When I first saw this I could've sworn that it only went anti-clockwise. then I blinked and suddenly it went in the opposite direction and couldn't see how I could've possibly seen it any other way. I thought perhaps some trickery was involved but nope :( I've managed to train myself to switch it at will but it really hurts my head after a while making me feel weird.

How do you see it?

At first I saw it as going clockwise, but whenever I look away and then look back it's going the other way. My brain are fused!

Mine goes anti-clockwise at first, I knew I was a left-brainer anyway. It took a whole minut to try and make it go the other way.

I see it going clockwise, which isn't much of a surprise to me, I've always been a logic-oriented person. But it really doesn't mean much to me, because the whole Right Brain/Left Brain theory has pretty much been debunked by now. I didn't know people still believed in it.

Edit: I just learned to switch it from going clockwise to counterclockwise, focus on its legs and the little shadow its extended foot makes. It's cool.

Clockwise first, then after looking at it carefully it switched, then suddenly back to clockwise. I scrolled up just now and its going counterclockwise, and I can't seem to get it to switch anymore. :(

Edit: ok, after posting it is now going clockwise again...

At first I thought she was using her left leg as the one on the ground, but now l can alternate between both ways before she completes half a rotation. :) What I don't get is why people are saying it's rotating clockwise and/or anti-clockwise, because she's rotating onthe horizontal plane, so it would depend on whether you look at it from the top or the bottom... :?

I saw it going clockwise for a while there. Then it switched and then it switched back again.

So I guess I am a "right-brainer."

It is using simplistic and trivial reasoning. The kinematics of her body suggest clockwise rotation. The shadow/reflection suggests counterclockwise. I call bogus on such a simplistic "test".

To get it to switch you just have to look at it in the outter edge of your peripheral vision and imagine it twirling in the opposite direction. I dunno, it might not be the same for you guys but thats how I can get it to switch.

No it doesn't. I've looked at the gif in photoshop. There's 34 frames and the figure only completes one revolution.
luccaface

WRONG It doesn't rotate at all. Its completely 2d, left to right, right to left. Very well done illusion.

Either there is typing errors or it's designed to screw with your mind. I see it going clockwise and under the descriptions I match the left description. So I think this test is ****

I'm not even going to waste my time trying to do something I can't. It turns clockwise

I saw it going counter-clockwise the first time. Looked at it a second time and saw it going clockwise. Now I can't see it going counter-clockwise...grrrr.
