I saw it anticlockwise, looked at the writing for a second, then looked back. It was going clockwise. Looked away for an instant again and she is going anticlockwise.

I took a test many years back and found I was almost perfectly balanced between the rational and the creative, with a slight nod toward the creative side.

I hear being perfectly balanced is a bad thing.

Mostly cw. Pretty interesting, but no author, no scientific citations, so not very believable.
But it does raise a question I've been trying to figure out: Since we see the girl rotating because the computer rapidly displays a series of still frames one after the other, would we all be in agreement with her direction of rotation if we could examine each of those stills one at a time?

It's kind of fun to look at with someone else. My girlfriend who is most definitely a right brained person and I looked at and we both saw it switch back and forth but opposite directions. That explains a lot
