How We Think

Did you know that there is a set eye pattern that defines how we think and what were thinking about? My friend found this out from somebody and we tried it out. Not only did it completely work, but it was impossible to do not do it (at least for him.)

When we think and attempt to answer a question our eyes move a lot. We don't ever think about it because it's the natural thing to do, but I've never realized it until he actually told me it. There's a specific pattern to it too.
Up Left: You're making a list of possibilities in answer to that question.
Up Right: You're envisioning yourself put into that situation so that you can answer the question "first hand."
Up Straight: You're struck by sudden inspiration that you know without a doubt will work.
Left to Right: You're drawing on experiences or knowledge from the past that others have told you.
Any Downward Direction: You're thinking based on the emotions that you feel about that subject.

After reading this list we found out that this is completely true. Our eyes never stop moving when we think. the upward category was based on the left side, or analytical part of your brain. Any downward direction was associated with the right half, or creative side of your brain.

It's also nearly impossible to keep your eyes completely still when answering a question. You either won't be able to come up with a sincere answer (or none at all), or you wont be able to keep your eyes from moving. I was able to do it, but every other person that we tested this on wasn't able to keep their eyes still when we asked them a question that required them to think.

Try it sometime. You'll be surprised.
