Left V/S Right Brain

Quick, what direction does the below picture seem to be spinning? clockwise or counterclockwise?

brain test

Apparently this is a pretty accurate test of which side of your brain is more predominant?

First of all, here are the main characteristics of left brained people and right brained people.

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
maths 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

So which do you think you are?

Anyways, if it’s clockwise, it’s supposed to be right minded, and anticlockwise is left minded. Some people can change between the two.

Mine was clockwise all the way. Tell me something I don’t know \m/
