Left Brain versus Right Brain "test"

I see a woman spining quite slowly in an anti clockwise direction.

How does one use the brain to change the direction of a programed graphic? Um, well I guess that makes me more left brained, I guess. Perhaps I can blame it on my computer?

I've noticed that I have the spacial perception of a flea. From what I've observed men have more ability to judge acurately where they are in space and time (especially when driving). It probably makes them better at winning Grand Prix and parking in difficult places. But women are more considerate, so they have less accidents.

Hmm, according to the Myer-Briggs personality indicator, I am also a 'big picture' thinker and rather 'short' on the details too.
 
I saw the image going clockwise. I stared at the shadow below the image and eventually i saw it moving counter clockwise. It was interesting to me that the counter clockwise movement felt "awkward", and i really had to concentrate to keep from letting myself see it clockwise. Would viewing it in the "awkward" position, help strengthen that side of the brain???
 
There is a useful commentary and critisicm of this exercise on the blog of Mark McGuinness (_http://www.wishfulthinking.co.uk/blog/2007/10/12/are-you-a-right-brain-or-a-left-brain-person ). It well explains why some people see the dancer rotate in both directions. Personally, so far I only have seen her turn counter clock wise. This exercise requires a 'magic eye'. I am refering to the book with holographic images hidden in colorful mosaics.

What you have to realise is that the image is a black silhouette -- in other words, a total 2D image with no way to know which way it is really spinning.

Is this the objective view? When I first saw the image it appeared to me that the motion was counter clockwise. But I found that I could easily change my perception to clockwise. But it really isn't either one. So which ever way we see the image rotating are we not wrong? It is not rotating.

Another way to look at it is that it never actually makes a full circle. It just sort of goes back and forth, sort of "flipping" the image. It's easier to see if you look at just the legs. Then you can 'let' it keep turning which ever way you want... Cool illusion!
 
left brain/right brain IQ test

i stumbled on this groovy site ==http://www.readnrock.com/?p=38
the lady was turning anti clock wise for me to start with but as i read the text underneath it she changed direction after a few try's i managed to keep her face on swinging her leg from side to side by reading the ad next to her to make my brain switch
have fun
RRR

edit thanks anart looks like i'm a year behind somehow :lol: where did the time go :huh:

Hi rrraven, this was actually discussed last year, so I've merged the topics. :)

Here's a little "test" you can do that supposedly tells you whether you're left- or right-brain-dominant.

I have tried really hard and can only see the woman rotating clockwise, but others can consciously make the direction change. I don't think I'm a "right-brain person" specifically, but then again I doubt the validity of such a test.

Be warned though: if your computer is slow, the rotating image will not be smooth.

I too finding clockwise ONLY , how much I stare at the left side or blink or shadow which basically conforms the observed behaviour . I am emotional , struggle to use brain.

I see clockwise too. I guess the only way I could see it counter clockwise, is to see her spinning from below. I doubt this test too.


On this other left right brained test I scored 11 right, 7 left.

divide by zero ,
which is the other left right brained test ?. can you post the link ?

Initially, I could only see this image turning clockwise; no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make it change direction.

Then, quite by accident, I discovered that if I turned my head slightly to the left the image began to revolve counter-clockwise; a head turn slightly to the right or straight forward and the image revolves clockwise.

As Thorbion pointed out - 'magic eye'.

Arrgh I can't do it :|

I tried to spin my monitor super fast counterclockwise and it did not help.
And when I blink everything disappear for a few milliseconds !!
Now my eyes hurt as well.

Really? I turned my head and my monitor upside down, then I got a neckache and a headrush. Then I got the distinct impression that the woman was taunting me. I think this test is biased, it does not account for no-brained people like ourselves. But im just sayin.. :love:
 
Re: Left Brain versus Right Brain \

Interesting. I found that at first I saw clockwise but when the page finished loading I saw anti-clockwise. I noticed that the perception was based on where you thought the arms and legs were as the figure rotated. I found the cadence where the leg was in front then back. In my mind I chanted "Front, Back, Front, Back" to get the cadence. Then I started to chant "Back, Front, Back, Front" and so on, and spontaneously the figure started to rotate in the opposite direction!

In other words, I can pretty much change the perceived direction of rotation at will...
 
Re: Left Brain versus Right Brain \

This test is disturbing. I tried many times (since the first post in this thread) to make her turn anticlockwise. I never succeeded.
Then I used a little mirror to left-right flip the image. The virtual image of the woman in the mirror turns clockwise again.
When I focus on the virtual image (on the mirror) it is clockwise, the real image too. But when I look into both images, the one on the mirror is still clockwise and the other real image (on the screen) turns anticlockwise for few seconds (because then I refocus on it). Fascinating!
