Right Brain vs Left Brain Test

OMG Dottie!!! It worked!!! Yee-Haw!!! :D
I tried looking just outside the frame, to the right of the graphic, and concentrated on it peripherally. My hopes weren't high. I honestly didn't think it would work. But it did! Suddenly, it started to move anti-clockwise! And then it went back to clockwise again! :o
So I guess I'd better change my response to "Both" now, hunh?! I'm thrilled! :D
P.S., I love your fairy lights too, Dottie! :D

Kerry that's GREAT! ;D It bothered my husband so much that he studied it at length on Sunday and he discovered...the shadow of the left foot would seem to indicate that they are facing away from you therefore turning anti clockwise , but the thumb and shoulder on the left would suggest she is facing you and therefore turning clockwise so by focusing on those area's seperately he could control which way she turned. My logical man, takes every problem and works it until he figures it out for himself ;)

Wow! Totally weird. The only way I can see this figure is moving counter-clockwise. I can't even make her go clockwise if I really concentrate at it. But, there's no way I consider myself entirely a left brain person. I work in the arts for pete's sake!

Maybe you're a latent mathematician or scientist, Amanda, haha! Was "The Yarts" (as we call it in Oz) your first career choice? ;) :D

Oh, yes, the arts most definitely were my first career choice. I was an art history major beginning my first year in college and then I spent 7 years in grad school for a Ph.D. in art history. I'm most definitely not a math person... I even have trouble doing relatively simple math in my head. And, in college I took the bare minimum for the science requirements.
But, still... I can only see the figure moving counter-clockwise. Interesting indeed.
