Look at the following picture.

 

Is she spinning Clockwise or Counter-Clockwise?

 

Does she change direction on her own?

 

Can you make her change direction by changing your perspective?

 

 

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

I've stared a hole through that lady and she's going counter clockwise...

I usually see her turning clockwise. But if I look to the left of the picture and focus away from it, and if I imagine her turning the other way then she will start turning the other way. Usually right when her legs cross each other is when she changes direction for me. Then I can look back directly at her again and she will be turning counter-clockwise.

 

Not sure if the test means anything or not, but it is a pretty neat pic.

Try looking at the shadow of her foot that is sweeping, the one you can't always see. Imagine it going clockwise as it passes through your view. At some point it will appear to change and she will be going clockwise for you.

All I can see is clockwise.

So, what does it mean if she changes direction when you change perspective? That's what happens to me....does that mean we're whole brained? :confused:

I said clockwise. No sooner than I posted, she started going the other way. :irked:

:thumb::thumb: I just now tried that and saw her turning counter clockwise - then back clockwise.

It means that you're well trained in changing your mind.

I think whatever way she naturally turns is supposed to be the side of your brain that is dominant.

 

But I liked HHSDad's answer best

I think she just changes after so many turns in one direction.

I normally can see her moving clockwise, but if I hide her feet then I can make her change directions. If I can can see her feet bouncing then I see clockwise.

 

She is very attractively built though, in either direction.

Well, what I see first is counter-clockwise, so I'm left-brained.

 

Doesn't that fly in the face of what most of you believe about me?
