Thank you all for your feedback, it's interesting too see that most of you are neutral or right sided.
Daniel and Hefty have the lady under complete controll it seems
Father Ted, might it be you use creative solution to solve math problems?
The test is also an actual test so you might see her turn the other way when well rested or listening to music or something like that.
This is the trick behind the lady link
more little test are:
clasp your hands in front of you, interlocking your fingers (just like you're praying).
Which thumb is on top?
RIGHT BRAINED people tend to have their LEFT THUMB on top.
LEFT BRAINED people tend to have their RIGHT THUMB on top.
This has to do that your left side of your body is controlled by your right brain and vice versa, it has propable also have somthing to do with which way the lady is turning.
How do you hold a pen?

A & C = Tend to be LEFT brained
B & D = Tend to be RIGHT brained
Which way is the woman facing?

Well I'm really right brained so left thumb on top, I hold my pen like shown under D and I'm extrovert.
What use this all has I really have no idea it's just fun to know.
Although like I said earlier, I'm curious about what kind of photos you make.
Most of you don't have a lot in your gallery you know, including me
What I do notice is that righties (Alan, Daniel, Hefty & me) do macro photography and lefties (Father Ted, Stephen & Ralf) don't.
Can someone disprove that macro photography is done mostly by right brained persons?
Richard don't worry my brain noise dives aswell but sometimes I make some pretty photos during the fall.
Simply post some photos here, I'm sure you get some constructive comment about them and some photos you think arent that great might actually be very good according to most of the watchers (happends to my often).
EDIT added names under the lefties side

65% left and the dancer turns both ways (but I cannot control which way she turns).

Both of those example re-inforce the left brain for me. I clapsed my hands before reading the solution and was right thumb on top.
I hold my pen as in pic C.
The lady...weird one that. I immediately thought she was facing me, thensub-conciously, started to analyse it and thought she could be facing away, then convinced myself she was facing away...all in about 2 seconds
Let's face it...I'm just a mixed up kinda guy!
One other point. I use my left eye for the viewfinder, but shoot ( bow and arrow ) right eyed.
Oh, and macro photography doesn't tickle my interest at all. I wanted to try the sort of vistas that Simonkit is so good at....but I'm not ...yet

I had somthing similar but decided that my first intuition was the best so sticked with it. This also proves you're a left brained because you followed your logic and not your intuition.The lady...weird one that.

Left eye is conected to your right brain and vice versa so I've no idea if this has something to do with it. You propable hold the bow in your left hand and the arrow in your right so the arrow is closets to your right eye and that might be easier to aim I think.
Thank you for comfirming that macro thing, it should be funny that it might be actually true

The quiz comes out 65% left brained, but I had the left thumb up (i.e. right brained) (though I hold the pen like A (left brained)).
I think holding a PhD in physics would indicate right brained?
That does leave me in the middle somehow.
I suspected for a long time that I'm mainly running on the spinal cord, though. And that runs down the middle, doesn't it?

Me too - 40/60 and I can get the dancer to go both ways.I'm 40% left and 60% right - and I can turn the dancer either way so I guess I'm pretty neutral...
Edit - and I'm an extrovert, but then I could have told you that!

Of course, you are right, I mean you are correct. Seems that I was even more confused than you.Wasn't left brained the maths / physics / logical side?

75% R, 25% L, I saw the dancer turning clockwise but I'm not sure about the relevance of the test since dancers do pirouette in a clockwise direction anyway

yes you have disproven the macro thing Prieni, but still you are a minority so we just move you in the box of exception so that the theory still counts
How/what do you think about when composing a photo and if you look at your photos do you have many that looks the same regarding technique and the way the compisition is and such?

Not sure how I'm wrong Stefan. My point is that if you understand dance and dancers you will be predisposed to seeing a clockwise motion no matter what.

Good Tests,
I was 65% Left, 35% Right, and women say we only use oneside of how brains, thats what her indoors keeps telling me anyway.

ah right, sorry Ken readed your comment just a bit too fastNot sure how I'm wrong Stefan. My point is that if you understand dance and dancers you will be predisposed to seeing a clockwise motion no matter what.
Well looks like macro isn't mostly a right brained thing since Terry has some good macros aswell I see, ah well it was fun
