The Right Brain vs Left Brain

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 :/

  2. Meryl says:

    How can you SEE it going any direction? It’s going clockwise – klaar :)

  3. Amanda says:

    Yup… definitely just going clockwise.

  4. Ivan says:

    Wrong!! I’m definately left brain centric and I cannot get her to turn anti-clockwise.

  5. JoeAverage says:

    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.

  6. 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 :(

  7. Shawne says:

    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.

  10. Mike says:

    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.

  11. Tax says:

    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.
