Are you left-brained or right-brained? Try this!

Post by Andre_online »

Here's a question
: Have you been wondering which side of the brain you're using more often? Check out this site! Tell me if you're seeing her dancing clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Have fun getting dizzy! :)

Clockwise, no doubt.

Though, having read the describtions of left vs right I'm definitely more left-brain type. Odd.

Seen that a couple of times.
It spins in both directions for me.
The first time I open it it might spin one way, next time the other.
You can change the direction if you concentrate.. At least I can.

Yep! I commanded my brains to change the direction, and my brain followed. Simply amazes me how our brain works. :)

I can see it both ways, but when I first opened it up, I saw counter-clockwise.

I can see both directions, but I can't really force myself to see it go counter-clockwise or clockwise. Sometimes it just happens.

First time I opened was anti-clockwise, last time I opened was clockwise.

I'm right-brained. I can make it turn around if i try and focus on it, or either just really pay attention to detail, since that uses your left side. :P

Spins in both directions for me.

Afaik it spins in both directions for those who have ability to see stuff in '3D like' format. I.e. you can recognize size of triangle corners inside of 3D box and etc. Theres alot of tests like that. Most of those things also given in different profficency tests during university/college entrance exams. Ofc you sometimes can really concentrate and still see it even if you dont have that above mentioned ability inside your head, but some versions of such tests really cant be just bypassed.

He probably means the rotation of the picture. He can see it in anti-clockwise then can change it so he sees it as clockwise.

No, I know what he means, I was trying to ask which way he saw it, first.

Counter-clockwise. When I concentrate I can change the direction of it. :P

the idea is to see both rotation angles same time you look at it for the first time :wink:

Being able to 'change the direction' doesn't mean you use both sides of your brain equally. I think what matters most is how you see it at first.

Yeah well it's just random for me.
I might open up the page and the thing is going clockwise..
Then I open it up again in a week and it goes in the other direction at first.
So I came to the conclusion that I'm probably using the both sides of my brain quite equally :).
Or maybe it's a day thing :D.
On mondays I might be thinking logically and on fridays I'm thinking imaginatively :lol:.
Who knows...

Or maybe this test is a load of crap.

For me it rotates left to right, up and down, in and out, all at the same time. Not like anyone cares.
