jesus, when I first looked at it I saw her constantly changing back and forth, so one turn clock wise, one turn counter, back and forth until she kept going clockwise, and if I watch her feet and think about it going one particular way it just kinda goes that way..weird but cool

Well ask yourself is the doll motioning towards her left or right? If right, then its clockwise. If left, then its anti-clockwise. It is moving in a circular motion towards her right, hence it is a clockwise motion.

lol i feel you my friend. all of sudden it starts move in a circular motion to her left.

Is this real or is just an animation changing direction every now and again.

I close my eyes and imagine it turning clockwise or anti-clockwise and open them and it does it every time;o

I think this is very inaccurate as I usually consider myself more logical than creative as I am more inclined into the scientific world rather than the artistic world.

I saw it CLOCKWISE at first also, as for science that is more tricky following the list:
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

All of those are also important in science, Einstein said that imagination is very important. Other things like religion can be sub effect of useful work of right part of the brain. I think that understanding of science give me "spiritual" feeling. I can't be sure becouse in Church give me only impression, that religion is stupid, and no feelings attached to it at all. Can't say that symbols or images work on me at all, I am good at math also. I am definitely more interesting in general theory not in details that I only like when they are necessary to understand theory, and presented as part of it to make full picture.

if you wanna break it, watch where the foot that's sticking out intersects with the foot that's just sitting and isn't swiveling - it seems like your mind decides on which direction it's going by which way you initially think it crosses, so if you look at that swiveling foot as though it's a pendulum that never crosses behind the back of the leg/calf then you can decide which direction you want to see it going in and sit back to look at the big picture

worked for me at least :p

Method

You want to focus on her legs, as other's have said.

Notice one of her leg is the base, aka it does not move but only rotates. We will call this the base leg
The other one spins around it in a circle, clockwise or counter-clockwise. Lets call this the swing leg

You see her turning one way, for the most of us it remains that way for a good deal. If you focus on her legs, you notice her swing leg repeatedly going behind the base leg and in front.

Start counting with your sequence. When the swing leg is in front, say front, and when it is behind the base, say back.

So now you should be counting:
Front, Back, Front, Back, Front, Back.

Now only focusing on the legs, and do
Front, Back, Front, Back, Front, FRONT, back, front, back

It will feel very unnatural for awhile, but just keep counting the front-back in reverse order and really try to believe/perceive the dancer's leg spinning in the same direction you are talking about.

Direction should change shortly if you really focus on counting it.

Oh yeah I'm right-brained, although I managed to get stuck on counter for a good while keke.

how I did it was to not focus on the image, stare at the corner of your monitor so you only see a big of the imagine with the corner of your eyes Then imagine it turning the opposite way, look at it, and BAM.
