Left Brain verse Right Brain- Which are you?

By
Real Estate Agent with Donna Homes, powered by JPAR - TexasRealEstateMediationServices.com 0480809

Can you see the image?  Can you see her spinning?

Which way is she spinning?  Is she spinning clockwise?  If so, you are using your right brain. 

Is she spinning counter clockwise? If so, you are using your left brain.

Stare at her for a couple of minutes. See if she'll change her direction.  I can see her both ways which means I use both sides of my brain.  My husband and mother can only see it going one way.

Here are some of the differences of left verse right brain:

Left: Logical, Sequential, Rational, Analytical, Objective, Looks at Parts
Right: Random, Intuitive, Holistic, Synthesizing, Subjective, Look at Wholes

Does the direction you see the girl fit you?  Is it opposite you?  Did you stare at it long enough to see if she would change direction? 

Sometimes, when I look at her, she doesn't go in circles anymore as she changes directions so quickly, she's basically just moving back and forth.

I'm curious as to what others see.

Donna, this is tripping me out!!! When I first looked, she was going clockwise, then when I turned away for a minute and looked again - counter clockwise. Tried it a few times, same result.

Leonard, Take some Advil Liqui-Gels and decide when we're grabbing lunch again.  This week is bad, and next Wednesday is bad, but I'm pretty open besides that.

Mike, It is freaky isn't it?  I just don't understand why some people can't get it to change direction at all.

Donna,

I can make her go clockwise or counter clockwise. Sometimes I can make her wave just back and forth. I have always been good at those 3-D pictures too. I am a mother with 2 little boys, what can I say, I have special vision. Ha Ha!

Chris, I have those magic powers too, but they aren't complete yet.  I understand I will get new powers every so often as my daughter gets older.  Right now, I have the awesome power of leaping bounds across the room as I see her climb up on the furniture and then lean back a little too far and head head-first to the floor, but then caught in my arms... though I missed on Saturday and she has a quarter-sized bruise on her forehead as it was on the tile and not the carpet...

Donna,

what your displaying is a two dimensional well shaped pretty woman, which our eyes cannot deciphper versus a 3 dimensional object like a sphere, square or something like that.  try staring at the darker shaded areas and you will likely see her rotate in the oposite direction, she isn't spinning. try and see for yourself, she's bouncing side to side the whole time. you should be able to make her shift quickly with ease. I love weird stuff like this!

No, I'm right handed. But I also found a written test online to take to see if the results matched. We all have both right and left brained traits, but I scored 11 right and 6 left so I am definitely more right than left brained. My son (15) could see it rotate both ways, and when he took the written test he was pretty evenly matched in right and left brain traits, which makes sense since he could see it spin both ways!

OMG, I just tried Greg Ninos idea of looking at the upper right hand corner of the picture, the gray shaded area, and she switched. Now I can make her switch back and forth! Cool!

I will admit I had her spinning clockwise, then I went to scroll down to comment and she changed.  It sort of was strange.  Interesting!

Donna:  While staring at her... I have seen her spin both left to right and right to left... counter clockwise, and then clockwise.  And... if I stare at her... I get to the point where I can see whichever way I prefer.  Not quite sure what that means... LOL.

By the way... no matter which way she is spinning... I sure wish my body looked like hers... :)

Greg, I tried the whole look at the grey to make it change and it didn't work automatically like that, just sparatic.

Kelly, It's all about letting down your guard and trying to not predict what will happen.

Tony & Darcy, Good to see you using both sides.

Karen, I think many women wished their bodies look like that!

It's not a game, it's your life.

It took a few moments but after convincing myself it was possible (really, it was reading the posts where others saw it) I was able to change her to counter-clockwise.  Very neat post!

Girl, I see her spinning counter clockwise. That makes me left-brained:  Logical, Sequential, Rational, Analytical, Objective, Looks at Parts.... Yup, that's me. 100%

I saw this a while ago on another post and it did not change the whole time I watched it.  This time it has changed back and forth.  Interesting, it seems to be right brain most of the time, but I am also very left brained. 

I too would like to have body like that.

Doreen, I think it sometimes changes based on mood.

I see both ways, but I may not have enough brain left after this year in real estate...

Well, according to this situation, since I see her only spinning clockwise, I guess that I am right brained.  However, if you ask anyone who knows me, I am not random, intuitive, holistic, or any of those things.  I am definately more logical, sequential, rational, and analytical.  Now what?

Additional Information



This blog is to help educate Buyers, Sellers and even other Realtors across the country.  Each market is different and the way Real Estate is done is different.  Austin Real Estate is completely different than Dallas, California and Florida and everywhere else in between.  Some times there will be other things besides real estate as I like to rant and rave as much as the next!!  Come back often!
