Take a look at the lady and confirm its direction of turning. Close your eyes and reopen to focus on the lady again. If it turns the other way round, it is not magic. Your brain is playing trick on you.
If you see the lady turning clockwise, you use more of your right brain. If you see it the other way, you use more of your left brain. Some people do see both ways but some people see it only one way. Please note that both directions can be seen. Try it!
Which one is clockwise and which one is anti-clockwise? For clockwise, the foot that touches the ground is lady’s left foot. For anti-clockwise, the foot that touches the ground is lady’s right foot.
Below are the differences of right brain and left brain:
| Right Brain | Left Brain |
|---|---|
| Intuitive | Logic |
| Remember images | Remember words |
| No sense of time | Time planning |
| Risk taking | Safe |
| Talk with hands | Seldom talk with hands |
| Impulsive | Organized |
| Fantasy | Practical |
| See the whole | See the details |
We have our preference when we use our brain. Some people have their right brains dominate their thinking. In opposite, some have their left brains dominate their thinking. The preference of using right brain and left brain is automatic. For example, when you want to write a letter, you will automatically use your preferred hand to write. You use it automatically without thinking whether using right hand or left hand to write. When you are purposely requested to use another hand to write, how do you feel? You may feel uncomfortable or the writing is terrible.
Sometimes, we change our thinking preference. For example, in school, when we were asked to solve mathematical questions, we will use our left brain to think although we are right brain dominated. This is because we had been taught to use our left brain for mathematical and science subjects. When we encounter new things that we haven’t face before, then our brain dominance will start to function.
If you want to see both directions of turning for lady above, try this simple way. After looking at the lady and confirm the turning direction, close your eyes for a few seconds. Then, open your eyes and focus on the shadow below the lady. You will see the lady turns on opposite direction. Still cannot see the opposite direction? Never mind! This is just for fun! Whatever right brain or left brain, it is just a whole one brain.
If you cannot see the lady turning on either way, it does not mean that your brain is dead. Don’t worry! Relax! Do not go and scare your doctor! This is because your internet connection or your computer is dead causing the picture does not function correctly, not your brain!
If you can switch the turning direction immediately whenever you want, then you are genius! You can control your mind such as switch on and switch off the light.
If you have better idea on how to see the opposite direction, you are welcome to add your comment on this post.
You can also add your comment on which turning direction you see on the first look. Is it clockwise or anti-clockwise? I see clockwise turning for first look. How about you?

It is OK to see both sides. The turning direction you see at the first look tells you which side of your brain dominates.
