Poster Comment: She turns right for me, making me right-brained. I can make her turn left for several seconds, but as soon as I blink or move, she goes to the right again. 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

I disagree that this is any right/left brain indicator. Clockwise is the more natural perspective. My first glaces always show clockwise turning. I can make her spin the other way and hold it, but I think the image is skewed a bit. The shadow of her raised foot suggests counter clockwise rotation, as in clockwise rotation you shouldn't be able to see it only when it's closer to you. That part is interesting since it's contrary to the clockwise rotating, but I think the perspective of clockwise rotation is more natural as your perspective is from above her, looking down slightly. In order for her to rotate counterclockwise, you have to shift your perspective to below her looking up slightly, almost as if you eyeball was at floor level or so, which is less natural. I think the brain favors the more natural view of being above the subject, which is why we favor the clockwise turning. Put your mouse where her foot past her other leg and you can see the difference in height. If someone favors counterclockwise rotation, it might be because they pay more attention to the shadow then the perspective. Maybe.

this is so bizarre.. I thought there was no question she was turning clockwise.. I look at her now and see her going counter clockwise?
I am a skeptic about mind tests like this, so I took the scientific approach. Here is a short list of the purpose of each side of the brain: RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS They say on the site that if she is going counter clockwise you are using the left brain, and clockwise the right. When I first looked at it she was always going counter clockwise, then I came back two days later and looked again, she was till going counter clockwise. I started thinking about fun and happy things and she turned and started going clockwise, so then I started counting and she turn counter clockwise again. Now I can change her at will just by what I am thinking.
