Right Brain Versus Left Brain Test - Spinning Girl - IQ Test

There is a test many people enjoy doing to test which side of their brain they are using. The question is do you see her turning clockwise or anti-clockwise, or can you make her go left and right.

If you see her spinning clockwise you are using the right side of your brain and if you see her spinning anti-clockwise you are using the left side. The left side of your brain is the analytical mind, the right side the emotional, artistic mind.

If you see her spin both ways - at different times of course -you are, lets say in the elite group. Do not be concerned if you can’t. I know there will be a lot of delightful squeals when you can get her to change direction on ‘command.’

I received this in an email and thought I would share it with you as we all had fun doing the test and I therefore assume that half the world will have it in their possession and that I will not be infringing on any copyright laws. If I am a simple request will  have me remove it.

Do You Want To Increase Your Brain Power?

I think we all would want to increase our brain power. If you are one of those people who want to think better, your brain power boost might be just a few steps away. Here are seven tips that might help you in your quest to keep your brain working perfectly.

• Engage yourself in regular exercise

Do simple exercises like a simple walk or jog. It may not be as intense as a full-blown work-out. You just have to keep your body physically fit and active.

Simple work-outs may trigger the release of neurochemicals known as endorphins. These chemicals are responsible for making us feel happy and by feeling happier, a more positive effect on the brain can be observed.

• Supplement your Diet

Natural supplements are believed to have a good effect on the brain. These supplements not only keep your body healthier, they also maintain the fitness of your brain; thus resulting to better brain power! These supplements are so popular that they can be found anywhere, from your local health and food store up to the web pages of the internet.

• Use your Brain

If you are to exercise your body, you should exercise your brain as well. Use your brain muscles more often – think and learn. You may read, talk with other people or even play educational games. Any activity that can keep your brain working effectively may be tried out.

• Play Games

Choose games that will definitely have a good effect on your brain. I personally prefer games such as ‘Scrabble’ or ‘Chess’ but nowadays, most computer games are designed to exercise your brain. Gaming consoles are also following the fad into increasing brain function. So, do your part in boosting your brain power, play games that will increase your brain power.

• Enjoy an educational hobby

Choose a hobby that will give you some lessons at the end of the activity. This will not be such a difficult task since most of the time, we learn something from our experiences. Just be sure to do things that are not monotonous. Your hobby should be something that will help you learn new things every time you perform it. This way, you will be able to use some parts of your brain which are left unused before.

• Sleep Well

Sleeping is the time when your body rebuilds and recharges itself. Most professionals believe that you should sleep for at least six to eight hours a day. Aside from these hours, you should also try to take ten-minute power naps. After these refreshing sleeps and naps, you will surely feel energized to take on more activities for the day. Do not deprive yourself of sleep, and you will then realize that your brain will function better with more hours of sleep.

• Relax

Because of the complexities of our society today, your brain is exhausted just as much as your body. Thus, you should take the time to relax and cleanse your mind of the worries and stresses that might overwhelm your thoughts. You may want to try on spas or meditations to give your mind a break from all the hassle. After the relaxation, you will feel that you are prepared to take on another complex day! This is how you make better your brain’s health and performance.
