I recently took a test where I had to look at a completely black twirling dancer and say whether she was revolving clockwise or anticlockwise. When I first glanced at it, it was spinning clockwise, but when I looked at it a second time it was spinning anticlockwise. I discovered I could very easily switch my perception of her movement back and forth as I chose.
Not knowing what to do, I clicked clockwise, as that was the first way I saw her. The test said I was right-brained. This confuses me also, because I had always heard that right-handed people (as I am) are left-brain oriented.
So what am I? Left? Right? Both? If I'm both, what is that called?

1. I thought that ambidextrous only applied to hands? And I know I'm only right-handed.
2. I know getting it from the internet isn't exactly fool-proof, but it intrigued me how I could flip the whole perception at will, so I wanted to know.

3. Did the corner test. Got left-brain, but not by much. Took me a few tries.
4. I'll try to make this simple for the last guy; It can be said either way. In fact, in England it is primarily said anticlockwise. Douche.
