Right Brain Vs. Left Brain - The Spinning Dancer

The Right Brain vs Left Brain Test ... do you see the dancer rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice-versa.

Personally I saw the dancer turning clockwise, although I still consider myself more left-brained.

Dancer - Going Clockwise or Counterclockwise? Right Brain Vs. Left Brain

Whether you see it spinning clockwise or counter, it's a great optical illusion. If you see it one way but can't "force" yourself to view it the other way, focus on the shadow of dancer's foot as it bobs up and down. Eventually you can see it turn sideways in the other direction.
