Me too. Sometimes when I looked away it changed.

apparently BOTH...the longer I watched her the more I saw her change the rotation...strange...

yup, back and forth also !!

It says I'm right-brain but to me she looks like she changes direction the longer you look. Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Yooper32 08-03-2011 06:14 AM

More often than not, no-brain.

JayCee 08-03-2011 06:36 AM

I can change it from counter clockwise to clockwise by closing one eye or the other. Women have more connection between the sides of the brain than men so that may explain why men can see only one direction. Mine sees it clockwise.

NANAOF2BOYS 08-03-2011 06:48 AM

i first saw it going clockwise then counter wise then I saw it changing boths ways lol

Me too, so what are we? I do have a lot of all the traits.

joyce j 08-03-2011 07:46 AM

My husband, who is also left-handed, says he is the only one in the family who is in his right mind.

Bernie942 08-03-2011 08:09 AM

I saw it both ways, depending on where my eyes were focused.

BarbaraSue 08-03-2011 08:10 AM

My wonderful DH says that I'm no brained!!

grannypat7925 08-03-2011 08:46 AM

Guess I'm bothsided. I see her revolving both ways!

Farm Quilter 08-03-2011 08:49 AM

Guess I'm whole-brain because she goes both directions!!! So what does that tell me????????

klgreene 08-03-2011 08:49 AM

So it both ways, so I guess the brain is still there. LOL

Nolee 08-03-2011 10:57 AM

I couldn't see her counter-clockwise no matter how hard I tried. I know I'm right-brained because I quilt :) :)

klgreene 08-03-2011 11:02 AM

Right brain left brain, it doesn't really matter as long as we still have one. There are enough people in this world that I swear have no brain at all. LOL

zkosh 08-03-2011 11:21 AM

In education there are many right brain/left brain tests that have been around for a while. I usually test right in the middle (I know, I know...). Since my fields are math and English (what?, I know) I guess I just go back and forth.

In quilting the right brain creativity would surely come into play, but the left brain attention to detail and linear thinking in planning and working through projects makes sense. Interesting! :-)

Meme2six 08-03-2011 01:07 PM

At first look she is spinning counter clockwise. When I concentrated on her foot that is flat, I could make her change directions in my mind. According to the descriptions I am left brained.

Learner747 08-03-2011 01:54 PM

She spins both ways. After a few rotations she reverses! Watch her foot. lol

I noticed this too.

jljack 08-03-2011 02:35 PM

I started out counter-clockwise, then focused and it went clockwise, then focused again and it returned to counter-clockwise. What does that mean? Of course....we can adjust to any situation, and are very creative!! LOL

grandme26 08-03-2011 03:01 PM

To keep from seeing double all the time when looking at something close up I have to close one eye (paralized eye muscles) so when looking at her from my left eye she is turning counter clockwise but when I closed left eye and looked out of right eye she was turning clockwise. When I was able to focus on her with both eyes she would turn halfway clockwise and then the other half counter clockwise. So what does that make me?

wildyard 08-03-2011 03:07 PM

LOL, with this dang fibro, more and more often I feel like I am No-brain. Heeheee

A rather strange test, the dancer changes direction and also can be switched by use of the mouse. Seems bogus.

j 08-03-2011 04:41 PM

I feel brain dead, does that count--joan

mammycain 08-03-2011 05:38 PM

The dancer changes the foot that she holds up. That is when she changes directions.

All Thumbs 08-03-2011 05:50 PM

She goes either way and just as easy one way or the other. Guess I am a dizzydonna for sure! (The name some of my family member tease me about.)

Debra Mc 08-03-2011 07:08 PM

First she was going clockwise but then changed to counterclockwise then back again. Does that me I'm a genius.lol

luckylindy333 08-03-2011 07:15 PM

Lucky if I have half a brain.

mary quilting 08-03-2011 07:29 PM

first look counter clockwise then it shifted to clockwise

debbieumphress 08-03-2011 07:32 PM

OK this is one of those if you look long enough it goes both ways and I agree, move the mouse and it changes. So I have to stick with my left brain which is still all there. LOL

RobertaMarie 08-03-2011 08:58 PM

Saw her clockwise first, then she reversed, and later went both ways....

You are right! Some recent scientific reports say that some people's brains are wired differently.
Perhaps, that "different" brainwiring, is what makes us quilters?
I too see it going both ways, at will.

Momsmurf 08-03-2011 09:24 PM

Both .... I suppose I can tell DH I'm very well balanced!

(He tried it and only saw it rotating one way...naturally! LOL)

donnalynett 08-03-2011 09:48 PM

Lately I have been "no brain".

alikat110 08-04-2011 12:16 PM

I could only see her clockwise...tried to focus to change, but couldn't. Had Marc look, he first saw counter clockwise, then says it just switched and continued to switch every few moments for him.

DebsShelties 08-04-2011 12:19 PM

Clicking on the gray on either side makes figure change direction.
I choose middle of the road brain.

lheizen 08-04-2011 01:37 PM

both ways

RugosaB 08-04-2011 05:33 PM

A few months ago, it was revealed to me that there are people whose right and left brainness sort of mesh, It finally explained so much of my life! It's called 'whole brain' So much of the 2 lists are true for me
I could easily see her going clockwise and counter clockwise
