Take a look at the above picture.
Now, before you do anything else, which way is this girl turning? Think about your first reaction, before you read any further.
If she was turning anti-clockwise, your left brain hemisphere is dominant.
If she was turning clockwise, your right brain hemisphere is dominant.
Both are equally valid.

It’s very true… I’m very analytical, objective and sequential. When I saw the pic above, I immediately thought that she was going anti-clockwise.
What was your first answer? Let’s get some stats here 
Hmmm… definitely anti clockwise for me, and I fit the logical/rational thing. I stared and stared and couldn’t get her to move clockwise at all! Weird
Clockwise for me!
When I first saw this she was moving clockwise then moved anti clockwise and the more I loked at it she moved clockwise then for a half move anti the straight back to clockwise and so on . What does that mean then .Am I super human a real thinking person ?????
right brain clockwise!
Yeah, she was totally going clockwise for me
Clockwise for me first but if I scroll down and only get to see her legs, I start seeing anti-clockwise. Okay, I know, that means I’m plain neurotic. Damn.
Some stats.
Gus… she changes direction when you move up and come back down.
She moved in both directions for me. I even got her to do it on demand.
Clockwise! Don’t see how she’s going anti-clockwise at all…
I see clockwise, and have had a hell of a time trying to see it the other way for the past few weeks.
The problem is, I’m not most of the Right Brains stuff. I’m certainly not random. I’m more of the left side stuff: logical, rational, analytical.
Maybe it’s the actor/musician side in me winning over my scientist/engineer side.
*shrugs*
How is she going anything other than clockwise!
I can’t get my mind to change it…hm
(x2 - the same for my bf)
Am I going mental/mad . Each time I look at this “thing” she changes direction constantly . HELP >
If you look closely at the position of the feet - and the location/direction of the heels/toes on both feet you can come to a fixed conclusion.
From the waist down the silhouette is facing away whilst the upper torso is facing towards the viewer.
You are waaaay too analytical. You obviously saw her anti-clockwise on first glance, didn’t you?
Clockwise for me. But she did “change direction” towards the end of my viewing…
Definitely anti-clockwise first…and I did see her change direction later. The characteristics for left brain seem overall the best fit. Librarian/teachers need to possess some capacity for logic!
Clockwise - until I started to read the text and then she changed to anti-clockwise.
Wow.. that was interesting, because I thought clockwise first, and I really can’t see how it can move anti-clockwise…
I see it moving clockwise, then if I concentrate on the shadow foot I see it moving counter-clockwise. If I focus on the pointed foot I can sometimes see it clockwise again.
I wonder how gender effects the ability to go back and forth.
It took several minutes and eventually, covering half of her body with my hand before I was able to see her going counter-clockwise.
Still, I think I’m a slightly more analytical person than I am creative.
