it kept switching both ways for me.. started out counter-clockwise the first time i saw it, then kept switching.
the next time i went back to the site(some hours later) it started off clockwise and then when it started switching it did it frequently.
ive taken a 'leftbrain/rightbrain' test that says im 11% left brained and 9% right brained. idk why they did it out of 20%?

I see her only going clockwise, can't make myself see it any other way.
Weird thing is, a couple years ago when I took a lengthy left/right brain test I scored exactly 50/50 - right in the middle. So maybe we can change over time.
It's not rigged, just an optical illusion. It's an animated gif, so I opened it up in an animated gif editing program - it's a single neverending loop that doesn't change. When you look at it frame by frame, it's easy to see the spots where your perception of the image might change the direction for you - but it doesn't replay in reverse like some here are thinking.
Since she's a silhouette, our brains assume when she's facing us and facing away from us while she's spinning. The trick is to force your brain to think she is facing the opposite direction that she seems to be facing while spinning. This will change the direction she is spinning.
