Left-brained or right-brained

So, apperantly, whether you see percieve this girl as rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise can determin whether you're a left or right brain person. Me-thinks it's a no-brainer: Of course she spins clockwise.

So, what do you people see?

...uhhh.......hypothetically; if I see her spinning counter-clockwise; what would that divulge about me?

Anders said...

Ahh... Let's give the rest of the posse a chance to chime in, and I'll post what's what.

(Basically, when I take personallity test, I end up sounding like a cold hearted psyco, so that your result differs from mine, may not be a bad thing...)

Anders said...

I see her spinning counter-clockwise

Btw, how can you see that? In these kind of things, I can usually see it "both ways" if I make an effort. In this case, I can't. She spins clock-wise.

Since it's a picture of nude girl, it means you're gay.

(Man, I always come up with those snappy "Dice-like" onliners waaaay to late for them to be funny)

Anders said...

Hey, I can now see her spin both ways! I don't know what that means, but it take some time.

Oh well, that's another 10 minutes I won't get back...

Cathy said...

I see her spin both ways too. Took me less than 10 minutes to see that though . But the first impression was that she spinned counter-clockwise. So, what does ambidextrous brain tell about us Anders?

Wilhelm said...

...are ya meaning to tell me that y'all fine folks spent ten minutes staring at the picture?

Damn; I only glanced at the image until I realized it rotated counter-clockwise, and moved on....

So what does that tell about me?

Wilhelm said...

Side note: When I watched the Youtube clip below, the shadow was in my eyesight, and the shadow appeared to rotate clockwise....

Anders said...

Nope, not the fine folks. Only me. Because I don't have a life outside the 'net...

Anders said...

I have no idea. But it is kinda scary...

She spins counter-clockwise

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

She spins clockwise

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

All according to: http://info.break.com/static/live/v1/pages/brain/brain.html

I'm happy to see that I'm a "feelings" kind of person, with no logic and no talent within science and maths. (Which doesn't come as a surprise to those who know me, I guess). Glad I don't need any of that...

But then again, I'm willing to take risk. Which I guess is not a good thing since I'm clueless about logic...

Wilhelm said...

......"but.....I bought you pizza..."

Classic Dice

So I'm a math and science kinda guy. What a freakin' surprise. If only I'd chosen a profession to go with my logic orientation...

Anders said...

I was surprised that I didn't end up in that category. I usually do. It explains a lot, though...

Cathy said...

So logically I use details and facts from both the past and the future to prove I can comprehend math and science. Knowing that I acknowledge order/patterns and know reality based objects names I form strategies to keep safe.

....thought it'd be fun to make a long meaningless phrase out of that list of "left-brain functions"...oh JEEZ, I left out the "words and language" part...:P

Anders said...

"...oh JEEZ, I left out the "words and language" part...:P

That's because you didn't see the "big picture"...
;-)

Wilhelm said...

...but now I sometimes see the figure rotating clockwise when I open the blog page......

Does this mean that if my logic is somehow impeded one day - like if I'm working on the pedagogical training whatever - I'll see it rotating clockwise, whereas if I'm having a full day of MatLab, it'll rotate counter-clockwise?

Cathy said...

Yes, I "get it", it's a matter of spatial perception :)
Meanwhile, that poor lady's still spinning. She must be cold and tired now...

Wilhelm said...

..yet somehow I don't care...

8-D

Anders said...

I don't know about how accurate these kind of tests are, but one thing really strikes me:
Does the figure that spins have to be a figure of a nekkid lady to make it work? Somehow, I don't think so...

Wilhelm said...

LOL

Very good point, A-man

Wilhelm said...

Are ya saying that this is the closest to naked women that the "guys" who do this kind of computer thing gets without money exchanging hands, Anders?

..'cause I have to say; that would be quite the callous statement...

Anders said...

I don't know. That's because I don't "uses logic", can't "comprehend" and are not "reality based". But on the plus side, I'm fantasy based, which is a good thing when you're not living in the real world. Somehow feel that the people who spend all this time creating the outline of a spinning nekkid woman also share these characteristics...

Wilhelm said...

.....dammit........

Now the direction in which the figure rotates actually changes with what I'm doing at the moment.

Anders said...

Oh, she went back and foruth in half turns twice now. What does that mean?

Wilhelm said...

Maybe you're insane, Chief

Anders said...

Sane and insane. That's the same thing as famous and infamous, right?

Wilhelm said...

...just about

Anonymous said...

The foot's shadow indicate that the foot is between you and her body, right?
Erik

Wilhelm said...

Yeah - you can pretty much decide which way the figure is gonna rotate by focusing on the foot.

Sounds weird, but...

Anders said...

And which way would that be?

Wilhelm said...

Any way you damn well please, A-train

Anders said...

YES! Now I'm getting it. I can finally make her spin any way I want.

(Alright, I know that's a whole lot of double entendre's in just one comment, but we're all mature enough to handle this, right?)

Me too! Cool! Does that mean that if we focus together and make her spin in different directions at the same time she'll stop?
