Teaser or Test?

 Spotted on the Gazebo: this test to find out whether you're left or right brained.

Most folks I know see the dancer as going clockwise, but you can get her to go counter-clockwise if you keep your gaze left of her and watch her from the corner of your eye.

Clockwise.

However, two of my coworkers and I stared at her the same time, and we all saw her turning clockwise, and at the same saw her switch to turning counter-clockwise. A trick?

Yep--

 it's just an illusion, Angela, not a legit test of right versus left activity. In fact, these guys question that whole idea:

 But it's fun, anyway.
