Right brained ? or left brained?



Just recently, i was surfing the net as usual , and i received a rather interesting mail.It is a test,well sort of. A test to determine whether you use your left brain or your right brain. At first , i was quite sceptical as i thought " what the heck? how could a simple picture determine whether or not you are using your right or left brain?" but after i did a little research in the net and try it for myself ,wow it was indeed true.This test does work.Now,try it for yourself and see whether the the girl in the image above turns clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Alright,for the rest of the post , i shall just copy and paste it here from the email.

See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting
the brain's current.


BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN
.

Experimentation has shown that the two different sides or hemispheres of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

Left Brain Right Brain


Logical Random
Sequential Intuitive
Rational Holistic
Analytical Synthesizing
Objective Subjective

Looks at Looks at
Parts wholes

Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain activities. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

If you look away, she may switch from one direction to the other.


How Right-Brain vs. Left-Brain Thinking Impacts Learning
Curriculum--In order to be more "whole-brained" in their orientation, schools need to give equal weight to the arts, creativity, and the skills of imagination and synthesis.

Instruction--To foster a more whole-brained scholastic experience, teachers should use instruction techniques that connect with both sides of the brain. They can increase their classroom's right-brain learning activities by incorporating more patterning, metaphors, analogies, role playing, visuals, and movement into their reading, calculation, and analytical activities.

Assessment--For a more accurate whole-brained evaluation of student learning, educators must develop new forms of assessment that honor right-brained talents and skills."


Alright,thats about it,now back to me.Well, it is amazing if u ask me .This thing really doest test if you are using your right or left brain but the best thing of all is, it gives u the chance to train your brain.Try and see whether you can make her spin clockwise or anti-clockwise by will. I am particularly using right brain in general but i did able to make her turn anti-clockwise ^^. Try it!

P.s the pic was "stolen from here
