The Right Brain vs Left Brain test



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.

detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science

reality based
forms strategies
practical

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling

philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

I only see her spinning clockwise. The only way I could see her spinning counter-clockwise is if I look at her from below.

Cause she IS spinning clockwise

Is that a statement or a question my love ?. I see her spinning clockwise and cannot see how you could see otherwise. Though won't dispute the possibility. An interesting post and illusion if it is one.

Teri B.

I don't understand how anyone could see it spinning counterclockwise. Is that the trick? The term anti-clockwise? What does that even mean?

Anticlockwise is just the international English (British English) equivalent of "counterclockwise". The article was hosted on an Aussie site.

As far as seeing the woman spin anti/counter-clockwise, try looking at her reflection in the floor rather than the woman herself. I'm not sure what this has to do with left/right brain. I've seen this image before, and I think everyone initially sees her spinning clockwise because of her pose. However, the reflection clearly reveals her to be spinning counter-clockwise.

Teri B.

You're right Kana! If you, say twirl your finger in the direction she's spinning while watching her, you'll realize she is spinning counter-clockwise. Very odd. I wonder if the basis of the test has to do with realizing that. Cause you're right it's the pose that makes it seem as if she's spinning clockwise. But then if you look at just her foot on the floor and spin your finger with that, it's clockwise.

I so confused . . .

Teri, I think it has something to do with her shadow. My perception of her direction changes from clockwise to counter-clockwise when I focus on the shadow, but for me, she's spinning clockwise....


I have a headache!

Teri B.

You know, this thing is PISSING ME OFF too! It will change direction if I think about it too hard.

I'm not looking at it anymore - leave me alone weird spinning naked woman!

....

PS - I guess we'll be spending a little more time here, eh? At least for the time being
