Are you a right brained or left brained thinker?

[Orlando Rosæ]

I thought this was an interesting optical illusion...



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- anti/counter-clockwise
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 - clockwise
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

[Brent Smith]

Going clockwise for me. Tried to get it to go the opposite way but wouldn't work.

[Tyler Timmermans]

a little bit of both thats probably use my right hand to wright and my left to shoot pool, play hockey, bow hunt, and play wii sports.

I can switch back and forth too. I think it means we're either on the verge of genius or on the verge of insanity. LOL

I just tried running both images simultaneously and saw one spinning clockwise and the other spinning counter-clockwise. It was really trippy. My head almost exploded.

[Jon Watkins]

I don't appreciate you people blowing my mind like that. Not cool.

[Bill Keeling]

Holy shit!!! I thought you were full of it, because I can use both and was only seeing counter clockwise. Then pow I made it shift. Nice test, how does it work?

[Dennis Martinez]

I Saw Both Ways and tried it a few times to switch it back and forth was pretty cool....so either im a Genius or im out of my mind either way im ok with it

Exactly what happened to me... makes me think the image is just changing.
