Right vs Left

No, this is not about politics...lol

I recently stumbled onto an old and rather simple aptitude test I took in high school. Clearly, it's not that intense of a test but it can be a useful tool in identifying how your brain works. The brain will 'process' the rotations of this young lady below as either clockwise or counter-clockswise. Some people possess certain aspects of both the left and right side dominated brain and can view her both ways simply by looking away and returning seconds later. For others it changes based on the frame of mind (ie fresh out of a math/science lecture vs recently participating in a vigorous exchange of ideas over some Shakespearean piece). Theoretically, those that can view both directions are equally as effective in their daily activities regardless of the sphere necessary to complete the task. Great for well-roundedness, but can provide a rather "tangling" sense of being/existence when it comes to making certain decisions, even easy ones.
