Talking Clockwise or counterclockwise?

After reading this thread, I started researching eye dominance. I can't help it! I am a very curious person!
So, I can across this. Which has nothing to do with eyes. But I found it interesting.

At first glance it was spinning counterclockwise for me, but after looking at it for half a minute or so, it started switching back and forth.
So I guess my brains are balanced, lol.

It was really driving me crazy though. For nearly ten minutes I was convinced that the gif was actually switching direction!

Anyways, which way does she spin for you?





















If you see clockwise you're apparently right-brain dominant.
Counterclockwise and you're left-brain dominant.
Don't know if I buy into all that though...
Overheard: You have a dominant hand, dominant eye and even a dominant foot. Why not a dominant side of the brain?

I see it going clockwise. I even tried to concentrate and couldn't get myself to see it counter.

Mostly clockwise, but sometimes counter clockwise, and sometimes she oscillates.

Maybe it's my browser (FF) or my monitor or whatever, but she's just twitching like she's having a seizure for me.

I can see her doing it both ways - no, no, no her leg swings both ways. I've seen this before and have had no trouble seeing the illusion, just stare at her legs a while and blankly imagine it changing direction and it will. No need for drugs

Why do I have to be the one person that can glance at someone and notice things like if their fly is open?

I was focusing on her arm, thinking maybe it would change direction if I focused there, and has anyone else noticed that this figure has erect nipples? Or am I the only one?

So I see it goes one way then I see it goes the other. Does that mean I have a split personality, an open mind or able to see things from both sides?

I say clock wise. However she went back and forth when I looked at it for a minute.

Both directions for me, first she was a bit stubborn, I couldn't make her go counter-clockwise, but then she let go of it.
