Me and Rainey aren't too far off. I knew there was a reason I liked you!

That's pretty neat Caleb!   You've got me beat on the visual and I beat you on the auditory, we could take over the world if we combine our super powers together!

I am like Kate. When I first looked at her she spun counterclockwise. I closed my eyes and opened them and she now spun clockwise. By opening and closing my eyes she would often change directions. I am also ambidextrius (spel?) as I bat left or right, throw right, eat with my left hand, hold a hockey stick in my right and my dominent kicking foot is left.

I must say some of the questions of the test were odd and I didnt really think there was a good answer so in many of them I kinda just guessed. Often the first answer seemed the most "logical" but some I just picked anything. I am not sure how they figure the test shows that a person is "auditory" when there are no actual hearing type questions.

There are no answers... just your personal perception.
The test tells whether your right or left dominant, along with visual or auditory dominance.
It also 'assess' the results both as a number and in text.

let me rephase:

I had trouble selecting/perceiving what I thought was MY best answer.

Maybe its a decisive prob I have.

I never liked "tests".

Ok, the girl spinning..  STUPID.  it was randomly spinning both directions, I had dan look at it, and we both saw it speed up and then swap directions.  there is NO way we both think the same way. 


ITS A JOKE.

[kola]

there ya have it! 

[Puke]

ITS A JOKE.

No, it's an optical illusion. It just takes a little thought about how you think it should be moving and then you brain compensates and you perceive the change. I can only perceive a direction change when the outstretched leg was blocked by the other leg.

Your brain translates a 2D image into a 3D one from context. It does this all the time. The image is a silhouette of a woman and since human beings appear to be bilateral symmetric from the outside (we're not actually bilateral symmetric due to differences in internal organs but that's technical biology terminology), there is no way to tell just from a silhouette which way she is facing. Therefore, the image is ambiguous. She could be facing away with one leg out or facing toward you with the other let out. I'm not sure how clockwise vs. ctr-clockwise works into brain dominance, but presumably right-brained people have a predisposition for that direction for some reason.

One way to get it to switch directions is to stare at the foot and try to imagine it switching directions. It's a simpler image so your brain is likely to be a little less "prejudiced" and then once you see it spinning the other way, look up and the woman will be spinning the other way.

I checked it out.   I agree with Kola.  Some of the questions were hard to answer, I didn't like any of the answers.

That's the brain dominance working.

Try this one.
5+5=
A. 1010
B. TEN
C.10

The answers are actually all correct, but the brains perception of the correct anwer helps determine how neural function resolved the issue. 'C' would be with logical function. 'B' would be with abstract function. And 'A' of course is binary. The discomforting feeling of no right answer generally comes from the answers that someone with the opposite neural processing would feel comfortable with.

[dalebert]

Yeah, I think you're distressing unnecessarily about trying to pick the "right" answer. It's more about feelings, particularly when they're just showing images of shapes and different colors. They're all showing some kind of association to the original image so it's just a matter of which association stands out the most to you. What feels right to you?
