Is Your Brain Soaring or Swimming?

A new viral image is stirring curiosity, suggesting that what you see first could reveal something about your cognitive style.

Hot Air Balloon or Jellyfish? If you see a hot air balloon, “you might be more left-brained.” This suggests you’re logical, analytical, and detail-oriented. On the other hand, seeing a jellyfish might indicate you’re “more right-brained,” linked to creativity and intuition.

The Brain’s Divide The left-brain vs. right-brain theory is popular, but “the idea that people are strictly left-brained or right-brained is more myth than fact.” Both hemispheres of the brain work together on most tasks.

What Do You See? So, what do you see? A hot air balloon soaring or a jellyfish drifting? Your answer might just reveal how you perceive the world.
