VOR and NDB intercepting questions

Hi all,
I am about to commence my instrument rating training soon and I am trying to fully understand the concept of how to intercept outbound and inbound track(NDB) and radial(VOR). Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect.
For example, (VOR)
I am on an outbound radial of 250 and I wish to intercept and inbound radial of 120 (300 from), this means that I have to turn right to intercept the 120 radial, I changed my heading to 040 to intercept, is this correct?
Example 2,
I am on an inbound radial of 100 and wish to intercept an outbound radial of 150, a left is required to intercept.
Example 3,
I am on inbound radial of 180 and wish to intercept inbound radial 160 (340 from), in this case a left turn is required?
I am just having a bit difficulty with visualizing in my head.
Cheers
