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.

I can make her spin both ways, does that mean I'm actually quite intelligent after all.....

I posted this a while back and was shocked that truthfully people only saw it going clockwise. As many times as I tried i could only get it turning clockwise, I don't have a very good logical brain though. I don't consider myself to be unintelligent but logical problems stump me.
I also was able to see the figure moving in both directions. But, I think there's a timer to the rotation which allows the model to spin anti-clockwise for a period then change rotation to the opposite direction after the time.
I can only see her turning clockwise

Is that why you're called 'figure' figure, as you're good at working things out! LOL

My sis can't get it to turn either but I can do it 10 secs then change it 10 secs then change it!!
I've seen this before as well but it was about being left and right handed.
I am right handed but truely and honestly I can make her go both ways. My son who is left handed sees her going clockwise. H ehas trouble getting her to go the other way.
Hi Sandra, hope you are well.

Maybe you remember this one from science class -
Rub your belly and top of your head at the same time for a some seconds. Then switch hands and rub in the opposite direction each hand was moving. See how well you do with this one LOL.

People with spare time?
when Im looking at it hard i see it going clockwise.

When I look at it out of the corner of my eyes, ie sneakily, not focussed, I see it going anticlockwise
i can make her have my dinner on the table at 5.30pm
I have a theory about logical thinking having seen how House MD gets all his great ideas when his eyes gos out of focus as his mind takes over. I think he starts seeing with his brain rather than his eyes.

i think thats what happened when I saw it turning anticlockwise. I was not focusing on it with my eyes, but with my brain so saw it more logically.
