Which way is she turning for you?

Clockwise. I can't make my brain see it the other way at all no matter how hard I try!

that's so weird! She's totally going clockwise. I can't make it seem counter-clockwise either. o__o

My boyfriend also sees clockwise, but my twin sister sees her switch back and forth every once and a while XD

lol that's weird...I tried to see it the other way and I couldn't.

Wow, how weird - I can't seem to see it anything BUT counter-clockwise! That's a very interesting test!

Whoa, weird, I can change it, though it takes a bit of concentration...what's that supposed to mean, I use both equally? XD

I see clockwise, but sometimes I SWEAR IT SWITCHES and I can see the other way. But that doesn't usually last very long. How weird.

It depends on the point of view. If you imagine you are looking at her from above, she is rotating clockwise, and the inverse if you look from below. That said, I intuitively see her rotating clockwise, and I have to think to see her rotating counter-clockwise, which, funnily enough, is in accordance with their ideas for using feelings and logic. Try focusing on her right foot and imagine her lying down, with her feet towards you. Actually, that works with other parts of the body, which I guess is why they say you tend to see CW rotation if you see the big picture and CCW if you focus on details.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh :O
she keeps switching for no apparent reason like every thirty seconds and it HURTS MY BRAIN MEATS T______________T

i swear to god there's distinctive differences in how she rotates... are you sure its not doing it purposely and claiming not to? i think it might be >_>
*wimper*

That's exactly what I think, Kendra. :P

[ayashi.livejournal.com]

I watched it for at least a minute and saw no changes!

[kendrasue.livejournal.com]

i found i could make it change if i changed the angle of the laptop screen. :o

[ayashi.livejournal.com]

omg I tried that too and nothing D: I am hopelesssss

[pomander.livejournal.com]

Wow, it literally took me over five minutes to be able to see it going counter-clockwise and I lost it really quick. Using nfk's method of looking from below and focusing on one part is what eventually worked.

That's really bizarre...I see it going clockwise and can't, for the life of me, get it to "switch". D:

I saw this yesterday! I can only see her clockwise, I just can't make her go anticlockwise no matter what :< My friend can see her both ways.

[katejaneway.livejournal.com]

She goes counterclockwise for me and I can't get it to go back. Lol I'm glad I've confused you and everyone on your f-list!

[chichiri.livejournal.com]

ooooh Kate's the logical one XD

[typhonae.livejournal.com]

Watch her foot that doesn't have a large rotation and you'll notice her switching more often. This is old, but awesome.

[labradors.livejournal.com]

she'd switch on me, but I can't MAKE her switch direction, it just happened randomly. And then she got stuck clockwise (started out couter-clockwise) and I gave up. haha.

[zandperl.livejournal.com]

As seen from above, or below? :-P

I can only see her moving clockwise - as seen from above, that is, if a clock was painted on the floor and I was looking down at it (as opposed to if there were a clock floating above her head and I was looking up at it), which I assume is what they meant. The bobbing up and down is what does it for me.

[kelsin.livejournal.com]

I see it clockwise everytime if I look at her. Then if I only focus on the shadow, she turns into going counter-clockwise. So now I can switch it based on that. It's pretty awesome.

[chichiri.livejournal.com]

OMG you're right! I got it to switch to counter clockwise for all of 5 seconds and then it switched back, once I looked up at her head again!
