So I stumbled upon this image:



And it's supposed to indicate which side of your brain is dominant. For me it's right, for everyone in my household it's right. I'm wondering if this image is just 'tampered' or if people can actually see it the way people see it with a dominant left side of the brain.

The way it works is as follows: The dancer is turning, which way is she turning? Clockwise or counterclockwise?
Clockwise = Right side of the brain dominant
Counterclockwise = Left side of the brain dominant


Then there's also some bullshit about describing who you are, based on your dominant brain side:

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 know it's from a website called "Funnyphotos", but I would still like to check this.

This stuff is actually true. As far as the pic telling you which you are... not sure.

i dont see how that can be seen counter clockwise.

I see the pic as going Clockwise, I don't see how anyone can interpret it as going Anti-Clockwise.

Ah this thing again.

I can see it both ways, it just takes a little concentration.

Was posted once before, back then Cruor edited the picture so you could see it both ways, pretty weird though
And yea, i can see it in both ways to when concentrating a little

this is ancient....

I saw it spin both ways, cw first though.

I've seen this before. I looked at the picture and it was spinning counter-clockwise and I scrolled down to the comments. When I looked at the picture again it was spinning the other way lol

It went both ways for me. When I turned my head right, it turned around right and when I turned my head left, it turned around left. o_O

it goes both ways for me! i guess i'm both brain dominant

I just looked at it again and she never made a full rotation, the leg just went --->, <---, etc.

I can see it both ways.

thing is she goes in a direction while her shadows goes in the other .

Lol, I can get her to switch directions by staring at the shadow you mentioned Ash.

According to this, im right sided, but I feel like im left sided =\

No matter how I look at it she turns clockwise. Annoys me a little to be honest.

Stare at her shadow and imagine it going the other way (eyes open, not closed). Watch her feet while you stare at her shadow, she'll go the other way eventually. If you can't make it go back to clockwise afterwards, close your eyes for a few seconds.

I get frustrated too fast. Just cant do it. lol

What i do is, when the leg is behind her in your point off view- tell yourself the leg is in front, and when the leg is in front in your point off view, tell yourself the leg is behind her ^^ works for me xD

An explanation (no this is not my desktop! [mines much cleaner >.< ])

Frame 25 is where your brain decides.

wtf? it's always ccw...
mindfuck!

lol

first she was going clockwise, looked at her foot / shadow for a minute and then she was counter.. closed my eyes then opened, clockwise again.

can make her spin either way with a little concentration, cool stuff

Counter clockwise here.

I find this image odd, in every other test I have taken I am left side dominant. According to the picture I am right side dominant.

every test says im right side dominant (65%->90%), this goddam picture says im a lefty.
what the hell

That's because whoever made the picture tacked on the "left side right side" stuff afterwords. The picture likely has no bearing on what side of your brain actually is dominant. It's just good at finding out which way you see it spin.

so it is a mindfuck, nothing more

Both ways.

At first it went left but right came later

Wtf.

People say it either goes clockwise, or "how can this be seen as counter clockwise"

It defenitely goes counter clockwise for me and I can't change it :S

This is weird, lol.
