I see it as clockwise, but then again silhouettes of naked women do not bring out the best of my cognitive processes.

I originally used a spoiler because the image was large & just tried to reduce visual/motion clutter in the topic. I also "hid" my hint with font size/color for those who wanted to just try and guess why it's a trick question without someone telling them what to look for.
(click to show/hide)Like I said, I can change her direction at will. She is spinning neither clockwise nor counterclockwise ... each person who looks decides what direction they "want" to see her spinning. Notice the axis through her center of gravity that she spins around. You can shift your viewpoint for it to be slanted "away" from you or "toward" you, and her spin direction then changes.
It's a pretty classic optical illusion; first time I saw it with this dancer, but I've seen several similar examples before. It's a negative/positive space perception test. You can view a mask as having a positive or a negative topology; this is just another way to play with the same shift using motion instead of being static.

In fact an optical illusion is still just an illusion - so there's a "correct" answer - the girl's just a 3d model that hasn't any shadow/light applied to it (if it had you'd clearly see how she was really rotating, however you only get the silhouette of the girl and the perspective is chosen so that you can mistake the rotation - so that if you overlook some details it would be "easy" to get the illusion that she is rotating counter-clockwise). The same's with the example with the mask (in this case it is also a matter of shadows - you can think of the mask as either "in" or "out" depending on the shadows/the postion of the light source) - what's more if you hadn't noticed you need some time to "adjust" to the illusion - because it is an illusion - it has flaws - so in order to overlook them you need a little time I'd guess.

You are wrong sorry. This picture is a well known one and there is no "good" answer as of what way she is rotating. In fact it's the all point, but it's very hard once you think she is turning one side to try to see her the other side.

its true when i saw during my test i went counter clock then i looked now and its clock and then i closed my eyes for a sec and looked again it was counter

Switching the direction is pretty simple to do: ignore most of the moving parts, concentrating only at the pivot (foot) and imagining the direction of the rotation, and the rest would follow.
But I think the immediate direction would correspond to whatever direction you use for standing balance. I can stand on my right foot more comfortably than on my left, so it's easier for me to imagine clockwise rotation (z-axis up).
elvikun:
Your rating for extraversion is 3.8.
Your rating for agreeableness is 3.5.
Your rating for conscientiousness is 3.1
Your rating for neuroticism is 2.4.
Your rating for openness is 4.3.
...frankly, I do not think the test is very accurate. The questions are too short and could be interpreted in different ways depending on context, not to mention most of the questions were in the test at least twice, just reworded a bit. Like "I don't talk much" and "I talk a lot" hehe. Perhaps it was an intention, but you can afford to do such a thing seriously only in tests with hunderths of questions, to have the desirable effect on tested subject :P
And the ballerina animation is old as time itself it seems, and there is no correct answer, unless you apply shadows. Untill then, it's as you wish.

It's standard for psychometric tests to ask the same question twice in different words. It's a way to check if the testee is giving consistent answers.
Kam:
I thought my Jung test type was the most accurate description of myself. I couldn't believe my conscientiousness was 4.7 on the first test, though.
megido-rev.M:
Supposedly the Jung test categorizations are simply best-fit. I can't agree on the part concerning emotions in the INTP description.
