Which direction is the dancer spinning...?

Question

... in this left brain vs. right brain test?

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22535838-5012895,00.html

At first I could only see the dancer turning clockwise, but now I've got it down so I can see it either way.

Answer 1

At first I saw it going clockwise, then I saw it going counterclockwise. Does that mean I'm right brained or both?

Answer 2

I can only see it go clockwise and I have been sitting here for a while!!!! nothing works... I really wonder and start doubting whether it could ever go the other way..

and it says its more common to see it go counter-clockwise, so I guess people who respond here aren't a very good representation of it! Do they cite any research that suggests this to be a valid test of right vs. left brain usage??

Answer 3

It was going clockwise initially. And I didn't see how it could possibly be seen to go the other way. So I stared at it for a ffew seconds and thought about what it would look like spinning the other way and I saw it. Now I can switch from one to the other. So I'm super human or something I'd guess?



Just as I suspected.



Edit: Anyone else notice it had nipples? I wonder what the decision making process behind that was?

Answer 4

At first I only saw it going counter clockwise then I read the right side vs. left side thing and then when I looked back it was going clockwise.

Answer 5

That's weird and very interesting, and really annoying!

At first she was dancing clockwise and then when I went back for another look she was spinning anti-clockwise and now I can't make her go back...

:o)

Answer 6

I could see her spinning only counterclockwise from the start. No matter how much i try, cant see her spinning clockwise.

Answer 7

No - I strictly see it clockwise. I guess I only think with the right side of my brain - should I be concerned? :(





edit: OK- now I see it counter-clockwise, too - whreww :)

Answer 8

i do not watch the educate, because i do not discover what they do imaginative. they're more desirable like gymnastic dancers (competition dancers) then paintings. convinced, you're fantastic in assuming that susceptible dancers purely can turn one way. did you understand that actual dancers (attending Juilliard) were became down many times for that educate and at the prompt are dancing in a large number of of the wonderful specialist organizations contained in the international. The winners (SYTYCD) I comprehend, bypass on to careers as draw close type instructors in competition colleges.

Answer 9

At first, I saw it clockwise. Then counter-clockwise. Then clockwise again. Then counter-clockwise again.



I think it means I took too many halucinogens in my youth.

Answer 10

I can't make it go counter-clockwise. I can do it with the feet of the shadow but not the whole figure. Hmm.

Answer 11

it goes clockwise for me. i use my right side of the brain the most because im left handed. my art teacher spent 2 class periods explain it. (boring)

Answer 12

i saw her turning anti-clockwise at first then clockwise after looking closely then when i got the trick, i could make her turn both sides...

Interesting buddy...

Answer 13

whoops she just hit the floor LOL jk



hey this is really interesting!!! I think she is switching feet though, about the time I got finished reading about the lefties I looked up and she was going clock-wise so I had to read about the righties and then I looked up again and she had switched feet again! LOL



I hope this doesn't confirm that I am generally a very confused person!!!
