The Lady Turning Around: Clockwise, Anti-Clockwise or Both Ways?

Oct 29, 2010 05:30




(The source)

If you see this lady turning clockwise you are using your right brain.
If you see her turning anti-clockwise, you are using your left brain.
Some people can see her turning both ways, but most people see her only one way.

See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain’s current.
If you can switch between seeing her turn either way at will without shifting your gaze, your IQ is above 160 … which is almost at genius level!

This was devised at Yale University for a 5 year study on the human brain and its functions.
Only 14% of the US population can see her move both ways.

A.M.: I can see her doing it both ways, but most of the time she seems to me spinning anti-clockwise, though I noticed on the certain moments then I had to think more visually she seemed to turn to spin clockwise. I can also make her to "switch" the direction of the spinning, but at least on these late hours of night that I`m working on and writing this, it seemed to be easier for me to make her to switch from clockwise to anti-clockwise than the other way round.

A completely different story is who believes in that claim that only 14% of us can do it and that the I.Q. would be above 160. In the scale of U.S.? No offence, but the are official studies about the average intelligence of different nationalities and human groups that even Mensa recognises.

And even the most intelligent ones of us can - at times - act like complete idiots, while the ones we`d like to conciderer imbeciles can have sudden flashes of bright ideas.

Oh yes... And accorgind to an official Mensa test I took part in some years ago - I`m supposed to be well above the average. I just wonder how got that.  O_o

Edit @ 14.44 (aka. 2.44 pm)

I invited  Henrik over my place to check this little brain test our and we had a fun to notice how the difference in the wand hand may affect to the way you see the lady spinning the most of the time.

A.M.: Which way she`s turning around?

Henrik J. Smith: Clockwise.

A.M.: I see anti-clockwise.

H.J.S.: No. Clockwise! Look at her hair now!

A.M.: But I see her tuning anti-clockwise.

A.M.: Wait! Now she turns clockwise!

H.J.S.: I see her anti-clockwise... Just look at her feet.

A.M.: Look at the whole picture. Can you make her swich the turning at your will...

**Henrik tries.**

**Tries again.**

H.J.S.: She turns anti-clockwise.

A.M.: Yeah, now -- wait, she goes again clockwise. Focus on one side of the brains at time.

**Henrik tries again.**

Suddenly a moment of delight.

H.J.S.: She goes clockwise! No, anticlockwise...! Wait clockwise!

A.M.: Anti-clockwise...

A.M.: Now clockwise...

A.M.: And again anticlockwise... See? I can switch it at will.

H.J.S.: She turns clockwise for me.

A.M.: Which way you find to be more rested, relaxed and peaceful?

H.J.S.: Clockwise.

A.M.: Funny. I find the anti-clockwise to be more relaxed. The clockwise turning seems so purposefull, while by turning the anti-clockwise she seems to be chilling.

H.J.S.: Can you please turn that off? It makes my head dizzy...

A.M.: I`ve made your brains confused, haven`t I. **mischievous grin**

So... Can you tell the wand hand for either of us?
