THE Right or Left Brain Test

[epicCreations.or]

I saw this on another forum and I thought you guys might be interested.

Which way is the ballerina spinning?

Put which way you think the ballerina is going. Don't lie, and here is the info.

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Here is what it supposedly says about you:

Clockwise

Spoiler

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

Counter-Clockwise

Spoiler

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

Personally, I have complete control over it and can switch it basically whenever. Kind of cool.

umm...
i remember this on those ads ,
but i used to feel that it was counter clockwise .

now it's always clockwise and when i read the description, i was like, that's in now way like me xD>

 

[gameboy13]

Seen this before. I can see it both ways, and fully control which direction I see it go.

I see her spinning clockwise, but I more fit the mentality of Left minded.

I first saw it spinning clockwise and was like how can anyone see this spin anti-clockwise so i sat here for a few seconds looking at it and realized that there's a mirror copy of her foot and i thought that's what people see as anti-clockwise but if you look at it for a few seconds then back to the rotating woman see has now switched the way she spins.

So now anti-clockwise spinning but her foot instead of being mirrored like before is spinning in the same direction as her, so just look at her foot again for a bit and she changes directions and you can keep doing this so she keeps changing (may vary with different people so keep looking at the foot for more then a few seconds, or may not work at all).

This puzzle has been cracked xD.

 

[PeregrinFig]

This can't be accurate for everyone. I see it as clockwise, and the clockwise description is the exact opposite of who I am.

This is how I do it. I look at the foot until I see that it moves in a horizontal line on the away side, then when it moves in the direction I want it to I release my fix slightly and it'll move in that rotation.

Maybe you just didn't focus on it hard enough. You're probably both.

(This is also why I added "supposedly", because I also saw it the way unlike me first)

the two question personality test, truly a landmark in modern psychology

I've seen this animation a couple years ago.

I see it moving both ways, but mostly counter-clockwise, especially if I look at the shadow. If I happen to see it move clockwise, then look at the shadow, I can switch it to counter-clockwise, but not the other way around.

My particular situation may be kind of unique though.....I'm essentially blind in my right eye since 1991 (no lens, no iris, transplanted cornea), so I don't see with both halves of my brain anymore. I only see with one side. My right eye sees just a super-blur and basically shuts off during normal visual activities. When I try to look at the animation with only my right eye, I just see a wiggling blur and I wouldn't be able to tell what it was if I didn't already know. I'm sure that it affects my ability to see it move both ways at will......my eyesight was my "gift" for lack of a better term.

August 13, 1991 is when my gaming kills took a nose-dive. It's also when my entire attitude changed from positive and happy to negative and depressing.

 

[fairlyevenparents]

I usally see it moving clockwise but every now and then I see it moving counter-clockwise. So looking at the copy of her foot for a few seconds helps the way you see it move?

 

[.Chris]

its both for me, complete control.

 

[ball2012003]

I can see both but only have partial control. Every time I look away and then back at it, it switches.
Or is that complete control then

Total control is being make her change direction withing 180° so that she never face's away from you.

 

[omgpwn666]

I have no control over it, and sometimes it goes right, sometimes left. Most of the time though, it's right.

 

[DeviousTom]

Lol the only control I have, is that I make it always spin clockwise, so even if I look at it upside down which should make the spin seem counterclockwise, my brain just instantly reverses it to spin clockwise, which if I wasn't looking at it upside down, would be spinning counterclockwise. So to switch the direction, I just look at it upside down (but it's still the same perceived direction, aka clockwise).I guess clockwise is just natural for me, and not because I favour my right brain over my left.

 

[omgpwn666]

Holy crap! I played with it since my comment, and can now control it at will! All I do is spin my finger in front of my face, in the direction I want her to go, then blink for like... 2 seconds.

 

[ChuckBartowski]

I have complete control. Ive found that if you glance away from it, that will usually switch it.

 

[Maplemage]

Even though I hear an explanation on how it works and stuff I still say... HOW?!

 

[ProtoKun7]

I've seen it a lot of times before too.

When I first look, I usually see it spinning clockwise, but I have control over it too.
I fit the left-side description remarkably, though.

 

[nutella]

I have to rotate my head to get it to go the other way. Trying real hard to control it.
