As we have discussed earlier about the functions of the right brain and the left brain. Here are a few tests to determine which side is more dominant for you.
Because our brains are organized differently, we all see and think differently and can get some very different results from various “brain tests”. These tests can be used to determine which side of our brain is more dominant. Usually a creative mind will see things differently from others. Here’s a famous test of creativity – have a look at the image below:

A non-creative left brain sees only an image of disconnected shapes without making much sense of the image, but the right brain can go beyond logic and find the connecting concept that makes sense of the shapes and creates an image. If you can’t “see” beyond the shapes, it’s because your left brain is trying to solve the problem and will not allow the right brain to make any sense of this image.
The picture is about a dog drinking from a stream, the dog is positioned in the center of the picture with its head in the middle facing down to the water and its tail pointed towards the right.
Here’s another example to show how your right brain works, it can even create things that don’t exist. If you can see the white triangle – the one with its apex pointing up – it’s because your right brain has created that triangle to unify what is otherwise simply a collection of angles and PacMan shapes. There is, in fact, no white triangle there.

WHAT IF ONE IS LEFT BRAINED ONLY
very helpful. we would like to see more such figures in this page.
Good info.
Aptly interesting. Awaiting many more for twisting exercise of brain !
good info
I really still cannot see the dog! I asked my 5 year old , who i think is very creative, to tell me what he saw in the picture, and he saw, “creatures, monsters, cats and ghost rabbits!”
Good questions
very useful information
it’s a very useful information 4 me
i wonder
Good one! I can see a girl’s face at the bottom of the picture. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for the very useful information.
Even i too can see a comodo walking in opposite direction to me. but in the next picture i could see the triangle.
good info
Very good information… I can also visualize the fox face image in the top staring at the dog…
Very helpful information.
Even we can see a big fat owl sitting above the dog.
In the first image I could visualise the dog only after i gone thro’ the narration. More of these things would amuse even children and develop a holistic view of a thing which require right equilibrium function of left and right bright in synergy.
In the first picture i saw a comodo dragon facing its head down in the stream, i failed to notice the dog even after reading the narration of the picture, in the second picture without even reading anything any body can see a white triangle. which is an illusion created by brain. There is proverb in kannada KAANAARE KANDARU PRAMANISI NODU.
Gud one, am in concurrence with Mr.Damodar Rao, wud be nice to have the proverb translated
A good one to read but to teach to childrens need such type of examples for students age of 5 or 6. If such thing also added then it would bw highly appreciated
