The test might have been taken off the web site by now because the result of all those who took it was given in the programme last night. Pity it took so long for my post to get through to Arachne. The original was sent at around 9 am yesterday morning, but hadn't appeared on my computer by 6

I have not a clue how you make the figure look as if it is going anti-clockwise. I am the most right-handed of people, and should therefore be left-brained! Logic was my specialty in gaining my MA in mathematics, and I am VERY detail oriented. I don't think I fit this page very well Sue

Well that was just downright weird! It kept changing as I would look at it. Thanks for sharing the link. I am going to forward it to my artsy friends. In other right/left brain tests I score around 70 - 75 % right brained. My husband on the other hand, scores 98% left brained. When I

I could only see it going clock wise, but did not agree with their lists. I found more on the left brain list that fit me. Maybe I am more like my daughter who as a child did not have a dominate side in her brain, she is (and always was) definitely left handed. Boy did she have trouble in

This popped up on on of the lefty blogs I read (it's not serious politics all the time, y'know g). Interesting... From the way I see the figure moving (and I ain't tellin' and spoiling your own test), it means I'm right-brain dominant. Not detail-oriented, among other things (though,
