Are You Left Or Right "brained"?

[LongJim]

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

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

She turns both ways to me depending on the glance, one glance one way next glance the other.

Am I stuck in some sort of twilight zone?

My girlfriend said the exact same thing. I see her going clockwise the whole time...

Same here.

When I first opened the thread...I focused only on the dancer for about a minute and thought that she was clearly turning clockwise. Then I read the descriptions and how she should be turning based on brain function. Now she is only turning counter-clockwise.

The brain is amazing. Reading the descriptions forces you to think logically, thus the left brain is active.

Christ...and now I just scrolled down and she's turning clockwise...Long Jim, I'm gonna be very pissed if this turns out to be some joke and she's programmed to change direction.

Heh! No joke.

Nah, I thought the same thing, but I initially saw her turning counter-clockwise, and then concentrated, and she 'turned' clockwise. Weird, though!

That woman is turning me on

DANG! I had Quoner to drop that line in this thread first. Oh well.

Woman!? It's like you don't know me at all...

[Eagle1855]

Im not sure the nipples were necessary, but I'm glad they did it.

[Coffee and TV]

I guess this is why I always had trouble in math...no matter what I do I can't seem to see her turn counter-clockwise.

[Eagle1855]

Im pretty sure it is. I just sat and watched it change directions multiple times. Though maybe it's all the peyote I had with breakfast.

Ahhh...Cloudcroft, New Mexico.

[bstnsportsfan3]

took me about 45 secs of staring....but i got it from going counter-clockwise to going clock wise...then i scrolled down and read the fucntions....when i went back up it was counter -clockwise again!

[Green P1]

It turns out that I'm right, left, right, and left brained. I didn't realize, until I took this test, that that was something that changed upon randomly clicking the refresh button.

[LAZER]

its a joke.....im almost positive

[EagleChick03]

It's not a joke. I've seen her somewhere else before.

I can only see her going counter clockwise no matter how long I stare and even after hitting refresh.

[UNTFan23]

She's turning right for me. Can't make her turn the other way.

[Green P1]

I guess I just use more of my brain power than most. I have to power to make her change direction through deep focus, boredom, and the refresh button.

[Mean Green Matt]

She changes almost every time I scroll down and come back up...I don't see how it can be real unless my brain jumps around more than i thought.

[NTPhiKap99]

No mater now long I look she just keeps going clockwise.

[LongJim]

Guys, it's a two-dimensional image, which means its not really turning either way. Your mind is perceiving it as turning one way or the other. Its no joke.

If it were a 3D image and it jumped back and forth, you'd be able to tell.

After watching her a while I could control it, 180 degrees from right to left and back again. I was able to perceive it her out stretched foot as rocking back and forth and always pointing away form me, so her direction changed every 180 degrees.

When does football start?

[LongJim]

When does football start?

No kidding!

[mad dog]

the key is to watch her foot close to the ground. when it turns perpendicular to the viewer, for a split second, it could be going either way. At that point, you can "switch" your perspective to either direction.
