Which Side Are You?


I'm no fancy blogger, so this will probably show up all messed up, but I found it really interesting. If just the picture shows up, click on it and it should open in a new window. If you can't see it, here's the website:
It's a test to see which side of the brain you use. If you see the dancer turning clockwise, you are right-brained, and if counter-clockwise, more left-brained. Both-then you're awesome. Haha. Surprisingly I am COMPLETELY right-brained(makes me wonder why I'm studying engineering!!), as I can ONLY see the dancer going one way. Hope you find it interesting, too.

And amazingly, I finally was able to see the dancer the other way! I guess there's some science in me afterall:)

That is so cool! I can only see her moving to the right, of course... Superfly, Janie!
P.S. - I thnk you are officially a fancy blogger, now :)!

Amanda said...

Okay, that is totally crazy - I can't stop looking at it - I keep checking to see which way its going, and it will randomly switch. Janie, look what you've done :).

Lorena said...

I can't do it.... I only see it turning to the right!!!!!!!!

how did you do it?

Amanda said...

Lorena, I'm shocked... "uses feeling," "imagination rules," "symbols and images," "can 'get it,'" "believes," "appreciates," "impetutous," "risk taking." You?

Olivia said...

Lorena said...

Ok Olivia,
