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.

This is WEIRD. I stare at it, it goes clockwise, if I focus my eyes around to the shadow or look at it from an angle/almost upside down, suddenly it's going anti-clockwise and the only way to see it clockwise is to look away for a few minutes. [/url]

This is freaking weird, I am seeing it turn both ways at different times...

What's really weird is I'm a classic left brain personality yet I can only see her move clockwise.

I only see clockwise. Can't get it to go counterclockwise for more than an instant. o.o

I see an image that's turning clockwise for about 10 rotations, then counter-clockwise for another 10.

Also, It would work better if that particular image didn't target a specific part of the right side of your brain (most women excluded).

I started on anti-clockwise, and then, once I get my head around clockwise, I'm now unable to get it back to anti-clockwise...

It's a complete trick, both myself and a flatmate saw her change directions at identical times.

Yes, I still exist :P

He's right, the animation does physically change.

On a hunch I looked at the GIF file in storyline format. It doesn't change direction at all.. ???? :( I'm confused.

I waited for the image to change directions (I can't do it without inverting my eyes somewhat) then opened up a SECOND instance of the GIF. Both moved in the same direction. The image does not physically change.

.... o_o;

She spins both ways for me, and it's makin my head hurt. I think it's one of those 'depends on which way you look at it' things.

I forget, what does being "right-brained" or "left-brained" mean? I think one side's more artsy while the other is... um, something else.



... ZOMG I live. >_>



Anyone remember me? :tongue5:
