Default Are you Left or Right Brained???

This is driving me up the wall...

The Right Brain vs Left Brain | The Daily Telegraph


Is the dancer rotating clockwise, or anticlockwise???? The way you perceive it indicates whether you are 'right brained' or 'left brained'.... apparently.

Some people can some both, and are able to switch between clockwise and anticlockwise... I can only see clockwise, and no matter what I do I simply cannot see her spinning anticlockwise.

Fun and bizarre...

Enjoy!

Oddly enough, I can switch between the two. Look at the image, cover it with your hand think clockwise and then remove your hand and see if the image is spinning clockwise. Cover the image again and think anti-clockwise, remove your hand and see if the image is spinning anti-clockwise.

Like I said - works for me....

Definate preference for anti, but can switch it if I choose.

I find it will definitely change directions after a few turns and then back again to the original way. Its seems to be a function of the way that the lifted leg appears to turn.

Thought I was going mad as could only see Clockwise, but after a few goes I can now switch between either at will

Thats it Les... We tried this at work a couple of months ago... It just alternates its rotation by way of he lifted leg...
Look at it long enough and everyone on the planet has a brain on both sides
It is clever though - had us debating for a while
