Looks like I'm a leftie - that picture is turning anti-clockwise. I don't see how people could think its turning the other way tbh.

by virtue of the 'imagination' (righty brain)

havent you seen willy wonka? (the original, of course)

No matter how hard I try (I've been at it for fifteen minutes at this stage) I CANNOT see how it could possibly be going anti-clockwise! Guess my brain doesn't like to switch.

Thing is, this test is actually a load of crap. It's a visual effect, not a brain test. The brain doesn't split neatly down the middle either - the different lobes are spread all over the place. You'd be severely impaired if you only used one half of your brain.

Really, the proof that it's a visual thing is that you can trick your eyes to see it dance both ways.

It's also a common misconception that we only use 10% of our brains.

Well we do......

but only at one given moment.

Yep lil sister agrees, we both saw it switch a few times! Cheek.

It keeps switching directions, but then again I cant tell left from right.

For those of you with a left/right bias, concentrate on her big toe on the outstretched foot and you'll see it.

For the life of me I can't figure out how more people didn't see this. Within a minute I had realised that the image changes direction itself. Get two or three people looking at it together and you'll all see her move the same direction at the same time.
Bet you all 'switch' at the same time too.

At first I seem to be a lefty but I seen it in both ways so what does that mean?

KTBFFH · 16-08-2012, 23:24

Clockwise, so a righty....

ash23 · 21-08-2012, 15:54

I looked at it and saw clockwise, Then glanced down and glanced back and it was anti clockwise. And I can see it either way at will.
