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 know this is a 2 week old repost but I'm too lazy to search for the other thread.

A 360-degree repost.

Most people can stare at the shadow of the foot and make her spin either way.

LOL, "anti-clockwise?" Kind of like counter clockwise, but more evil? :confused:

I saw it both ways. I loaded it once, saw counter clockwise, voted, saw I was the minority, looked again, saw her going clockwise.

Yeah, WTF. I switched tabs, came back, and I swear it was going the opposite way. Ok, now it went back...and back again. WTF!!! So, because I can see both, I must be a genius? :p

Repost or not.. I haven't seen it before... so I'll just go with it. :)

I see a clockwise spin... and I can't get it to spin "anti-clockwise" as you say.

Focus on the reflection/shadow of the dancer and you might be able to see it.

It's definitely only going clockwise. Simply look at the ponytail as she turns. 100% only going clockwise.

Highlights from the last time that was posted:

"No matter how you spin it, she's a whore"

"Yeah, and she goes both ways"

I saw her spinning counterclockwise but I can easily switch so that she is spinning clockwise.

More importantly, what about the flamingo she is about to step on? Won't someone please think of the long-necked birds? :D

DAMN! I can't make her go clockwise no matter what I do. It looks like I have my plans for the afternoon :)
