I saw a link on Angela Hunt’s site that has been making me crazy.?? It is a test to determine your right/left brain dominance.?? Does the dancer move clockwise or counterclockwise??? Everytime I opened this link, she ALWAYS moved counter but the description says if you try hard you can get her to move the other direction.?? Not liking to lose:), I kept going back to it.?? Two days ago she was dancing clockwise on me!?? I determined that the whole thing was a hoax and the dancer actually does change patterns.?? Yesterday, just to substantiate my theory, I asked Jodi and Jamie to watch it with me.?? We all saw something different at the same time!??
I am predominantly left brained but some right.?? Jamie was more left brained than I and Jodi more right brained.?? Try it!?? It’s fun.

That’s so cool!
When I first saw it she was turning clockwise but I tried for a long time and I can make her switch. I just have to look at the side of my screen and watch her out of the corner of my eye. Then, when I look back she is going the other way. (Is that cheating?) 🙂
I have no idea how she could be going counter clockwise – she is CLEARLY going clockwise. And to think that if I stare long enough I can make her switch? No clue how that could happen.
Thats what I initially wrote – then I clicked back to see if I could do it – I got her to change:) Its like one of those 3D magic eye pictures – if you stare long enough you see it. I, too, had to move to the side of the screen to see it happen and as soon as I thought I had her definitely going Counter and moved in front of the screen, she switched back to clockwise.
Do those left/right brain descriptions fit you and Jamie and Jodi? The right brain fits me.
sorry – i’m not buying it. i saw her change MULTIPLE times…. the change is in the editing. if you stare long enough you see what was MADE to change, they only make you THINK you are seeing something magical because you believe what they wrote. THAT is what i think after watching a few minutes, seeing the *magical* change then thinking “no way”… keep watching, she keeps changing.
i wonder who is laughing at people now. 🙂
I actually looked at this the other day, it was on the AOL homepage and what I saw was the girl moving in 2 different directions. If you look at her when she is moving in different direction her opposite foot is lifted. So to me it was clearly a hoax. Why would her foot switch too, but it does. I also took the little quiz to see which side of the brain I used more and I was 49% on one side and 51% on the other. Don’t know if that has anything to do with it.
my comment is in moderation. hmmm… i wrote once then started to think i should give it one more try.
i actually got to wear i could see her doing a figure 8 with the raised leg. forwards/backwards/forwards/backwards… OH MY! WHAT DOES THAT MAKE ME? DOUBLE BRAIN OR NO BRAIN AT ALL??? 😉 HA! i must be a lefty for having to check the facts multiple times… and maybe a righty for seeing weird things. (or did i just have too much coffee???)
oh sarah.. what are we to do. this is weird and my brian is weird.
But Heidi Jodi Jami and I all saw her switch patterns while we were watching BUT NOT at the same time and NOT in the same directions so doesn’t that eliminate the hoax theory? Before that, I thought it was a hoax too. And yes Jana, it did match our personalities well:). I am pretty left brained most of the time.
so doni, what do you think it means if i can see her switch back and forth on each turn – repeatedly making a figure 8 with the foot?
It can only mean one of two things. 1. You are AMAZING. 2. You have multiple personality disorder! Hee hee!
Other than the fact that we are all staring at a naked lady – It looks like editing to me as well. I can see her stall and then turn the opposite direction. If I look off the page to the left, she pauses and changes. What I don’t understand is how two people can be watching at the same time and see her going in two opposite directions??!! OK Doni, stop encouraging people to watch this naked lady!!!!
I apologize!!!! To be perfectly honest, that point didn’t catch my attention until today! Oops.
i actually did notice the naked thing… or maybe it’s a REALLY TIGHT black body suit???? ha!
(i’m sure it’s the multiple personality thing) 😉
Ok,I saw it both ways also. I thought it was a ‘edited switcher-oo’ too UNTIL I scrolled down the page a tad so that the kids wouldn’t notice she was naket (extra safety I guess) and when I did I could only see her legs from thigh down. WHEN YOU DO THIS YOU CAN ACTUALLY SIT AND WATCH HER SWITCH FROM GOING LEFT TO RIGHT. IF YOU LOOK LEFT IT WILL CHANGE LEFT,IF YOU LOOK RIGHT IT WILL CHANGE RIGHT over and over and over and over again. So..cut her in half and watch. LOL 😉
ROFL..now I see the front figure eight thingy Heidi sees.
This is hilarious!!!
I was stairing at her feet when I saw it – so your ‘bottom half only’ thing makes sense. 🙂 Kristy – since you have the same issue I do, I am thinking that it’s not the personality disorder after all… MAYBE WE JUST SHARE A BRAIN! 😉
Ya know Heidi,we have discussed this quite a few times in the past,and now I think since we’ve both taken the ‘brain’ test it concludes that we do indeed share a brain so therefor we ARE related after all!! 😉 I KNEW I had a sister out there somewhere and that my mom wasn’t so cruel as to leave me with 3 brothers my whole life 😉 HA!
so there. it’s fact. 🙂
I saw what Heidi saw. She switched several times, strange. I need a better test to determine if I am right or left. With this one I must be both. WOW! LOL
Jere’
Ok that is just too cool, I had to comment. So as I was watching her she switched once. and I couldn’t get it to switch back. So I started looking at the list of each side of the brain and I decided to test it. So I looked away from the screen and started adding and multiplying in my head, and I looked back and she was going the other way. Then I looked away and started thinking about how much I love my family and my Lord Jesus, and looked back and she had started moving the other way. I kept testing this with various thought patterns and it was consistently switching the direction! That is way too cool!!! Just HAD to comment!
WOW! THAT is cool marla!
boy I’ve missed much conversation on this! 🙂 I too directed friends to watch this and it’s been so fun! The other day I picked Sam up from our youth pastors house (they were watching him) and both he and his wife were amazed they could look and see two different things. I did have to laugh because Mark looked at me and said “well no matter which way she goes she needs to put a dress on!” LOL 😀
I have only once been able to make her switch and I got so excited she switched back right away. I’m a clock wise gal all the way. I guess I’m just to darn sensitive! 😉
I am kind of late getting to this but I agree with Jana no way does this lady go anyway but clockwise. Well I guess Jana did see her move but not me. I stared at this women and can’t get her to move any other way. This kind of stuff frustrates me!! But I definitely fit in the right brain category.
It’s kind of like those pictures that you are supposed to stare at that look like a bunch of waves but if you look long enough it turns into a whale or something. I hate those pictures! The whole time I am starring I am thinking why do I want to work this hard to see a whale. Maybe that’s why I don’t see it LOL! Anyway I have the time change sillies, apparently.
