1. It is claimed that children cannot see the couple because they don’t have such images in their primary memory and instead, see nine dolphins.
Note: This is a test for “dirty minds”. It is said that if you need more than 3 seconds to see the dolphins, then there is a kind of… problem!
2. Most people who see this image tend to go up the left stairs and go down the right stairs. This reaction is likely to be influenced by the western way of reading from left to right. While those who read from right to left, like the Arabs, tend to give the opposite answer.
3. There is a claim that if you managed to find the man in 3 seconds, then the right part of your brain is more developed than in the average person. If you found him in about 1 minute, it is believed that the right part of your brain is of the average person. If you needed more than 1 minute to find him, the right part of your brain is said to be slow.
However, there is no evidence to support this claim. But this illusion is still effective if you want to train your attention to detail.
4. According to a popular interpretation, if you see the girl rotating clockwise, then you are using the right hemisphere of your brain at the moment, and vice versa.
However, in reality, the direction of the girl’s rotation is not associated with the function of your brain hemispheres. You can learn more details about it in this article about the spinning girl illusion.
There is no evidence that the above images indeed reveal how your brain hemispheres work. However, they are still fascinating optical illusions that can be used to train your brain!
For example, with the help of the first and the third pictures, you can train your attention to detail. Try to find as many dolphins as you can and find the man’s head as fast as you can.
Look at the second and the fourth images and try to consciously change the direction of the stairs or the spinning girl’s rotation.

at 1 i didnt saw the dolphins and at 3 i've found the man at 3-4 seconds . what does it mean , according to this test ?
the 3d one means that your right hemisphere is normally developed. didn't you see the dolphins at all?? i mean after reading the answer and going back to the primary picture (without red circles showing where the dolphins are) can you see them?
girl changes its direction of rotation..
i mean her direction of rotation.. sry for d mistake :p
if i scroll the rotating girl into view from the bottom i can see her rotating counter-clockwise.. but when all the picture is on the screen the instant that i open my eyes after blinking she moves clockwise again. problem with the doplhins.. can't see just the dolphins. stairs.. chose left to go down cause they seemed more lit up couldn't find any other way of looking at it. the man among the coffee beans i saw in about 10-15 seconds
With the rotating girl. You can see both directions by changing your perspective. focus from the top of her head down and youll get one direction. Focuse from the bottom of the foot up and youll get another direction.
