You might well have heard of this through email or whatever already, but here goes...

Raise your right leg.

Rotate your right foot clock-wise.

With your right hand, draw the number 6 in the air.



Did you manage to do that without your foot rotating anti-clockwise?
I read about this in the newspaper today. For most people, their foot will rotate anti-clockwise when they try to draw the 6. A small number of people can keep their foot rotating clock-wise. I am one of those people. Apparently it's all something to do with the brain.

And, hehe, it's my first poll. Yay. =)

I didn't mess up. I guess it's because I have a more sophisticated brain. I read somewhere about this test once, that people who can do both are more intelligent, catch on more quickly, and are the envy of others. Don't deny it, you're all jealous of me.

Grr, I could not do it. As soon as I even started to THINK about drawing the 6 my foot stopped rotating!

No rotation...I hear this is how they choose new members of MENSA.

I could do it, but my foot only rotates about 90 degrees, then I had to stop. Those of you who could "keep rotating" are freaks possessed by Linda Blair.

Nope, my foot did not anti-clockwise. I guess my time doing YOGA has helped.

I did it, but it was hard. The more tired my foot got, the more it wanted to go anticlockwise...

The two are not mutually exclusive.

If we're already in MENSA would they disqualify us if we couldn't do that?

I was able to do the rotation thing with no problem, so that is a hypothetical situation....no MENSA membership, no comment on qualification for it.
