Has Mac OS desktop been designed by a right-brain guy?
June 2nd, 2008
Have you ever heard about that right-brain vs left-brain thing? To make it short, right-brain people are more creative whereas left-brain are more logical.

- Left-brain: logical, sequential, rational, analytical, objective, technicalities, numbers, data, facts, precision
- Right-brain: creative, random, intuitive, subjective, synthesizing, challenge, risk, new ideas, imagination
I wonder if it could explain the fact that icons on the Windows desktop are on the left whereas they’re on the right on Mac OS.
Mac users are usually known to be more creative than PC guys. This has been emphasized in the recent Get a Mac ads.
So here’s a little test for you. If you see the girl rotating clockwise, you’re right-brained, otherwise you’re left-brained.
I’m definitely right-brained, as I see the girl moving clockwise. How about you?
