First I saw clockwise, then I saw counter clockwise and couldn't see clockwise anymore! What on earth could that mean? :edit: Now she's clockwise again! XD

I see her spinning both ways. She is AC/DC LOL But if you try to concentrate to see her spinning both ways she doesn't. She spins counter clockwise because in trying to see her spin clockwise too you are using the logical left side of the brain. If you don't concentrate at all and just watch her she spins clockwise.
So I think the optical illusion depends on which side of our brain we are functioning predominantly on at the moment.

Both!I also did the quiz on that page and these were my results: Your percentage score for the left brain is 52%. Your percentage score for the right brain is 48%. (good balance of both) You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the "whole" picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge. Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows: Left Brain * Linear * Sequential * Symbolic * Logical * Verbal * Reality-based Right Brain * Holistic * Random * Concrete * Intuitive * Nonverbal * Fantasy-oriented IP: Logged |

I took that test too and I was pretty much even....Your percentage score for the left brain is 52%. Your percentage score for the right brain is 48%. Anyways, I first saw counter-clockwise and then clockwise.

only clockwise at first...I tried to see her go counterclockwise, and it made my eyeball ache.And then....suddenly she paused and was moving counterclockwise! That was only for a moment...I was thinking about the joke of made in the text of don't focus on her chest and how silly I didn't get it at first. Perhaps that moment of self criticism required a shift to left brain thinking?
