Which side of the brain do you use most?

This is a great Right Brain vs Left Brain Test!

Ok ready?

Now click on this photo...
Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or counter-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 counter-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

I'm curious to see the results of this poll from you tangueros and tangueras.

* Please vote when you are done.




* For those of you, who didn't get enough, here's a more in-depth Right/Left Brain test.

It's free but just remember to click "Skip all Offers" at the top of the page when you are done to get your results.

FINAL POLL RESULTS: (based on 33 votes)
51% Right Brain
30% Left Brain
18% Both

(Hmm....does this conclude that people who dance tango are more right brained??)

That is so cool! I was able to change direction pretty easily, which was neat. It's amazing what the brain is capable of.

Wow. That was cool. Left brain, but that's not a big surprise...

I just put a poll on my blog too (that's a fun little gadget), but I don't know which part of the brain you have to use to figure it out what you should pick.

You'll have to let me know.

Well... I see her turning clock-wise, but every description under left brain column applies to me.

not sure how true this stuff is. I saw it going clockwise, but I am a life scientist (cell biology etc) so either the conclusions are a bit up in the air or I am in the wrong job.

I can only see it counter-clockwise and Malena can see it both ways. Fun little test, ha!

tangobaby said...

Ummm, Eva, I just happened to click on your little picture, or logo, or whatever they call that thing. (An avatar?)

Anyway, that's a pretty sexy little photo! Wow!

Just thought I'd mention it.

Thank you, Eva. I will check out his work and admire his gorgeous curvy women.

Not sure if this has something to do with it but I danced for 6 hours this weekend and when I got home I tried this test again... and this time I see her moving clockwise. Now I am able to change the direction easily. : )

That's confusing! I see the dancer turning clockwise (right side), but I would identify more with the left side list.

Counterclockwise, most definitely. I stared and squinted and focused and looked at it from different angles, but I could never it see it the other way.

Elizabeth Brinton said...

O.K. Well I can only make it go clockwise. I can't figure out how you can make it go counter clockwise at all...I have to stop, it's giving me a headache.

Ok I got it to go both ways.. it started clockwise for me, then i saw it go counter.. and then back to clockwise.. so on so forth. little hint. If you see it go clockwise.. the extended feet's shadow will tell you otherwise.. it seems that the figure just turns counterclockwise. (really for those who see clockwise.. focus of the extended leg's shadpow.. and it will instantly turn the other way around...) and for those who can only see counter.. I'm sorry guys.. can;t halp you.. i guess you'll have to close your eyes... imagine it clockwise.. or keep looking and imagining till it actually changes xD

Yay, I can see the dancer turn both ways, although it may take some time for me to turn see her go anti-clockwise...

:)
Our Brain is soooooo interesting!

Wow, first I saw the dancer counter clockwise then I looked and concentrated and all of a sudden she was moving clockwise. That is so cool. The brain is amazing.
