I've no doubt it's an illusion, but I still see only clockwise. I stared for half an hour yesterday - couldn't see her spinning the other way.

Well you must look away! It doesn't just change direction while you are starring at it, It is always when I look away. Did you try the shadow thing? Zoom into her foot all the way. I usually see her going clockwise, but when i do that she changes direction once I zoom out. I've stared at this thing way to long the last 2 days....

Tried everything. She just goes clockwise. I'm actually surprised, given my score in the subsequent test, that I'm not more right-brained.

I dont know if its my brain that is messed up but when it sees just the shadow part moving left...and then zooms out the girl always is going ccw. But left alone it goes cw. I find this fascinating I dont know why  ;D

For me it was CW, then CCW later.

I do not belief that it has anything to do with what side of the brain that you're saying.  There was no explanation for that assertion that was acceptable, they simply wanted you to just accept what they were saying as truth.  Obviously the brain's attempt to fill in the 2d motion as really a 3d rotation has something to do with it, but that really is a big leap from saying that it tells you what side of the brain you're using.  It's a fun amusement but nothing more.  Just like the quiz.  You should have fun with these kind of things, but don't think that they really tell you anything about yourself.

i wouldn't put much emphasis on that test or on any sense of creativity from it either. You saw my score, the highest one yet I think. All it means is that I hate organisation and math, nothing more.

My score:

Your percentage score for the left brain is 56%.
Your percentage score for the right brain is 44%.

A joke or not, at least not far from my own impression of the matter.

For me, she turns clockwise about 75% of the time, and counter-clockwise about 25 % of the time.  She always starts out going clockwise.

Took the 50 QQQ test.  It says--

Brain Type Test - Free Results
Are You Left-Brained or Right-Brained?

Although one side of the brain is generally dominant over the other, we should strive to utilize both halves. A balanced brain makes a balanced person - combining sequential thinking with a holistic approach, or linear thinking with intuition, enables us to fully comprehend issues and solve problems. Left-brainers can dramatically improve their problem solving abilities by learning to "follow their gut," while right-brainers can improve the execution of their creative efforts.

Realizing your dominant half is the first step in becoming balance-brained.

Your percentage score for the left brain is 51%.
Your percentage score for the right brain is 49%.

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

I don't care which way she's spinning, I just want to meet her.

I don't want to meet her.  She's wearing a pony tail, which I think of only in connection with young teen age girls.  Getting it up for her would make me feel like a perv.  It makes me sick.

Now the girl in somebody's signature that's wearing the tight T shirt with ENGLAND on it?  Well, that's a different story.  :P

I came across something the other day which helped me to have compassion for you, even though the short-sighted self-righteousness oozing from so many posts still presents a challenge to reading them.  From http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/412229:

Humor appreciation appears to be based in the lower frontal lobes of the brain, a location associated with social and emotional judgment and planning, according to imaging research. That might explain why people who have suffered strokes involving the lower frontal lobes of the brain may have alterations of personality which include loss of their sense of humor.

You are confusing yourself. The perv here is the guy that rendered her nipples with so much artistry and enthusiasm.  >:D

Clockwise. All the time. Watch the pivoting foot. Watch the big toe (longest portion of her foot). It's inside, right? So it's her left foot, right? Not the right, right? Left, then. Obviously.

The question is how much is left of the right half of the brain.
