Right Brain Left Brain test
A coworker sent this to me and I’m sure it’s been around forever and I just saw it for the first time but I thought it was cool so here it is.
Take a look at the following image:
Which way is the dancer turning? If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most people would see the dancer turning counter-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it. I see it as clockwise and have been able to change it’s direction.
Interestingly enough, the email I got stated that Nikon DSLR owners would see it counter-clockwise and Canon owners would see it clockwise – sounds like a shot from a Canon forum or Flickr group directed at us Nikon owners.
| 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 couldn’t find the source of this test (my email was slightly different than this layout) so I’ll attribute the first google result that resembled the email I got (I also grabbed the table content from this source as well)…if you know the source, let me know and I’ll give it proper attribution.
i can see it both ways. at first i was sad only being able to see it clockwise but then i realized i could see it both ways. im not surprised im pretty strange.
