The Right Brain vs Left Brain test … do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

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

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.

    There appears to be universal agreement with the Left Brain (Logical), Right Brain (Holistic) definitions.

    I question the definition of rotation; that clockwise means Right Brain and that most people will see the dance counter-clockwise. So most people are logical???
