Are you Left-Brained or Right-Brained?

For me the dancing lady changes direction every 10 seconds or so... what does that mean? ;-)

I guess that means you're well balanced ?! :p

I'm definitely right brained. Nothing going on on the left side (big surprise) :) ;)

I see her spinning clockwise and find it nearly impossible to get her to switch. In the rare instance I can get her to switch directions, in less than a quarter turn she resumes her clockwise motion. I suspect this isn't a very good test for left or right brain dominance though, since I tend to be left brained.

I agree and never take any such tests seriously. They are fun though.

I see it going clockwise, but if I glance at the text and then back at the photo, it goes anti-clockwise.

Seems pretty weird how it can do that. :-P

Jay, same with me. When I watch her feet jumping for a while and then turn my eyes back to the body, she changes direction. So we are somehow schizophrenic? ;-)

When I first saw this a month or so back, nothing I did would let me see her going counter-clockwise, so I grabbed the image and broke it apart. You can see all of the individual pieces here: http://www.dakwegmo.com/LeftRight/

After I did this, I could pick an image and get the lady to switch back and forth from standing on her left to standing on her right foot. After playing with several of the individual frames from the animation I could go back to the moving one and see her moving CCW, but she would switch to clockwise if I tried too hard.

you can stop her dancing by clicking and dragging into the image
