Left brainer or right brainer?? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

So I recently watched a video, you can search it on Youtube, the name is The Right Brain vs Left Brain test - Optical Illusion (I'm not sure if I can paste a link because I'm too lazy to read the rule, and from my previous experiences with some forums, I know link to certain websites are forbade). No matter how long I look replay the vid I can't see how ppl say the dancer is turning counter clockwise, and I must be a right-brainer to see it. I showed it to my sister, and after 3 sec she replied "counter clock-wise". If you ladies ever wonder if you are a left/right brainer I think it's a quick test to determine, not sure if I can totally trust it, but it worth a try, right

. So how many of you answer counter-clockwise/clockwise?

if you go here: http://frank.mtsu.edu/~studskl/hd/he...dominance.html you can take a little quiz on whether you're left brain or right brain dominant. the link is from Middle Tennessee State University.

the left brain is categorized as:
- language, logic, critical thinking, numbers, reasoning, etc.

the right brain is categorized as:
- expressing emotions, music, color, images, creativity, etc.

i'm wholeheartedly a left brainer, but i also have some right brain attributes.

for example, i'm good with numbers. give me any formula, any variables, and i can find you a solution to any given problem. i have that straight-line thinking of getting from point A to B, whereas a right brainer may need to be shown through examples and images how to get there.

but i also enjoy things such as music and i've inherited a creative streak from my mother who's an artist, though i don't enjoy those things as much as i do working with foreign languages or numbers (creativity is more like a hobby to me).

I had an inkling, but I took the test that Ciao link, and I was right. I am mostly right brained, with a little left thrown in.

I saw the dancer turn clockwise, which apparently is right brained, but the quiz said i was mostly left-brained.

@Ciao: I took a similar test before the test u mentioned, turned out I'm still using my right brain more than my left brain. to be most certain I took your test, still right brain. Isn't it amazing how our brain perceive things differently?
But now that I think about it, I learn mostly from the example given to me, I was never good with math but if you just give me the graph then I'm good, and my desk is always a mess
@kelly: It's weird, right? one subject, two totally different interpretation. If they did not mention the direction I would never imagine that someone else can see the figure turns counter clockwise.

I saw it like 4 times and it freak me out! Haha I could see it moving both ways. Then I asked my husband which way he saw it and he said "counter clock" when I was clearly seeing it clock wise. Very creepy

I'm a mix of both, I love science and logic, but I'm also an artist. Funny how these things work out

I'm a no-brainer

Actually on the test I scored 10-9.

10 right, 9 left. I was uncertain on quite a few of the questions.

If I am in my own time zone, I always know what time it is. I am curious about why this is.

Left 14, right 5. I think I'm a left-brainer with some impulse control issues.

Quote:
You responded as a right brained person to 10 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 9 questions. You seemed to be comfortable using strategies for both sides for the brain. Your preference may be situational and apparent mainly when stress in a factor. This does not necessarily mean that you are ambidextrous. However, you are on your way to becoming whole brained and will benefit from using study strategies useful for both sides of the brain. When you read the descriptions, look for new strategies to try. However, your learning style probably has components from both sides. Some of the traits associated with the left and right side of the brain are listed in the table. Not all of the traits will apply to you.

Very interesting! I never quite knew which "side" I favored, so it makes sense I'm almost equally both halves

I took the test that Ciao linked. I scored similar to gailr42 & LielaJay. 9 right & 10 left. Maybe that is why I'm not really good a math nor arts. I can play & read music, I can balance books, but please don't ask me to draw or do complex math problems. Hmmmmmm...

@ADL:Yup, Ive seen it already. Just a few white line added and I can see her moving both way. So weird.
@MrsTryingagain: But it's cool to maintain a balance, you know, plus not all of us could do math @@
@Leila: haha, I lol at that
