The Dancer Brain Test
By Chris McQuillan on Oct 4, 2007 in Ramblings
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 |

If you close your left eye it is anti-clockwise, if you close your right one it is clockwise.

Again, not for me.
Both eyes appear clockwise.

Well.. I’m sure it’s only one spin .. I can change the direction anytime..

hmmmm…. if you actually can see it spinning anti-clockwise, I think you should contact your shrink…

I can only see it clockwise. Although I *think* I saw it going anti once. Does this have any truth in it? I guess the RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS do describe me though. Is this a trick? Does it move the other way? Or does it just change direction randomly?

im seeing it both ways, originally I see it clockwise and then if I move the page down and back up again it’ll have changed
the blinking thing from further up the comments kinda works
I really don’t get the whole changing the direction thingy though, how does that actually work!?
