Which way does she spin for you?

I would have thought I was a Right side thinker..... but it appears I am not....

According to the Mind Motivations test:

►If you see a clockwise rotation, you are a right-brain thinker.

►If you see a counter-clockwise spin, you are a left-brain thinker.

Left brain is analytical/critical thinker.
Right is art/image/'free' thinker.

The right side controls creative tasks,
while the left side is where logic, language and reasoning reside

She's hot!

My first glance has her spinning clockwise.

I concentrated and she changes directions.

Peculiar!

To have her change direction, we must first look at her without moving our eyes horizontally. If our eyes are focused on a part of her body that is moving then our eye motion cues our brain to interpret her motion consistent with our eye's tracking path. So first, we must focus on a stationary spot, such as the heel of her foot upon which she rotates, thus our eyes are focused and not moving. Next, we empty our mind, if necessary close our eyes momentarily. At this point, we can control the direction of her spin by simply exercising mental auditory rehearsing, (i.e. mentally speak) words such as "chemistry, physics" vs "art, music". After mentally reciting left brain words such as "chemistry, physics", at a point of perceptual neutrality (i.e. focused on a horizontally stationary spot such as the rotation point at her heel) she will spin to her left. Conversely, mentally reciting "art, music" and she will spin the her right!

Blinking your eyes rapidly can also cause her to change direction

I think leftward. But I use the right side too, to post sticky notes.
