The brain is a mysterious and interesting organ that can do amazing things with reasoning, creativity, and intuition. But are you making the most of all that it can do? A simple test of your vision can tell you a lot about how you think and how smart you are.
Look more closely at the picture below. It’s abstract. Perhaps it seems like a simple spot at first, but take another look. What do you see? A hot air balloon or maybe a jellyfish? We need your answer to figure out how your brain works.
If you saw a hot air balloon, you probably think with your left brain. You use reasoning and analysis to solve problems and look at every detail. Your brain is set up to break down big chunks of information into smaller pieces that you can handle.
If you saw a jellyfish, on the other hand, your artistic right brain would take over. You use your instincts and visual cues to think outside the box. You may be better at art now, and you may have special skills for fixing problems.
Psychologists have been interested in this difference between the left and right brains for a long time. Different parts of the brain control different ways of thinking, which affects how we see and communicate with the world.
What did you see in the picture? Did it show a creative, intuitive spirit or a mind that is scientific and analytical? Use this chance to learn more about your mental world and figure out how your brain works.
Thinking about the ways you think can help you find your secret potential, which can lead to growth and self-discovery. Take advantage of the unique traits of your left or right brain to use your mind to its fullest.
