I found something very interesting to comment on and to discuss among all of us.
Hereby is a picture of a dancing lady turning.
Here is the question, is the dancing lady turning to the clockwise or anti-clockwise?
~Click on the picture if you cant see the movement~
Prevently, we can see the dancing lady turning anti-clockwise. That means we use our right brain.
Right brain of the brain focuses on the visual, and processes information in an intuitive and simultaneous way, looking first at the whole picture then the details.
Vice versa, if we can see the dancing lady turning clockwise. That means we use our left brain.
The focus of the left brain is verbal, processing information in an analytical and sequential way, looking first at the pieces then putting them together to get the whole.
Here is the list of what our left and right brain's functions.

Want to know which part of the brain u're using more? Try it here!
Write whether it was a L or an R. Count up the number of L's and R's. Whichever number is higher represents your dominance. If the numbers are close, that means you use both sides of your brain equally.
