--------------"big picture" oriented
facts rule--------------------imagination rules
words and language---------symbols and images
present and past------------present and future
math and science-----------philosophy & religion
can comprehend------------can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
knowing---------------------believes
acknowledges---------------appreciates
order/pattern perception---spatial perception
knows object name---------knows object function
reality based----------------fantasy based
forms strategies-------------presents possibilities
practical---------------------impetuous
safe--------------------------risk taking

I saw this test, and after looking at it for a while, I could willingly cause the dancer to switch directions. I guess that means I'm ambi-brained. Just something to think about.

I also heard that you can tell if you're right- or left-brain oriented by clasping your hands together. If the left thumb overlaps your right thumb, you would be more right-brained and if your right thumb overlapped your left thumb, you would be more left brain oriented; probably, not too scientific.
I must be very left-brained! I cant make it turn the clockwise. But the chart isn't so indicative of me.
