I took this test and saw her moving clock wise. So I try to see it another way .. couldn't do it.

THEN - I begin reading the article and voila- as I'm deep into reading.. I see her from the corner of my eye dancing THE OTHER WAY!

I pick up my head to check it out ...and the witch is dancing once again clockwise..

Ok fine.. I go back to reading and when i'm deep into reading it again she does the same thing! Begins to dance counter clockwise.

I guess it would be fair to say that.. when I'm just thinking about nothing I think with my creative side. However, when I'm serious and THINKING - I work with the left side of my brain - the LOGICAL side!

Wow this test blew me away!

Let me know what you SEE and how your brain works.. this is interesting I want to see others opinions of what they see.

Copy her - Open her in a new window - do what ever you have to do to be able to see her out of the corner of your eye while reading something that will stimulate your mind where you would have to think clearly. See what happens.
