Left brain vs. right brain

What direction does the woman below seem to be spinning?


























Here's info from this site on what it means when she's spinning in one direction or the other.

However, below is the same info:

-----------------------------------

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... 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.

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


-----------------------------------

Just so you know, I saw the woman spinning clockwise. Not surprising for an artist brain like mine. Also, I couldn't make the dancer spin the other way, even when I bribed her.
