I got right as well. However, looking at the list they had there...I'm about split even for it.

I saw her clockwise(right) at first and then looked again and got counter-clockwise(left).

Right brained, could only made her go one way....clockwise. Tried to look away and see if I could get her going the other way I just don't see how thats possible. lol. So I guess I am VERY right brained. :lol:

Looking directly I saw her spin clockwise but my pheripheral vision saw her spinning counterclockwise. :roll:

Yeah after I looked a few times I noticed that too and could finally get her going counter clockerwise for a brief moment by starting her off in my pheripheral. Weird.

I see her spinning to the left. With some effort I can see the opposite.

My wife (a former ballet dancer) says she is spinning to the right. She says the extended right leg is the giveaway. For her to spin to the left the leg would have to be bent at the knee.

She thinks the quiz is flawed. She says a better example is the old woman/young woman pic.

This is getting ridiculous...I really need to go back to work. But it's just not possible at this time.

That was WEIRD!

First time I looked she was spinning left. I looked away for a second and looked back and she was spinning to the right.

Tried it again and the same thing happened. :lol:

Depending on which way you see it depends on what leg "appears" to be extended. When she is spinning left the left legs looks extented and visa versa if shes going right.
Good luck getting back to work. :lol:

Good, I'm not the only one that saw the dancer go clockwise and counter-clockwise. For while, I thought I might need to make an early eye appointment.

Guess I'm thoroughly right-brained. No matter what I tried, I could only see her going clockwise.

Wonder if handedness has anything to do with it? I'm left handed.

Me too Jan.. Try as I might could only see clockwise..

What side of the brain was I using if I was focusing mostly on her "top half"? :-)

I couldn't see her spinning counterclockwise. Guess i'm totally right brained!

My daughter who fits the left brain characteristics perfectly can only see her dancing clockwise. Hmmmm......

I'm right handed and I could only see clockwise. I think the ones who say they see counter-clockwise are just trying to trick us. :lol:
