Clockwise or Counter?

[Fujiko]

Counter-clockwise. I've always done that. Even when I draw circles (e.g. the number zero or the letter O) it's counter-clockwise. I believe counter-clockwise means you're left-brain dominant, and clockwise means you're right-brain dominant?

Also, this reminded me of the spinning girl test. B)

[Though when it comes to that spinning girl I sometimes see her spinning clockwise, and sometimes counter-clockwise.]

What if you can make her change direction at will?

What does that have to do with which direction you initially see her spin in? I don't think the point of that test is to keep staring at her for minutes ongoing to see if you can make her change directions (though, as a side note, it would be interesting to try and see if you can); the point is most probably to find out which part of the brain you're most dominant with; left or right. You only need to look at her for a short while to notice in which direction she's spinning; clockwise or counter-clockwise.

But I've tried to make her change direction before, and it didn't work for me at the same instant. The first time I saw that spinning woman (which was a long time ago) I think I saw her spinning clockwise at the time. But when someone reminded me of the test and I looked at the picture again after all that time, I saw her spinning counter-clockwise. So I believe that if you're neither dominant with the left nor right (if you're somewhere in the middle), you could probably make her spin in the direction you want her to spin if you stare at her long enough.
