*anj* Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 This is a quick test to find out whether you're more right or left brain centered. According to this test I am right brain dominant, but I went back and forth. My friend did likewise. Her husband the engineer was left brain dominant.

ArwenA Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 According to it I'm right side dominant but knowing me I'm considerably more left sided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom2legomaniacs Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 This stupid thing bugs me! First it goes one way and then it goes the other. Is it for real? Is it a trick and it switches? I don't get it. GAH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMom2One Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Cannot, cannot, cannot change directions, no matter how hard I focused. :D Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 When I look at it it starts out going clockwise then after a little while it reverses, but then if I watch long enough it goes clockwise again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacia Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 This stupid thing bugs me! First it goes one way and then it goes the other. Is it for real? Is it a trick and it switches? I don't get it. GAH That's what I thought too. When she first came up, I saw clockwise. But, when I blinked, she was going counter-clockwise. I refreshed the page a couple times (hoping to see if there was a change), and I'm mainly seeing her turning clockwise. Once, by squinting & focusing just on the heel of her foot that is down/flat, I seemed to see her going in the other direction. But, suddenly again, she's going clockwise & no matter how much I squint or blink, she just stays clockwise. So, is your brain really flipping her or is she actually changing???

Jenny in Atl Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'm right dominate to start, but I can, after a time, make her go the other way. Then she gets stuck the other way and won't go back till I look away... If I look back again, I see her as a right brainer would, again. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain_Jane Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 she's not actually spinning around in either direction- just back and forth. It's just how your brain perceives the movement that determines which direction she appears to be going in. It's a really cool illusion.

Tap Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 For people who can't see the flip: Try turning you head to the right and looking at her out of the corner of your left eye. Then turn to the left and look at her out of the corner of you right eye. OR Try blinking when her pointed toe (not the one she is standing on) reachs the outermost point on either side.

DIY-DY Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Cannot, cannot, cannot change directions, no matter how hard I focused. :D Blessings, Lucinda I tried to see it both ways, too. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostinabook Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I can only see her turning to the right, but I swear I don't even possess a right brain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieAir Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I guess I'm right brained. I couldn't get it to go counter clockwise. I've done this test before and, although it turned clockwise at first, it kept switching back and forth. This time I just couldn't see it going counter clockwise. Finally I looked down at the keyboard to rest my eyes. When I glanced up and saw the image out of the corner of my right eye it looked counter clockwise. When I looked with both eyes, it was clockwise, and I had a very hard time getting it to go counter clockwise again. My headache is considerably worse now:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoniMoni Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Before dinner she was clockwise and wouldn't change. After dinner I turned on the screen again and...she was counter-clockwise and wouldn't change! Maybe it was the glass of wine? the blue cheese? Strange.

j.griff Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Left, this time- but I could see it both ways. I've done it before and it was half and half. Is there a "middle brain"? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janna Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 OK, how can this test be accurate? The lady switches her motion half way through! If you watch for a few minutes (because I couldn't fathom at first how she could possible be moving counter-clockwise), she will pause and switch and move the other way. Then pause and switch again. So, I gotta doubt the validity of this "test", LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in IL Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Left brained here. I did get to see it go clockwise twice but only for a brief time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Dad Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Left-brain to start, but I can change the direction pretty much at will after a few seconds of concentration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisN in NY Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Cannot, cannot, cannot change directions, no matter how hard I focused. Me, too -- strong left brain here (but I already knew that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda in NM Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 That's cool--I couldn't get it to change to anti-clockwise, but then I did...it was so weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyR Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I truly believe I'm a left brain person. But I did the test and only saw the dancer turning clockwise (right brain). No matter how hard I tried to change directions, I couldn't. Here's a link to some characteristics attributed to right brain/left brain. http://painting.about.com/library/blpaint/blrightbraintable.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket1178 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Definitely left brained! I tried and tried to see it the other way but can not. Soooo, I asked my dh what he saw? No surprise to me, he sees it opposite. He is right brained. No surprise to him either. He tried to help me see it the way he does (kinda like our life, LOL) We got a big kick out of this:D.

WTMindy Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 why must this lady have nipples? She kept switching for me, but I'm always very confused and mixed up on these kinds of things. I am left handed for writing, but do everything else with my right hand. These tests only confirm what I suspected all along....I have no brain!

Doran Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 This thing amazes me. I see her going mostly clockwise. But, if I avert my gaze or size my screen so that I can see less of her (usually just from the knees down), I can "make" her switch. Funniest part about this is that my very REALITY based husband is adamant that "they" (the little men in the computer) are actually making the image switch -- that it's not not really revolving in the same direction (no matter which one you choose since he saw it as counterclockwise while I saw it as clockwise, sitting right next to him). He was nearly irritated about it. His hefty lefty brain just can't understand that it's all an illusion. :lol: Doran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a Jen in Mississippi Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm definitely right brained and the description fit me. I could NOT see it counter-clockwise no matter how hard I looked at it and I tried the suggestions. She just goes perfectly around for me. I did not her nipples until Mindy pointed them out!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doran Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 why must this lady have nipples? Because that's the only way we can get our left brained husbands to even give it a second glance! "Just focus dear." "Oh, I'm focusing, believe me!" :D Doran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Right brained, which I mostly am, but not in everything. Like WTMindy, I have mixed dominance. I could get her to seem to be moving the other way, but not as easily. And, to those that saw it going back and forth, I don't think everyone has equally strong dominance in brain function, but this is a non-scientific opinion based on life and observations so feel free to take it with a grain of salt.

Audrey Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Cannot, cannot, cannot change directions, no matter how hard I focused. :D Blessings, Lucinda :iagree: Same here, Lucinda. I cannot see it as anything other than clockwise no matter how hard I try. Dh says it goes back and forth. Ds said clockwise, but after looking at it for more than a minute he said, "Ooh! Now it goes the other way, too." Very interesting test! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 why must this lady have nipples? I was wondering the same thing!! Yeesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janna Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm with your dh - I don't see how it's an illusion either, and I REALLY don't see how you "make" it switch, LOL! Dh and I watched it togetherand we saw at the same time, the lady pause then switch, then we saw again, at the same time, she paused and switched again. So I'm in agreement with your dh - the little men in the computer are making her switch and I'm adding that the "test" isn't a "test" in the lease, LOL! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I've done this before and could get it to switch on a whim. Today it's totally right brain. Maybe we've been on spring break too long!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
