Left V/S Right Brain

Quick, what direction does the below picture seem to be spinning? clockwise or counterclockwise?

brain test

Apparently this is a pretty accurate test of which side of your brain is more predominant?

First of all, here are the main characteristics of left brained people and right brained people.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic uses feeling
detail oriented "big picture" oriented
facts rule imagination rules
words and language symbols and images
present and past present and future
maths and science philosophy & religion
can comprehend can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
knowing believes
acknowledges appreciates
order/pattern perception spatial perception
knows object name knows object function
reality based fantasy based
forms strategies presents possibilities
practical impetuous
safe risk taking

So which do you think you are?

Anyways, if it’s clockwise, it’s supposed to be right minded, and anticlockwise is left minded. Some people can change between the two.

Mine was clockwise all the way. Tell me something I don’t know \m/

[update]Found a really cool test that can be taken here. I’m 70%right and 20% left. What do you have?

  • Hmm It was initially anticlockwise when I first read this post. But now again when I saw it it was clockwise…!!! Wierd!!

  • Great illusion. At first I see her rotating anti clockwise. But now I can see her rotating both sides. First I thought, she is rotating the other side after some time. It took about half an hour for me to find the easiest way to switch between both views. Concentrate on the right side of the image with left eye, you’ll see her rotating clockwise and vice versa. Very tricky..

  • Ow! I have fairly Equal Hemispheres: 50% right and 44% left!

  • Clockwise all the time, too. Can hardly figure out how that move can be perceived counterclockwise though ;)

  • Clockwise and anticlockwise don’t make sense for rotations viewed sideways(you have to specify a side of the rotational plane). Although I suppose it’s fine since everyone’s going to assume a top view.

  • u wanna kn my score?…… well its 72% right 38% left

  • three of us looked at this moving woman for at least ten minutes and all of us know its just a trick! the woman is moving different ways all the time… she switches directions… its all just a trick!
