Naked Girl Dancing
Posted by mindedit on October 24, 2007
Ok, here’s a scientific experiment I conducted at work involving a group of guys looking at a naked girl dancing.
A big ‘holla’ to Silverbacks who posted this.
I have to admit that the image shows what looks like a girl, but there’s no telling if she actually is naked or actually if she is dancing. Spinning would be more accurate.
Okay, so having had a disagreement with my sister as to which way the girl was turning, I thought I’d ask a few more people what they saw. So I put the image of the dancing girl on my pc desktop at work and asked all and sundry which way they thought the girl was turning if you were looking down at her from above, clockwise or anti-clockwise.
The idea being that if you see her turning clockwise you are predominantly right-brained and left-brained if you see her turning anti-clockwise.
So what way do you see her turning?
8 out of 9 Phd students saw her turning clockwise! I was surprised. The original page gives descriptions of traits that left and right brained people have. I really did think that most would be left brained, but there you go.
How sad is this though, I’ve seen it so much now that I can close my eyes and decide which way I want her to turn. And she does!
Also, if I don’t look directly at her she sort of sways from sided to side.

That test is popping up all over the place and I have no evidence that it’s legit.
My theory: it’s just an excuse to look at a possibly-nude lady in sillouhette as she spins gracefully in a clockwise circle.
And it IS clockwise! No arguing!

LOL, I think you’ll find that this is proper science and having evidence of its legit-ness doesn’t come into it, it’s neither here nor there.
The first part of your theory, being an excuse to look at possibly-nude lady, has merit. I’ll put it forward for peer review.

Here’s a more revealing test I devised using this as base.

Sometimes its clockwise sometimes its anticlockwise.

Funny you brought this out. I posted it on the 16th. Didn’t think it was quite the hit.

I like how your putting your students to good use as guinea pigs.
