which way is the woman spinning?

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities

To her right (clockwise) and frankly I can't see how anyone would see counter-clockwise. This makes me the opposite of what I would say about myself (logic, science, ect.)
[I also see her tiny nipples.] |

clockwise for me too, which I wouldn't necessarily expect, but I'm ambidextrous. Saying that, I can't make her go anti-clockwose at all.
My wife sees her go anti-clockwise, but can alternate it.

On first glance, clockwise. When I read the rest of it and looked again, counterclockwise. I suppose logic took over. I'm left handed, by the way.

i get clockwise when i first look. those descriptions are as bad as horoscope predictions though. probably worse, because they put people in to just 2 categories.
yeah man, i totally comprehend stuff.
appreciates? i'm an amazing appreciator. i'm well right brained. this thing is amazing!!!1

it's fairly well documented which parts of the brain dominate which functions. The variation is probably more in ourselves with noone truly being one or the other.

Tell you what. I'll check it out again in a couple of hours after I return from drinking heavily with a couple of other moms from my kid's class.

this is freaking me out. this afternoon i could only see clockwise. (and i'm a righty.) then i just checked it out again and could only see counterclockwise. it took me a while to flip it. seems like i have to look away and then just focus on the feet or head. when i see her moving clockwise her left leg is moreless stationary (pointing straightdown). when i see her moving counterclockwise i see her right leg as being stationary....i think that makes sense. i'm getting dizzy now.

Clockwise-righty. FB must attract right-brainers. Right-brain functions are obviously cooler!

clockwise, then i can flip it pretty easy but find it hard to flip back.
note: when i get her going counter-clockwise it looks like the leg she balances on is going clockwise still and "resets" when the heel touches.
i am right handed.

neither/both.
the back of her whilst seeing her go clockwise = mirror image of the front of her whilst seeing her go anti-clockwise.
if you cover her up so you only see her legs, try to think of it on a 2D plane. one leg is just swinging left to right and back whilst the other is just revolving in the middle. in 3D, you can either see that as the leg going clockwise (in front of other leg on a right to left swing) or anti-clockwise (in front on a left to right swing).
reading the above, do you really think i'm a right brainer? fuck that.

It's a foreground/background thing, no? Still can't make her switch though.

well you did just present possibilities, and you analysed the thing philosophically (on a string line of thought), and i can sense you are using your "feeling" in you self-assessment as left -brainer.

I'm not convinced it proves anything left/right brain, but I've managed to make the girl kick back and forth 180 degrees, back and forth. I've always had a talent for them magic eye pictures. Perhaps a partial lazy eye is key.
