That's weird at first I saw it clockwise, but then anti-clock wise and that stayed, I tried it a couple of times and could see both ways.  ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

First time I saw this I thought the people must be smoking dope. She was just going Clockwise and then I just concentrated on the shadow of her one foot and tried to will her to go the other way and she did. And I was like okay who messed with my tea.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I could see both as well so I copied the things they say about each side and the blue are what I think I am. So i'm mostly right side - the creative side.

Ok I went back and tried again ... and Im must definately be a "non creative" type as I couldnt get her to budge one bit in the other direction ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

When i first saw it she was going anti-clockwise, then when I was reading the writing she started going clockwise and I couldnt get it to go back the other way again  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

i could only get her to go clockwise 
oh then i scared the cr*p outta myself by clicking on the 'how good are you at concentrating' question. if your pregnant definiatly dont click on it. its one of those ones that makes you concentrate really hard then a freaky picture suddenly pops up on screen and screams. im still trying to calm down.  -------------

Maybe its a "Mummy" thing ... when you have kids running around you need both sides of the brain to work ... so maybe I should try after Isabelle arrives then Im sure she will turn both ways ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

I'm left handed too and I can only see her going clockwise.
The right brain functions list pretty much covers me except I suck at spatial awareness. Though I am pretty good at words and strategies (though I would argue that strategy comes from seeing the 'big picture' anyway) -------------

I saw her clockwise and then as I was reading the explanation she changed to anticlockwise, very strange. -------------

Like Peace, she was definitely clockwise but when I watched her foot or tried to read at the left of the screen, she flicked - but not for long. Clockwise was definitely the strength. But it's weird because I'm definitely not right-brained. I'll show you:

OMG! how freaky! Ha ha, my DH just pushed past me trying to look behind the sceen to make her change...what an idiot! 
I couldn't control her at all, she kept changing direction on me everytime I blinked or looked away for a second...I really wanted to keep her going in the same direction but alas, she keeps on changing on me. DH was clockwise btw which surprised me cos I would have def thought he was a left brain man ------------- http://tickers.families.com">

Wow! That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. When I first looked she was anti-clockwise but then she alternated between the two! I must be pretty balanced between the two.
It was so funny as DH and I were looking together and when I saw her going clock-wise, he saw anti and vice versa. Freaky! Ouch, my eyes hurt now! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |
