good morning my cute little teacher...hahaha....i don't know which direction i saw...sometimes it look clock wise,but after i closed my i and opened back,it looked spin opposite site...maybe i used both of my brain...hahahaha...hurm...actually i like to used my left brain,but sometimes my right brain is more powerful...hahaha...so..i agree with the result...because i was a logical thinker...used more fact and knowledge then my imagination...i also think the better way before done somethings...and the most thing that show me a right brain user is i like mathematic and science...hahaha....

Assalamualaikum,Miss Intan.

At first I saw it spinning anti-clockwise.But after a moment,I just see it clockwise.From the web it says we have to focus to change it direction but I don't know how I can change it direction without focusing.It makes my head spinning too after 4 times changing it direction.huhuhu.Maybe I used both of side of my brain or maybe more on the right side.I love art,it needs an imagination.Also,I can remember the picture or symbol more than a word.Besides that,to remember or understand something I always imagine it then I will use logic after.Whatever it is,this thing is fun.

yes...i think i get it..
the turning point of the dancer..
i watch this clip three times to to "reveal" the secret..
haha..
first, I saw it turns anti-clockwise..the it follow by turning clockwise direction. the point is..
look at the leg and the hand of the dancer..
when turning anti clock-wise, the dancer is turning together with her left- hand side and wih her left leg..and when ,it turns in clockwise direction,her right- hand side and her right leg turning along too..
i guess..that why we can't see the change of the direction of the dancer clearly..
I guess I use my left brain more..
I like to learn and know something "new" to me..
I have the curiousity inside of me..and I think i'm always in a logical thinking whenever I make my own decision..
Through this clip..
then only realise that I used my left brain more..
It really a very long time.. as i have carry my own brain for more than 20 years..
oh,funny..haha..

salm..good night...
hehehe...
hmm...when first time i saw that picture..i saw clockwise..then after a while, i saw it's anti-clockwise..maybe i use both of my brain..hehehe...but the result is more the clockwise than the anti-clockwise..so it's mean i more use the right brain right??
hmm..for that result..i don't know which one i hv to agree..
huhuhu..
actually i agree that my right brain is more uses than left brain..huhu...but the information about the right brain...hmmm.. i don't know that's is related to me or not..hehehe..

that's all from me..thank you 4 reading my comment...7_8..

Initially, when I looked at the dancer, without any doubt I concluded that the dancer is spinning anticlockwise. So I'm a left brain user. Then, I went through the criteria of the left brain users. There were certain points that I would agree with while others are cannot accepted as for me. Basically, I'm a very practical person. For instance I don't really about the existence of luck or fortune. Next, I like mathematics and science even though some times I end up getting wrong answers when I'm attempting the mathematic questions. Besides that, I capable of possessing the word and language based subjects quickly. But, I tend to become a fantasy based person whenever I watch the fantasy oriented stories such as Enchanted. Since I also resemble the characteristics of the right brain user, I was so curious to check if I'm able to see the dancer spinning the other way, I observed the dancer with full concentration. YES!! This time I saw the dancer spinning the clockwise. Wow, it was truly amazing.

Hello Miss Intan. What an extraordinary finding of yours? I am really impressed with the website. At first, I was thinking that the dancer in the clip was spinning anti-clockwise but as I scrolled down the page to read more I could see the dancer spinning clockwise. Is this the power of the human brain? Can we actually distinguish clearly the movement generated in the clip if observed with care? How many of us do? This is something that we should pounder about. I do agree that using which side of the brain more ressembles the characterestic of a particular person and what they are capable of as it is scientifically proven. As for me I realise that I use more of my brain on the left side. Perhaps this why I am a reality based person while I trust on logic better than fantasy.

Assalamu'alaikum Miss Intan =)

Emm.. about this Right Brain vs. Left Brain, at first when i look at the picture, i spinning clockwise then after a long while i change into anticlockwise but only for a while then it spinning again with clockwise and again it change back in anticlockwise after a long while. And its continue with the same pattern again and again and again.
What does that suppose to mean?
If based on the result, i supposed to be in the group of right but still a little bit of the left brain. I can agree with the result but there is only one question in my head. If i was in the group of right brain and suppose to use more imagination, the why i can hardly understand the subject of probability that require more imagination.
I guest my question makes me had to end up at here. Thats all from me, thank you =)

Assalamualaikum miss Intan..

This time, i my eyes cannot go away to make sure i am focusing the dancer. At first, i saw it spinning anti-clockwise. Then,I was suprised when i saw it spinning clockwise. How could it be like that? Before this, i thought i can only use my left brain.Now i know that i can use both of my brain. But, it seems that i more prefer to use left brain.I agree with the result. May be some of us does not realize that they can use their right brain. I think i should use both of my brain to avoid me from feel sleeping in the class.hehe..

ana said...

Assalamualaikum..

this statements is true..
if we try to focus, the dancer will chance the position.
at first i saw the dancer, she spinning anti-clockwise but after focus to the dancer, it looked spinning to opposite site.
even i have repeated for many times, i still cant decide either i use right brain or left brain.
maybe, i use both side of my brain..hehe..
before this, my counsellor from my previous school said that i have use left brain more than right brain. maybe its true..huhu..
thats why im here right now, at ump...right miss intan?
a motivator had told me before this that its better for us to balanced our brain..
we should be thankful even we have right brain or left brain because if all humans have use same side brain, no one will be novelist or doctor or accountant.
however, this thing is very funny and so interesting..hehe

hi miss INTAN..

about the right brain vs left brain..

i'm actually confused with position of the dancer..is it clockwise or is it anti-clockwise..

my friends and i start arguing with the position of that dancer..

somebody say clockwise and some tell the opposite site..

for me..
i don't know which site of brain that i use to see that dancer moves,but i think i can see both clockwise and anti-clockwise..
i change in a minute..(if i'm not mistaken..

just now i'm not feeling well..
when i see the dancer my head start spining...

and finally i think i use both of my brain..i think..because i cannot switch my brain when i see the dancer move..what a pity..

i think its enough from me..
i'm afraid you will get headache as i am if you read my comment..

just joking..

thank you..

First and final impression also clockwise.Perhaps i am the people who really use right brain more.According to the link that miss ,it say that right brain function isuses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking
well,i think this is a very special test.I don't know what's the catch behind this.but it did let me know that i use more on my right brain.So some of the point here did fit the description of me .but some don't.For example,i am not the risk taking kind of people.i don't like take risk.I prefer have everything under my control and archive what i wan as outcome of my effort.Anyway is interesting enough for me because it make me spend some times thinking about myself.Whether me is this kind of person or not.I also share it with my friends.They all found it very interesting.So i hope miss will post more this kins of test to let is know more about ourselves.

a very good morning to miss.intan.i watch the clips three times dy.....i cannot conclude which side the dancer turning...at first it spining anti clock wise..but a few minute later it spinning clock wise...i think i m using both side of brains....hhehe..the real thing is its very hard to find the real direction of dancer.. type of brain can ressembles the characteristic of the person.. ..i think i liked to use my left brain..but some of the time i also wil use my right brain..this is because i m practical person..and logical thinker..........i am not an imaginory person and i beleive more in reality..........wathever is this..it is also fun..heheeheee...................

Well, i have get it in clockwise spinning. that's mean i have use strongly to my right brain more than left brain. according to our lecture MIss INTAN, she say that right brain in function like feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking
But, i not so agree with these in certain aspect.
i like mathematic and science more than arts. During my secondary school, i have well score in mathematic and science. From this incident, it show that i like the science more than arts. well, i can't say the test is not true or ineffective, it just confuse me...
well, i will follow my way that not easy influence by others...if i feel it is true.

First time I saw that clip , I think the dancer turning anti-clockwise . After a few seconds , I think the dancer turning clockwise . Can I say in conclusion that the dancer is just turn a round cirlce , haha...I'm really confused . I don't know how to judges the dancer either turn clockwise or anti-clockwise , is that got any skill on looking it ? Please let me know . As I see , I think I'm use my left brain more than right brain . I satisfied with the result , as it seems let me know who am I .

nesh burn said...

wow..the result is 90% true for me.the first time i saw the spinning lady she was spinning counter clockwise..but strangely the second time she was spinning clockwise..odd isn't it..i do agree i'm a right brain user besause i'm not that good in doing maths.and i can't understand anything without symbols and pictures.for me to understand anything i must get the real picture..

Assalamualaikum..
On the first view, it spin clockwise. Am I using my right brain greater than my left brain.maybe it's true.. some people say that left handed person (including me =P) uses right brain.. I don't know whether it's true or not. The article wrote that right brain people uses feeling. I think that is quite true. Ever since I made a decision, I always consider about others. Feeling really influnce my decisions. The other functions I am not really sure about that.

assalaimualaikum...
n very good morning everyone especially miss Intan..
emm so interesting and new knowledge for me..
thanks miss...
relating this article, firstly i think the human which is using the right brain is more genius compare using the left brain.but after i read the web side about right brain vs left brain its showing both of two brain have certain function.
when i see the dance it spinning clockwise.second i see its also spinning clockwise.i don't know which one my brain use for thinking. i not sure maybe i use one side brain to think or not. certain time i using the left brain in uses mathematics and science subject that its each one important for my cos chemical industry.but certain time i also use right brain to feeling.as conclusion i must use both of this brain to thinking in my life..
that's all..
thank you

actually it is interesting topic and i have learned something new from the pictures statement.at first,i look the girl spinning clockwise.then i take a time for a while i saw she's spinning anticlockwise.i don't know when and how she changes her turning.it's so confusing me.as we know,based on the Roger Sperry theory,our brain is divided to two parts left and right hemisphere brain.supposedly the result i looking the girl is more spinning clockwise but actually i realized i like to used my left brain than right brain.i'm really confused and confused.so,i do my left and right brain quizzes and i got the left brain user result.maybe it's 85% true.for example,i like mathematics and sciences and i don't like literature.but sometimes i have use my right brain like being imagination and subjectives person.i don't know what brain i used.maybe i used both of them.personally,i think we should not suspect to use only one of our brain but we must used both of our brain.we must balanced our positives and negatives thinking,it's very useful to us to get benefit from their functions.as a conclusion,both of side brain is very important.

