Right brain or Left brain, which one do you use?

  • Article

Michael Kordahi, a developer evangelist in the team I'm in sends this picture around today of a spinning dancer. Its a test to see which side of your brain you predominantly think with. Right brain thinkers see her spin clockwise. Left brain thinkers see her spin anticlockwise.

In my instance I saw her spin anticlockwise but the moment I started thinking logically she switched directions, or should I say, my brain switched directions!! How spinny is that??

 

Check it out for yourself! Which one are you?

    I always thought of myself as left-brain, but I initially saw her spinning clockwise. I can flip her, but much easier to see clockwise than anti-clockwise.

    How come she first rotated clockwise and when i looked away for a moment and returned she was spinning the other way around... we're talking about not looking for approximately two seconds. Could it possibly be connected to the fact that I don't have one main hand?

    Well, schools internet is rather slow, so the .gif was loading really slow, and it was quite obvious that she was turning clockwise, I think it kinda ruined the test for me :s
