The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

Clearly there are deficiencies in your makeup hitherto unrevealed. Rachel, who's 11 can see it turning both ways. The first time I saw it it turned counter-clockwise, then for a long time I could only see it clockwise, like you. It is still the default view for me.
Show it to a group of people. It's interesting to me that most people see it turning anti-clockwise, as my experience is the other way around.
But don't go cross-eyed, or send me any optometrist bills!!!
