Okay so I want to try and make a correlation between personality types and perception.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q40/fragileskate/000.gif

Some of you have probably seen this before.
All I would like you guys to do is take a look at it, and tell me which direction you see it going, clockwise or anti clockwise. and then state your mbti type. I want to see if there is a pattern.

So far I see it going clockwise 98% of the time, I can percieve the shadow underneath going anticlockwise easily but not the body. My friend is an esfp and he says he see's it going BOTH ways.

Clockwise.

INFJ.

There's no way it could be going counterclockwise.

When I first opened the image up, I saw it going Counterclockwise.

INFJ

It then took me about half a minute of concentrated effort to see it going Clockwise instead - and I had to look at the shadow for a bit in order to achieve that.

However, the funny thing is that after having then viewed it Clockwise, I had an impossible time getting it go back to Counterclockwise. Edit: I opened it a few minutes later and it was Clockwise. Very strange that I was initially Counterclockwise, and after training my brain, I cannot see it any longer. I'm actually kind of aggravated at this.

Clockwise.

I've seen this .gif before and have never seen it going counter-clockwise until you mentioned looking at the shadow, which I saw it then going counter-clockwise for a few rotations before my brain 'corrects' it and makes me think it is going clockwise again.

Every time I've seen this image, it's always gone clockwise.

INFJ

EDIT: :shock:

Now it's broken. It's going counterclockwise :huh:

When I stare at the shadow, the body starts to move counterclockwise. Well, would you look at that. Now I can't stop staring at it :laugh: I can play with it and switch movement! The shadow, however, only goes counterclockwise.

it's always clockwise at first, but there's a way of changing it's direction by looking at the feet.

I've done something else and randomly went back to this picture 5 times... the image was out of my head. It's always been counter clockwise. INFP

I just asked one of my INTJ friends and she can see it going both ways as well.

I see it clockwise naturally, but I can see it going counter-clockwise when I try as well.

I saw counterclockwise first, but then after a minute or so was able to see clockwise too.

ahh my internet went down didn't get my last post.

Well I was staring at the shadow of the image in counter clockwise motion for a few minutes, then I was getting lost in thought how I do often cuz I'm intj, then I noticed I felt a little happy, then when I looked up at the image it was going counter clockwise clearly. It was really odd but the main thing I noticed is I was using feeling function when I saw it going counter clockwise.

edit: then a few minutes later I looked back and it was going clockwise again.
