wow
i wasn't concentrating on the way it was turning . . . .

i did eventually and was going clockwise for me i.e. apparently i use my right side of my brain more.

Not sure how true this test is as I have started my MechEng degree (Imperial) and we are meant to be left sided brain users (supposedly logical)

Doesn't bode well for me in the future

Right brain apparently

I started out seeing it clockwise, read the list a bit (and thought that's not me at all) and then glanced back at the image and she was going the other way...

I saw it clockwise, with great difficulty I also managed anti-clockwise. Looking at the lists I can see bits of myself on both sides, but I prefer the right brain list so I'm sticking with that (not sure where my mechanical engineering degree fits in to that, but then again I did quit engineering after uni so maybe that explains it...)

Anti-clockwise for me, but then managed to force myself to see it going clockwise and now I can't make it go back!

Damn. Now I really am confused.
Please make it stop!

I can make it turn the way I want it.

if you look in the upper left corner of the texture you'll be able to "switch"

funny

I just close my eyes, visualise which way I want to see it and then look at the picture. 100% success. Does that mean I am right or left brain oriented?

How do they mean clockwise / anti ?

If she seems to be going clockwise looking from head to floor , she will be going anticlockwise looking from floor level up (not that we would do that :-) )

There's always one isn't there I think they mean looking down from above her. If not then that's screwed up everyone answers!

ive just finished the same degree and i though clockwise too


Mark Allanson - 13/10/07 at 06:27 PM

It was clockwise for me, but I am sure the image would look much better with the lights on!


locogeoff - 13/10/07 at 09:44 PM

When looking directly at the image I see it going clockwise, but anti clockwise in my peripheral vision.


JoelP - 14/10/07 at 12:01 AM

i think most people can see it either way, they are probably referring to how you see it on first glance. I think its nutsack anyway, but thats just me
