The Right Brain vs Left Brain test … do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
| LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe |
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling “big picture” oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can “get it” (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking |
Drop me a comment on what you see, i know a friend of mine can ONLY see the dancer going clockwise, yet his partner can swop at will with myself … how do you do ?
ERM> OK!? How on earth do you see that thing going anti-clockwise? I mean. IM NOT ISANE!!!!!
I don’t know if you are right with the lists though. Cuz I am good at both. Except maths :/
How can you SEE it going any direction? It’s going clockwise – klaar :)
Yup… definitely just going clockwise.
Wrong!! I’m definately left brain centric and I cannot get her to turn anti-clockwise.
This is really cool. If I focus directly on the pic, she turns anti-clockwise. If I focus elswhere and she is in the periphery of my vision she turns clockwise.
I can only see it anti-clockwise and I’m irritated because it is frustrating me in my inability to chang direction at the moment.
That and I should be working :(
goes both ways for me, just depends on how much i focus on it.
Very interesting :D
started off anti-clockwise, then swapped to clockwise now can’t go back!
At first I thought it was a programming trick and not completely convinced that it isn’t. If I focus on the shadow of the foot, it ALWAYS go across the window from right to left.
If focus on the foot shadow, I can “make” it change directions. If I look at the image, it seems to switch directions randomly.
I saw it at first as counter-clockwise. To make it change to clockwise, I first focused on a leg and said outloud “back… front… back…. front” as it swung around; then I reversed the direction of spin by reversing the order of the words: “front… back… front… back”. That is, when the leg was in the back while the dancer was spinning counter-clockwise, I simply said outloud that the leg was in front, etc. After a couple of spins, the dancer started spinning clockwise.
I had to use the same trick to make her go back to counter-clockwise — it wouldn’t change back automatically.
I know I keep telling myself that I am insane but this is ridiculous. She started moving anti-clockwise then she moved clockwise as soon as I read the qualities of the left and right sided individuals.
And after I sent the link to a friend and she changed direction again and started moving anti-clockwise.
I guess this is the proof that I am losing it.
