This is the Right Brain vs Left Brain test. Peep the instructions:
Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise? If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

I first saw it counter-clockwise, then it started going clockwise. Now I'm trying to get it to go back the other way. I can't verify the scientific merit or truth to it, but now you have something to do for the weekend.LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
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
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

it's difficult to switch back and forth at first. if you look at her reflection below, the argument for one way over the other becomes pretty apparent. it's a stretch to call what is below her a shadow since there is no foreshortening. she's definitely spinning counter-clockwise. however, i found even going against logic, i could envision her spinning clockwise. the mind is wonderful.
OH MY GOD! i just had a mind-sexation! I saw it as clockwise right away, and could not fathom seeing it anti. then i read dan's post, and i tried the shadow-gazing, and it flipped immediately to auntie. Then it switched back to The Way of the Clock, and i came again in my mind. The best thing since 3-D posters. I need to go lay down.
