Mind-bending optical illusion reveals whether you’re left or right brained – how many watermelons are there?
A MIND-BENDING optical illusion reveals whether you are left or right brained depending on how many watermelons you can see.
The brain delegates tasks across the two hemispheres, the right and the left.
It’s widely understood that the right side of the brain is creative while the left is more technical.
Many assume one side is more dominant depending on the person – similar to handedness.
Optical illusions and personality tests have been developed for identifying strengths and weaknesses that might suggest a person’s dominant hemisphere.
This deceiving brain teaser shows several sliced watermelons – and puzzlers are asked to figure out how many there are in total.
Some of the juicy fruits have a sizeable chunk cut out of them while others have been sliced in half.
And the total number you come up with can determine whether you are left or right brained.
How many can you see?
Eight, six and five are the most common answers.
If you think there are eight watermelons in the image, you are left brained.
And being left brained means you are objective and analytical.
The left brain is also the more logical side, so these people tend to be more careful.
Meanwhile, it turns out you are right brained if you can only spot five or six watermelons.
People who are right brained are naturally creative, with active imaginations.
These people are drawn to art, performance, and music, and often like to be spontaneous.
