The Right Brain vs Left Brain Test

[vinjashira]

click this link (http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22535838-5012895,00.html) to take the test

My left brain doesn't seem to be working http://www.petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif the picture remains clockwise for me

[Killearn Kitties]

Anti-clockwise for me, and I can't get it to change direction either.

[vinjashira]

I stared at the reflection of the feet and confinced myself that she was turning anticlockwise and she suddenly changed direction http://www.petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/smile.gif

Killearn Kitties see if you can convince yourself that the girl is turning the other way

[Killearn Kitties]

OK, I have tried again - really hard! If I just concentrate on the legs, or the reflection, there is only a little part of the circle that her leg traces where I can see it as going the other way, which is actually very disorienting! :D

[sweetpatata6]

I see her going clockwise and cannot get her to change directions... Although, my mom sees her going counter clockwise... Doesn't the right side of you brain control the left side of your body and vise virsa?

[Killearn Kitties]

Don't think so. If that were the case, you could cover one eye and make her go in a different direction! :D Perhaps I should try it ...

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh oh! I did it! I can get her to go round clockwise for maybe 2 revolutions then she reverts. :D
And no, I didn't do it by covering one eye.

[sweetpatata6]

Haha I'll try later, because quite frankly, I wanna slap that dancer because she won't go the other way. Ok just kidding, but I do want her to go the other way lol.

[Barbara]

Wow that's great. First I couldn't make it change but now I can :)

[Blue_Frog]

Yep that worked -- i can make her turn either way at will. I think its like one of illusions where you either see the faces or the vase, or hte witch or the girl kind of thing :)

[binka_nugget]

That's trippy!! I saw her going clockwise but can get her to change to counter-clockwise.. so cool!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

clockwise !!

[vinjashira]

clockwise !!
Maya & Inka's mommy, see if you can make her turn anticlockwise.

This is indeed a cool optical illusion :D

Nope!! :rolleyes: ! Does that make me braindead, lol???

[Catty1]

TOTALLY clockwise! :D Which I am very happy about! Could NOT make her go the other way...though I didn't really want to.

[animal_rescue]

She went clockwise then I starred at her feet and like vinjashira convinced myself she was going the other way and she started to! :D

[lizbud]

It starts out going one way, then turns in the opposite direction. I just
focused on her shoulders and can see the change easily. Weird, isn't it? :)

[jenluckenbach]

She will rotate either way for me. :)

[Miss Z]

Wow! I can get her to change direction every turn after a bit of practice :)

[Grace]

Both directions!! And it happened without concentrating at all. She was going clockwise; I looked down for an instant and when I looked up she was going counter-clockwise. Then as I watched intently, she switched again after a bit!

Same here

[Taz_Zoee]

Ok, when I first opened the link she was going counter clockwise. I glanced over to read the stuff to the left and went to look back and it changed directions. I am not talented enough to make it change back. LOL

[Edwina's Secretary]

She only goes clockwise for me. I have tried all the tricks you suggest...and still she goes clockwise!

[Rachel]

Same with me. She changed directions on her own. :p

What's with the term *anti-clockwise*? I've never heard that before - always counter-clockwise.

[Flatcoatluver]

Same thing here, and now she is going clockwise.

[Edwina's Secretary]

What's with the term *anti-clockwise*? I've never heard that before - always counter-clockwise.

It is like "boot" for "trunk" of the car, or "lift" for "elevator" or "lorry" for "truck". It's British-speak!

[Killearn Kitties]

Since it was posted on an Australian website though, it is obviously Australian-speak as well. Maybe it is only Americans who say counter-clockwise. :p :D

Picking on us again for not speaking proper English! ;) ;) Two countries divided by a common language! (or three or four or five...) :D

[sweetpatata6]

I'm depressed. lol. I cannot get it to turn counter clockwise :( I've tried for so long

[DrKym]

She moved in both directions rather easily for me. Neat test though. :)

[K9karen]

Oh oh! I did it! I can get her to go round clockwise for maybe 2 revolutions then she reverts. :D

Same for me. But according to the description, I am SO a right brainer!!!

[Twisterdog]

Well, I'm obviously odd. (Like we didn't know that already!)

I see her going clockwise for a few turns, then counterclockwise for a few, etc. I wasn't looking hard or concentrating on it.

Obviously I have things wired a bit wrong in the attic. :p

[krazyaboutkatz]

I was able to see that dancer going both clockwise and counter clockwise.:) Very interesting.:)

[catnapper]

Definitely clockwise. I can only make her go counter clockwise for half a turn. She rather looks like she's dancing instead of spinning.

Cool that we have so many right brains here! I'll have ot see what the rest of my family says.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

I got her going both ways so that mean both sides of my brain are working..........which just proves how wrong this test is lol!!!

[Ginger's Mom]

Same for me, too.

[lvpets2002]

:) :p Clockwise here too.. Guess I am right sided brained.. :D Well now you all mention it I at one point thought I saw the dancer go counter clockwise.. I just thought I was seeing things.. Cause I would keep looking & she would be clockwise.. :)

[Edwina's Secretary]

FINALLY got her to go counter clockwise. I suppose I best get back to business now. How can I bill all this time to a client? :D :D Improving the analytic side of my brain perhaps?

[Felicia's Mom]

Both ways for me! She went clockwise at first, then counter clockwise.
She even stopped spinning and then started up again!

[anna_66]

Mostly counter clockwise.

It sounds like many of you have a great imagination, I wish I did:o

[Suki Wingy]

I can't see it clockwise, though I've been trying. I'm almost all right brain though. :confused:
edit: I just stared at the feet and she changed direction, although there was a jerk, and it happened randomly again back to counter-clockwise. I'm beginning to think it changes on its own and is just tricking us all.

Me too! LOL!