Ermm..my result is i just only can see the dancer turns to clockwise.When i saw the result for this test for me is i should be the person who use more left brain than my right brain.Actually i am not sure this result wheter is correct or not,but i can said that is not suit for me.I love science very much.I like mathematics also and i dislike art at all.Since i am primary school,i always get the low marks on my art subject.I can said that i always get the high marks on my science subject compare with the art subject.My ambitious is be a scientist since i was young.So how come that i "like" art?The other point is i also don't like to take risk.I like stable life.However,there are also have a few point is quite right for me like appreciate and imagination.I like to imagine the things haven't occur in this world.I also like to imagine the funny things in my daily life.So,am i agree this result for me?I think is depends on certain condition.

cva said...

After minutes of careful observation i have came to the conclusion that I am a right brain user. Although I tend to see the dancing lady to spin in the anti-clockwise motion but I usually see her to spin in the opposite direction more often. For further prove I can relate some qualities of a right brainer to myself as an example I love to take risks. Most of the time I end to against the odds although I know the percentage of success is low. So with that I am prude to identify myself as a right brain person.

Assalamu'alaikum.

The picture was cheating at me. huhu. But why?

My result is 50-50. Sometime i look it spin counter-clockwise and sometime clockwise. Maybe my position is half in left brain's group and half in right brain's group. Am i a flexible person? wow!!! Never thought about it.

Actually the picture can manipulated our way of thinking and seeing. It's true, if someone see it spinning more clockwise than anti-clockwise, he or she is a competent in using one side of his or her brain. Try to use both side of your brain!!!

Salam..

At first when I saw the picture, it does really make me confused. After a moment I realize the dancer was spinning in different direction which is clockwise and anticlockwise. I guess I have used left brain more than right brain based on the result after I finished watch it. I quite disagree with the brain left function. Maybe my character much more similar for the brain right function. I think so..haha..
For me it doesn’t matter whether we used right or left brain as long as we try our best to use the brain in a good way..
I think that’s all..
thank you..

assalamu'alaikum,...

hye miss intan and all my friend,...

For the first time, I saw the dancer was spin in clockwise only,...then I try to ask my roomate what they saw at the dancer,...they said, they can saw a both direction, clockwise and anti-clockwise,...on the other day, I saw again this web and I try to focus,...so,I get the same result as my roomate,...I can saw the dancer spin at the clockwise and anti-clockwise,...First time I saw, I think the dancer was cheating at me,...but, when I read the explaintion about left brain and right brain function, I think can use a both,...but I really weak in imagination in something,...hehe,...

as hidayah said,...as long as we can use our brain in a good way,... it enought for me,....

that's all,...thank you,...=)

Hello Miss. I would like to thank you for giving us a chance to test our brains abilities. It took me sometime to identified which way does the dancer is actually turning. At first, I saw her turning towards the left or anticlockwise. After a while I came to a conclusion that the dancer is actually turning on the both side. First, she turns towards the left. While turning towards the left, she raise up her right hand. It goes the same when she turns towards the right. She raise up her left hand while turning towards the left.
In a nutshell, I found out that I am a left brain user. I am not sure whether I have all the characteristics mention for the left brain user. But it is an interesting web site where we can know about our real characters.

Hi…..Right brain versus left brain… it’s really interesting. Fuh…its actually tiring my mind when I keep on watching the movement of the dancer to make sure it spinning right or spinning left. First of all, when I looked at the dancer, I feel like it spinning anticlockwise. But then, my friend said it actually spinning clockwise. I argued her and I keep on looked at the dancer. Then, I feel that I’m wrongly watching it because it moves to the right. After that, then only I realize that it’s actually depends on how we looking and which brain user we are. Then only I get know that it is actually a small test for our brain to know more about ourselves. It’s really interesting and thanks to Miss Intan for coming up with new activities. So now I get to know that I’m a left brain user. According to the criteria that have given, I feel that some are suitable for me. For example, I liked mathematics and science subject. Since when I was small, I loved mathematics a lot. It helps me to build up my mind when each time I do exercises regarding the mathematics questions. I loved science subject too because it’s challenging and also can let me to think more about it. Finally, I would like to tell that some people’s character is based on the brain that they used. It might be not same, but then some are similar to our character. That’s all from me. Thank you.

Hello miss intan..

From my opinion, i actually disgree with that statement using left and right brain.. i think, its the same wether u use a left brain or your right brain..
its just using your eye and see which way its spin ..
clockwise or opposite..

its easy to determine for me...
if you see from front u will that its a clockwise.. but if u see from bottom of your eye..
you will see that its anti clockwise.. if you think u use your left or right brain.. its just your imagination..
ahahahhaa..
dont laugh coz thats only my opinion ... =)

Its kind of interesting topic.. =)
