Historically according to the descriptions I think I've been left but apparently that's changed over the past 8-10 years. :mellow:

 
It would be interesting to know what people do for a living as well. I am in IT which would seem to fit a left brain fairly well. I would expect some of those on the right brain side to be in creative endeavors.

That works--managing facilities often calls for a lot of creativity!

Interesting.. I'm IT also.. My official title is Sr. SharePoint Administrator.. i.e. left brain..

But lately my role has developed more into a SharePoint Solutions Architect which has me meeting with Department mangers, directors, VP's and developing SharePoint solutions for their business processes. i.e. Right brain creativity..

Which could be why my test results were 50/50 :)

Right place to be right now. And I would think front end designers and such would show the right brain tendency.

 
84/16 Right... which is very strange, considering I'm a math major and crunch numbers for an IT company doing forecasts and such all day.

Do you feel fulfilled though?

Yah, I like what I do. I've always scored extremely high on the left side for most of these tests, so I was pretty surprised to see this one say I was "right brained" especially so far to the right.

It's really interesting, it almost shocks your brain when you see it the other way.

I see it clockwise naturally, the best way I've found to see the opposite direction is to look away from the image but keep it in your peripheral vision, then imagine it spinning the opposite way (it's a lot easier to make this shift when you aren't looking directly at it), then slowly move your gaze back to it keeping the new direction in mind.

It's easier to look off to the left using this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_Dancer

85% right. About the only creative thing I do is figure out new a exciting ways to make people getting divorced hate each other even more.

Oh, and I play the piano.

I can see it now - but as soon as I look at her bottom foot the clock-wise rotation returns for me.

I'm the exact opposite. I've even tried to trick myself into believing she is spinning clockwise but its just not there. To me its not even confusing, she's spinning counter clockwise.
