OK. This is an interesting image, but I’m not convinced that it really is an indication of left/right brain dominance as claimed here. First of all, the left/right brain theory has been over-simplified in the popular press to the point of absurdity. [I have half a mind to complain, if I thought it would do any good....]
So, which direction is the woman spinning? Can you make her spin the other way? [And do you really believe that either is any indication of the way your brain works?]

Let's do Something Cheap and Superficial 
On a normal night, I can make her go the other way… but i’ve been drinkin’ tonight, and she only seems to be goin’ one direction. Sigh………
When you drink, does she spin the same direction that water circles the drain? ~Tim
she goes both ways for me
And girls who go both ways are very popular! ~Tim
She is spinning alternately in both directions. I have not started drinking yet, so of this I am pretty sure…..
Btw, its not really possible to spin that way unless you are a jewelry box ballerina with a stick up your ..erm, tutu!
“Music Box Dancer” plays softly in the background. There. That’s better. ~Tim
How interesting. I can see her spinning in both directions….first counterclockwise, then clockwise and then back to counterclockwise again. Hmmmmmm
As for the list on the link of right/left brain functions — I think I’m mostly right brain functioned but have a good many charcteristics of the left brain functions too. I’ve always thought I was pretty well balanced. Is this my proof??? ahhaha
Proof? Um, sure! I would never tell you you’re unbalanced anyway. ~Tim
99% of the time, the image rotates anti-clockwise for me. i guess i’m so left-brained it hurts.
I’m curious. If you get it to rotate clockwise, does it keep going that way or does it immediately change back? ~Tim
I got her to reverse directions … very easy … seeing as I am typing using mostly my right hand I guess I am left brained?
I can make her reverse, but it isn’t aways easy. ~Tim
She is only going counter clockwise for me.
Don’t let it worry you. I’m not convinced this means anything. ~Tim
Nice boobies!
I can always count on you to notice the most important elements! The first one of these “tests” I ever saw was just a rectangle. I find this one a lot more fun to look at. ~Tim
The more I watch it the dizzier I get…lol!
Thanks for stoppy by ;o)
I hope you’re sitting down. ~Tim
She’s spinning clockwise. I can’t tell if she’s going left or right.
I wondered how long it would take someone to point out that “clockwise” depends on whether you are looking down on her head or up at her feet. ~Tim
I was just worried, since she seems cold.
You say that like it’s a bad thing…. ~Tim
This is so interesting…
I can’t make her go the other direction–it’s only clockwise for me. My daughter said she is going both ways to her…
Which is funny because I don’t remember which way means your logical or creative, but I always get the one that I am not–like I think I am way more English brained than I am math brained.

And how does your daughter like being able to do something that you can’t? ~Tim
Wow, that is so cool!
I could make her go both ways.
Seems impossible.
Have a great week!

That’s right. OTOH: Publishing the impossible since 2004…. ~Tim
she started out going clockwise but when i looked again she was going the other direction. my big question is why did the artist feel the need to make sure her silhouette had erect nipples?
Because the artist is a guy? I’m just guessing here because I don’t know who the artist is… ~Tim
I looked at both her head and feet and it still looks counter clockwise to me. Strange!
Maybe you’re just not holding your tongue right.
~Tim
At first all I could see was counter-clockwise. But after a while, once I knew she COULD spin the other way, I got her to change directions whenever I wanted
Yeah, it’s fun making her bounce back and forth. ~Tim
I’m just amazed that she’s still going around… she’s been doing that for days, and never seems to get tired. I wonder if the spinning will keep gravity from affecting her, um, assets…
I’m perfectly willing to keep checking her progress. And if you’d like to volunteer to spin every day too…
