I'm left handed. So are all three of my best friends. In fact, going to an arts school I find an unusual percentage of my peers are left-handed. maybe the correlation is real.

The only friend of mine who I sent it to and did see it clockwise is lefty. What a good observation!

She is always turning counter clockwise when I first look at her. I'm right handed. I can make her turn clockwise if, as Calvin and DG have said, I look at the text to the right and so on ...

clockwise. lefty. dyslexic, too.

If I squint on just one point, and concentrate on "making" the foot move counterclockwise, I can change it, but not easily, and it doesn't last very long.

After becoming obsessed with this thing, I figured out a way for it to change. I squinted so much and then focused, then opened my eyes and it was moving clockwise until I squinted and did it again, switching it back. Weird!

I saw counter-clockwise (weird... I thought I was right-brained...), but I can switch it pretty easily if I stare at her legs.

I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

I can only see clockwise. No matter what I do I can't make her change. I'm left handed, but my right handed husband could only see her moving clockwise as well.

I'm right handed... and except for the first time when I saw it counter-clockwise, I see it clockwise.

Most of my friends see it clockwise.

the animation is on a loop and switches back and forth, its just a trick.

So the animation is switching back and forth, but half of us can't see it?

There is obviously some sort of "trick" to it that makes some of us see it one direction and some in another, but I don't think it's a loop. If it was, we'd all see it in both directions, no?

Like Calvin, I saw it switch 3 times but only when I looked away from it and started reading. It certainly seems like it should be a loop but we're all seeing something different so it must be some sort of optical illusion.

This is another optical illusion. It's not a .gif file. It's not moving. (It's also big. Forgive me)

Mamie, that is great. If you keep your eyes fixed on one point it stops moving. Or if you shake your head side to side, the colors blend into black and white and you no longer see the yellow and blue.

Yikes, Mamie, I need an Advil after staring at that!

If you stare too long, the black circles seem to dilate, like pupils.

I see clockwise and can't change it.

I guess reading turns on the non-dominant left side of my brain.

I learned that from an episode of Batman. Everything in the world had gone topsy turvy and Batman was a villian, so he finally realized when he tried to read a paper that he was dreaming, because the side of your brain that reads is the opposite side of the one you dream with, so you can't do both at once. Not sure how accurate that really is, but I've always remembered that one episode because of it. Sorry, geeky moment. :-P

I'm guessing that wasn't an Adam West episode, because I would have remembered that! And because he would have solved it with Bat-Nightmare-Repellent spray, not a newspaper.

clock wise but then (finally) counter clockwise.

Counter-clockwise, but after looking away, I could change it to clockwise with a little effort. But at first glance, it's always counter-clockwise.

Clockwise

Clockwise, and I can't imagine anyone seeing it as counterclockwise.

Scroll down so that you can only see her legs, and see if you can recognize that, as opposed to a circle, they're really just swinging from side to side. That'll make it easier for you to change the direction. Or, at least, it worked for me.

Firefox also freezes any moving images anytime I'm moving the scroll bar on the side, so I've found if I play with that, I can make it "change" directions. It seems to depend on which position the dancer is in when I first look at it, because once my mind is set on a certain direction, there's no changing it.

Hey, that means I could be the president!

counter-clockwise, but then I can change her for a bit, but then reverts to counter clockwise.
70% of the time for me is counter-clockwise
