I am dizzy!

I have a feeling it's more about which side of the brain is predominating at the moment you're looking at the image, not which side predominates generally. Just the fact of it being an image - and having movement - and being a dancer on top of that - maybe is going to bias the test toward the right brain? This just suggested itself to me when I had a similar experience to LTBC's.

I agree. I would say I'm a very logical math+science problem-solving type, but she was revolving merrily clockwise no matter how long I stared at her. Then I read the text in an ad underneath - and swish, she was revolving the other way. Looked at her - swish, clockwise again. I turned off the music I was listening to and read the ad again - counterclockwise. Music back on, looked at her - within three seconds she was revolving clockwise.

Fascinating. I do think that a dancer biases to right brain perception. If it was a formula or a word you had to read or understand I suspect there would be more left brain perception.

after reading the responses here.....my conclusion.....this little test is not valid! We cyclists have trained ourselves to be very aware of our surroundings! So there!
