Are you left-or-right-wired?

It is the test of the Right brain with the Left brain, and it’s time to concentrate, not on the lady, but her movement, that’s gonna decide the rest. If you see her moving clockwise, then you’re using the creative side of your brain, that is the Right. Whereas, if you see her move anti-clockwise, then you’re using the logical part of your brain, that is the Left.

Which way are you, or rather, how accurate do you think this test is?

Spoiler:

If you find the trick, you can get her to spin both ways at will!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yes, I don't think it really tells you whether you're right or left wired. Just a fun optical illusion.

I think packrat nails it pretty well. Look at the shadows of her feet. You will notice it will change direction once it hits the extreme left or extreme right, i.e rotate 180 degrees.
So to control the direction, once you make her rotate in the direction you want, stare anywhere else but the lower portion, and it will stay

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes. You can use your peripheral vision to alter her direction. But you must only look back only after she crossed the 180degree mark


+Left - +Right

With - being the center of rotation, + being the furthest point of horizontal rotation,

if she is rotating clockwise, switch to peripheral, wait til she rotates to +left, you will notice she changes direction.
So look back 1 sec later, and voila, the direction is changed.

so in short the +left or +right point is the point where she changes direction

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
