Which way is she spinning?

[BurnyBurn]

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.

Some people can change the direction at will, especially women.

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

I see clockwise btw.

 

[Amorix]

Counter clockwise.
Left brain FTW.

 

[Gasy_Europeon]

Clockwise
RIGHT BRAIN BROTHER

 

[Notme]

Clockwise...

But I use left brain more.....

SYSTEM BLOWN!

 

[Alisha]

Counter-clockwise.

Now I am even more of a lefty. (left-handed as well)

 

[Amorix]

Ok, I looked again and she was spinning the other way. Double take, and she span the counter clockwise again.
MUST DECIPHER! (屮ಠ益ಠ)屮

 

[DarthLego5679]

Counter-clockwise.
I mean, I can tell my brain it is clockwise, but as soon as I stop telling it that, it goes back to counter-clockwise.

I think the pic simply changes direction inbetween to confuse you. But, nevertheless, I can change directions :D

 

[BurnyBurn]

It's so weird imagining that others see it different than I do.

And I can't change it, no matter how hard I try ;;

It's funny because I left out this part: "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."

Yet most of you see Clockwise ;;

Refresh the page, watch the pic and count. It will change direction always on the same second

Yeah, I noticed that also... I think this spinning thing is a scam tbh..
I saw both clockwise and counter-clockwise it looks like a .gif and it suddenly stops for a millisecond then goes the other way.. at least that's how I see it.

 

[Amorix]

I can't get it to go clockwise again.
Y U SO AWKWARD!? (屮ಠ益ಠ)屮

 

[Shinyshark]

The only thing I always notice is that she's jumping :-(

 

[Nottykitten]

I can see it go both ways. /me changes directions at will. I AM AN X-MEN WOOOO!!

But seriously I dont think it changes directions. It is just black so you will never know wich way it goes....

I have yet to see it in anything but clockwise, I assure you, and that neat Wiki link you posted shows the frames used at the bottom showing that it doesn't reverse at any time.

Oh yeah and the whole psychology part of the thing is totally bullshit btw, it's just awesome that people see it differently, right?

 

[Airkid]

I can see bothhh D:

Indeed, it was a trick on my mind that it switched back and forth, I didnt think I could actually see both sides so easily.

 

[Trap_Wolf]

So I noticed I was able to see both sides which actually fits me pretty well. I'm the most spontantious person I know and I'm able to change my attitude/outlook/personality at anytime. There's absolutely very few people who understand/know me. .___.

And then I reread the post again:

the direction at will, especially women.

And I went: FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU-

 

[Swate]

Counter-clockwise.

Same, but the other way around.

 

[DKnucklehead]

What would it mean if I don't see it spinning at all o.o

 

[Blockinator]

Crap... Its spinning in both directions...

 

[Marlem]

I figured this out a long time ago... It's both.

 

[Specter2k11]

Both. I could change it at will.
And i'm a guy.
TAKE DAT WOME-
*ehem*
anyways
Both.

 

[Dess]

Both....it hurts D:
