Ok, so apparently this is 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
impetuous
risk taking
She only spins anti-clockwise for me. I tried but she just refuses to go the other way!

She'll only go clockwise for me. I tried SUPER hard, and got it to go counter, sort of. But it took MASSIVE effort.

Or maybe she just changed...
Pass me more coffee!

She's definately turning clockwise.
I don't see any way she could me turning count-clockwise via optical illusion.

My brother saw it counter, and not clockwise. We had a good row about it.

Of course you did. Your brother is obviously halucinating.

No EL & Balon, it's you who's hallucinating. I only see her going counter-clockwise.

I am not currently hallucinating.
Of course, I'd expect a man with a foot fetish to think she's going counter-clockwise.

By the way, definitely clockwise.

I saw her going clockwise initially, though now she'll go both ways (wow, that sounds bad
) if I try. If I close my eyes, and imagine her going the other direction she reverses when I look again. Of course, like Esmer, I noticed the nudity right off the bat too, so I guess it's an even split between all
three brains.

confirming what i already knew, i can only see her going clockwise. nothing i do, squinting, opening and closing my eyes, looking cross-eyed, nothing i do can make me see it any other way.
right brained

I can get her to go both ways. I saw this a while ago, although it was just on a page of optical illusions.
I get it to switch directions by putting the image in my peripheral vision and just waiting. It goes eventually.

Scrabble, don't see how it could. Now if you were playing UPWORDS that might lead to some serious shifts in how one views the world as it stands today.
