Now that’s a tricky one. How do you see the dancer turning - clockwise or counter-clockwise?
The answer to this test is given in the Daily Telegraph page.
That was good! Could anyone see the counter-clockwise turn of the figure? I coundn’t as hard as I tried.
Later Edit: I could I could 
! But I had to keep my head turned on the left side and squeeze my eyes to actually see. It’s marvellous to experience both the two perceptions.

Just playing my brain like a freakin’ instrument ! :))
Anyway, Right side wins, as far as I’m concerned…
This exercise should have been categorized as follows (because I sense this is important):
1) FIRST IMPRESSION (the perception one is having the first time it sees the figurine): Right — clockwise.
2) PERSISTENT IMPRESSION (the impression to which one returns): Right — clockwise.
3) OPPOSING IMPRESSION (the perception of opposite direction of movement / conditions of acheving it / efforts of maintaining it): Yes / After straining my eyes out of focus for nearly 2 mins. Had to look first at its legs, then move to the torso… / One tiny little distraction was enough to cause me to loose focus and revert to the Right-perception…

both ways, rapidly … maybe because I’m a man and I can imagine a woman in various positions in terms of seconds

It works! Yay! In both ways, without turning my head on the left side, or squeezing my eyes.
I can just look at the animation and at somepoint, it stops and starts to spin in the reverse direction. Very interesting! And it keeps turning even if I’m blinking…

quite very interesting, although must admit that when I first saw this image, I did see the lady dancing anti clockwise. Gees, guess smart me
