I can see it spinning both ways. What’s up with that?

Looks like the opening credits of a James Bond movie.

Strictly clockwise until I started looking at it out of the corner of my eye. Then it goes clockwise out of the corner of my left eye and stays that way until I look at it out of the corner of my right, then it’s counterclockwise and stays that way, until I shift to the left, and so forth. No switching back and forth in my primary field of vision.

I could only see her spinning clockwise, and couldn’t force another impression until I just looked at the shadow of her foot and concentrated on that spinning counter-clockwise...BAM...instant switch.

Rotate the image 90 degrees every 15 seconds.

One second it is counter clockwise, and the next it is clockwise. I’m so confused.

And the verdict is.... extremely not guilty.

The trick to make it spin in either direction is to look at the shadow of her foot. If you convince yourself that it is in the foreground then she will be spinning clockwise when you look at the whole image. If you convince yourself that it is in the background and it is showing foot movement when the foot is behind her then she will be spinning counterclockwise.

Wikipedia article on this image:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_Dancer

Noteworthy in it is this line: In popular psychology, the illusion has been incorrectly[6] identified as a personality test that supposedly reveals which hemisphere of the brain is dominant in the observer. Under this wrong interpretation, it has been popularly called the Right Brain–Left Brain test,[7] and was widely circulated on the Internet during late 2008 to early 2009.

I could have sworn she’s only spinning counter-clockwise. But when I switch tabs and come back to the image later, she’s spinning clockwise and I can’t see how I pictured it going counter-clockwise. Navigate away and back again and she’s back to counter-clockwise. Interesting.

If you see a clockwise rotation, you are a right-brain thinker.

If you see a counter-clockwise spin, you are a left-brain thinker.

If you see both clockwise and counter-clockwise spin, you are a bisexual.

Mostly spinning clockwise but sometimes going anti-clockwise for a few seconds.

Where was the poll they mentioned?

I see her spinning clockwise most of the time but I can make her go counter clockwise if I want to. Does that mean I use both sides of my brain, a whole brain thinker?

She spins clockwise. Who needs instructions on making her spin the other way? It’s simple to do.

The perky breasted spinner is in silhouette. I think my perception of the direction she moves is influenced by which side, front or back, of her body I read as facing me. Look at the figure and see that you can perceive either her face or the back of her head as facing you. That perception affects which direction she seems to be moving.

These peoples are confused. They old school, we new school. It’s not in what directions she’s spinning, but is she GUILTY or NOT GUILTY?!

By concentrating I could get her to “spin” both ways, I guess that means I am “bi” at least in my brain.
