Which Brain Have You Used Today?

So, you think you're creative. Come on, there's no use being modest. Everybody does. And, really, in some way, shape, or form, everybody is.

The question is, to what extent? To find out, just take a quick look at the spinning lady below. 

If you see her spinning clockwise, you're a right-brained creative-type. If she's spinning counterclockwise, you're a logic-driven left-brainer. If you just see a naked lady dancing around in circles, you have a one-track mind. 

For what it's worth, the majority can only see her spinning counterclockwise, and, supposedly, only 15% of people can get her going both directions.

As for me, I see her spinning clockwise. Wait, now she's counterclockwise. And now we're back to clockwise.
