Do you see the dancer spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you are using the right side of your brain.
If counter-clockwise, then you are using the left side of your brain.
I have no idea about the scientific validity of this test, but it is true that people see it differently. I’m curious to know if you think it is accurate — please leave a comment.
Generally speaking, left brain thinkers are more objective, analytical, and logical. Right-brain thinkers tend to be more perceptive, empathetic, and imaginative.
Knowing your personality preferences is one of the key aspects of developing self-awareness. One of the best tools I am aware of for discovering and understanding your preferences is the CORE MAP.

Scientific validity? The test invalidates itself in that the figure changes back and forth from spinning in one direction to the other. Just watch it for awhile. Now, if it were spinning constantly in one direction, simple observation would reveal in which direction. As for clockwise or counterclockwise, it all depends on the observer’s physical position. Everything spins on an axis, which can be viewed from either pole. In this case it would be from above or below. If we look at the figure from the top, it is spinning one way. From the bottom, it would be the opposite. Bottom line- this example is a silly “test.”
