Perception test



I'm going to continue the rest of this post in white text so as not to unduly influence the experiment.

According to this article, the spinning image should come out as looking like she's going anti-clockwise if you're left-brain-oriented and clockwise if you're right-brain-oriented. And looking at the list of characteristics they give for the two, I'd be heavily a left-brain person. But I see it going clockwise. And here's the thing - I've tried reversing it in my head, to interpret it so that she's spinning anti-clockwise, but I can't do it. So is this test bugged? Does anyone see it as her spinning anti-clockwise?
