Is the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

According to this article, if you see the dancer turning clockwise you are predominantly right-brained. If you see the dancer turning anti-clockwise, you are predominantly left-brained.

haha, this is very fun! The first time I saw this picture, I could only see the dancer turning clockwise. I stared at it for minutes but nothing changed. I closed my eyes and opened them again, I tried looking at it from the corner of my eye, I tried to visualise it going anti-clockwise but still couldn’t see it going anti-clockwise! I thought it was all bluff and was rather unsatisfied with not being able to see it going anti-clockwise.

But I managed to do it today! hehe. What I did was I opened the picture in a separate window in Firefox, and there was a miniature version of the picture in the tab bar for that page, so I stared at it until I suddenly saw the dancer going anti-clockwise! So exciting! haha, and from the corner of my eye I realised the dancer in the normal-sized picture was going anti-clockwise also.. so cool.

If you see the dancer going clockwise, the shadow of her pointed foot falls as she is turning to the front. For the dancer going anti-clockwise, the shadow of her foot falls when she is turning to the back.

There are apparently people who can switch between both clockwise and anti-clockwise modes easily. I suppose they might use both sides of their brains more equally or something, I don’t know.. haha.. I am not one of those people. I still cant see the anti-clockwise motion without the miniature picture, and even so it isnt easy, so I guess I might be highly right-brained? *shrug* (fits though… I think la..)
