I am capable of seeing her spinning in both directions with fairly equal ease. Unlike the two of you, I recognized her as Naomi Selnick, from La Jolla, California, UCLA class of 1998, MFA in dance. Fred | ||

OK, guys, I guess I should ask which hand has the beer(you know, how do you make a guy happy, show up naked, bring beer) I can't no way no how make that chick spin t'other way, but I know lots of people seem to be able to. I have looked askance, pinched my right and left earlobes, winked, and did everything that those who can see her twirling both ways tell me to do. NO dice. I think my left brain if it ever existed is withered beyond reclamation. Anyway, its fun to try. It's also a good way to hook guys into a psychological test, naked girl gets attention, answers at 11:00. regards Sue | ||

OK, sue. I can't make her go counterclockwise either. But then again, does anybody really need these characteristics? uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe Nah, I've lived in the world for 50 years now and found those things totally unnecessary. *LOL* Well, with the exception of words and language, anyway.

hi all if you want to see her spin counterclockwise you can look at her with only your left brain. to do this, cover up your left eye with your left hand, then cover most of your right eye with your right hand leaving only your outside peripheral vision uncovered. look straight ahead for a few moments then look at her through your far right peripheral vision. she should spin counterclockwise. you can make her spin the other way by looking at her thought the far left peripheral vision. as to how my right brain figured this out, i wouldn't have without taking a class  warmly s | ||

Hey, if you watch her long enough she spins first one way and then the other, also depends which list you're reading... Aren't all poets right-brained? Thanks for sharing this fun. KYou're invited to: Wild Flowers How do I explain these poems? Not at all. -Ann Sexton | ||

Hi Friends, I'm with Kathy, poets are right-brained and the girl takes turns in both directions for the patient viewer. To me the clockwise turns felt more stable. thanks for posting,sue! Ingrid | ||

Umm, well. ah - when I first glanced at the girl I said, "Wow, she's spinning counter clockwise." Then I said, "No, she's spinning clockwise." It wasn't that I didn't know which direction the hands move. lol When this concept was first presented to educators about 15 years ago, I took a quiz and discovered I am middle brained. Ever since then, any time I take one of these tests - I am exactly in the middle. Steve is correct that your opposite eye seems to relay information to the other side of your brain. Some cool experiments have been conducted about this. As for me, if I look at her hands, she is spinning one way. If I look at her legs, she is spinning the other way. *Hugs* Susan | ||

Counterclockwise, but I can make her go clockwise. I want either less corruption, or more chance to participate in it. ~Ashleigh Brilliant | ||

Just for fun - Start reciting addition or multiplication facts while watching and see if she spins counter-clockwise. If she does, then ask yourself questions like, "I wonder why that happened?" and see if she spins clockwise. *Hugs* Susan | ||

I think calculus, she spins CCW. I think daffodils, she spins CW. I think Iraq, she falls to the ground, begins bleeding. Fred | ||

Woa,,GA, I did a bunch of addition problems with my eyes closed, opened them and voila, she was spining counter clockwise, but the spell only lasted a few seconds. Thank you oh great and powerful Oz, (singing "if I only had a left brain") regards Sue | ||

Well I swing both ways, to left and right. And shut up Fred! Sue, in my case the original applies: la-la "If I only had a brain"  Dorothy: That's funny. Wasn't he pointing the other way? Scarecrow: Of course, people do go both ways! |
