I received this picture from an email years ago and I thought it was a delusive image, cos I could only see it turning anti-clockwise no matter how many centuries I spent staring at it. It was until recently that I was able to see it turning in both directions when my brother showed this image to the family.
My family members saw it changed in different directions all at different timings! My brother can only see it in one direction. He's heavily a left-brainer.
I just wanna find out how many of you sees the right, left, or both!
I heard that this has a close relation to whether you use your right of left brain more. In Singapore, our education system requires us to work on the left side of our brains more frequently. I believe more students/fresh grads from formal school education are the "left-brainers".
This reminds me of optical illusions actually.

*Study how the image changes. When you think the foot is pointing at you, it can also be pointing at the other direction, away from you! Try covering the body and look only the the two legs!
It's the same idea as the old internet explorer OR netscape navigator logo. Not convinced? Try looking at these with a group of people, you guys will see it change direction at different times! Don't focus on it too much or you can't see it change!
More! I think both pictures belong to optical illusions rather than a "brains tester". What do you think?

i like this entry a lot! i am definetlyy a right brainer because i am more visual than anything! good job!
hi im a first timer to your blog!
i can see the ballerina spin in any way i want...
for me the trick is to "believe" which foot is up. For clockwise rotation you have to believe the right foot is up and spinning and vice versa...
oh btw im curious...how to pronounce your name ?

erm which one of the pronunciation in the link above is the way your name is usually pronounced ?
ok i know i sound like a moron now.
sry i meant left foot up for clockwise rotation.
Hi anonymous,
It's the English way, not French, thus, 3rd =)
No worries!
okay thanks alot !

It's really neat, on both illusions I can change the directions on a whim. All I have to do is look at the center of the circle or focus on the girl's thigh to make her change from left thigh to right thigh. Really hard to focus on that when she's got nipples poking out like icicles though :-X
I also picked out and chose about 50% of each of the left and right brain techniques that I focus more on. I guess I'm handsome, smart, AND my thinking is well balanced.
