Right side vs. Left side

by Ryan Barnes on May 20th, 2008
This is a test to see which side of the brain you use more. We all use both sides, but there is a significant amount of difference between the two. Use this image as the test. Which direction do you see the dancer moving, is she spinning clockwise, or counter-clockwise? Please leave a comment on what you see.

If you see her spinning clockwise, then you use your right side more, if not… then you use the left side more. One important thing though, is are you able to see her spin in either direction. If you’re not used to doing this, it can be difficult. One trick would be to hold two sheets of paper up so that you only see her foot, and only her foot. Make sure you leave out the shadow too. Then try to picture you drawing a circle in the opposite direction her foot is spinning. Eventually you should be able to see her foot reverse directions.. then slowly increase what you can see of her. After you’ve done this a few times, try to do it without blocking any of the image. It is a GREAT mental workout!

    I see her moving clock-wise to start then she moves counter-clockwise. So, what does this mean?
