Clockwise? Counter-clockwise?

Which way is the lady spinning for you?

She keeps switching for me. Randomly. I'll be looking at her and suddenly she'll be going the opposite direction. Earlier, I unfocused my eyes and saw double and one was going one way and the other was going the other way. I've always sort of known I was pretty much split down the middle between right- and left-brainedness.

I knew I was right-brained, but I can't believe that I can't even focus enough to get her to spin the other way. Geez.

I started counter clockwise (very much), then set back and concentrated for a moment, and then she started switching back and forth.

But I'd say it goes far to my 'not really left-handed' argument.

Try doing some long division and then look at it again, Erin. Seriously. :)

Like the previous poster, I couldn't get her to spin counter-clockwise and got very frustrated and mad at myself for my inability to use the other half of my brain.

Right now, she is VERY counter-clockwise for me. :)

She's giving me a little bit of a headache. I'm having trouble telling.

She flips for me too. Usually starts widdershins, and then switches to clockwise - and then back/forth. If I concentrate, I can control the direction.

It's an interesting illusion. She appears to have a different leg in the air, depending on the spin direction. Clockwise = right leg / right brain. Counter-clockwise = left leg / left brain.
