/ ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// (Harley says clockwise and so do I. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / He wached her for a long/ time. All the slash marks are motorcycle talk. He really wanted her to come and play with him, but for some reason, she just kept spinning.

For the lazy amongst us, here's the link formatted so that it will take you straight to the site. I've seen this before (yesterday, as it happens). When I first saw this, I swear that the dancer was going anticlockwise, but suddenly switched to clockwise after half a minute or so. Now, no matter how had I try, I can't get her to go anything other than go clockwise. And, believe me, I've tried. Krissie |

I definitely see clockwise too. BTW, this is the first time I've heard the word "anticlockwise"-- I always use the word "counterclockwise". Maybe a regional difference--do Australians say anticlockwise?

I'm obviously a right side of the brain kind of person - she is definitely spinning clockwise.

Counterclockwise for me no matter how long I looked at her. Guess I'm too logical for it to be otherwise  |

It keeps alternating for me. I see it clockwise until I avert my eyes to the left where the list is. while I'm looking there, it changes to counter clockwise, and then when i look back it stays counter clockwise until I avert my eyes again. Interesting.

Interesting. I know Mary won't be surprised, but this is exactly what happened to me as well. Every time I averted my eyes to the list, she changed direction. |

At first it was clockwise for me. But then if I look at it with my right eye and my left eye closed, it goes counterclockwise. Then if I switch eyes, it turns the other way.

Anita and I got on skype for some diversion and put three of these dancing girls up at the same time in differnt windows. We could both see it change then. Very weird. I'm still not totally convinced it's not a hoax or accepting that it's about hemispherical preference...
thanks for answering, anyone game to try three? I suggest if you never saw it change it's wild.

Even with three I still came up as right brain. Another test. |

I'm right brain according to above test but not by much. It was almost a 50/50 split.

I'm also right brain according to that test: 51/50 split.
But I have to say that I had a 'huh?' kind of response to some of the questions, and... If what the results were saying about me is right, I am definitely in the wrong job... which is slightly worrying!
