What side of the brain does a gardener use?
According to news.com.au, you can work out a bit of your personality by the side of the brain you use.
We all know that gardeners, especially landscape gardeners, are exceptionally creative people. But what side of the brain does a creative gardener use? Check out this little fun experiment - feel free to leave a comment.
The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic, detail oriented, facts rule, words and language, present and past, math and science, can comprehend, knowing, acknowledges, order/pattern perception, knows object name, reality based, forms, strategies, practical, safe
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling, big picture" oriented, imagination rules, symbols and images, present and future, philosophy & religion, can "get it" (i.e. meaning), believes, appreciates, spatial perception, knows object function, fantasy based, presents possibilities, impetuous, risk taking.
I have managed to get the image to spin both ways now but initially, I saw the image rotate clockwise.
What about you - if you leave a comment, it would be interesting to know if there is any difference of brain use by profession. i.e. does a tree surgeon use the left side and a gardener the right side? Does a landscaper use to the same side of the brain as a garden designer (this would be a contentious question)?
