The Dancer Brain Test

Posted on October 4, 2007October 4, 2007 by Chris McQuillan

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test … do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

    If you close your left eye it is anti-clockwise, if you close your right one it is clockwise.

    Again, not for me.

    Both eyes appear clockwise.

    Please look at the shadow, it never follows the leg that is in the air

    I can only see it clockwise. Although I *think* I saw it going anti once. Does this have any truth in it? I guess the RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS do describe me though. Is this a trick? Does it move the other way? Or does it just change direction randomly?

    im seeing it both ways, originally I see it clockwise and then if I move the page down and back up again it’ll have changed

    the blinking thing from further up the comments kinda works

    I really don’t get the whole changing the direction thingy though, how does that actually work!?

    The dancer does not randomly change direction and it is not a trick. I watched it with a group of friends and some of us saw it one way while others saw it another.
