Clockwise or Counter?

[~*~Celes~*~]

Like rubah, I stir both ways.

[Fujiko]

Counter-clockwise. I've always done that. Even when I draw circles (e.g. the number zero or the letter O) it's counter-clockwise. I believe counter-clockwise means you're left-brain dominant, and clockwise means you're right-brain dominant?

Also, this reminded me of the spinning girl test. B)

[Though when it comes to that spinning girl I sometimes see her spinning clockwise, and sometimes counter-clockwise.]

[smittenkitten]

I stir counterclockwise first. ^^

[I Took the Red Pill]

I feel like I mostly stir counterclockwise with my left hand. This is just an educated guess (i.e. i did it in the air and decided which one was more likely) though, 'cause I don't think I've ever really thought about it.

What if you can make her change direction at will?

[Breine]

I don't know. Never thought about it.

..clockwise maybe? I think it varies.

[Meat Puppet]

clockwise left-hand
now what

What does that have to do with which direction you initially see her spin in? I don't think the point of that test is to keep staring at her for minutes ongoing to see if you can make her change directions (though, as a side note, it would be interesting to try and see if you can); the point is most probably to find out which part of the brain you're most dominant with; left or right. You only need to look at her for a short while to notice in which direction she's spinning; clockwise or counter-clockwise.

But I've tried to make her change direction before, and it didn't work for me at the same instant. The first time I saw that spinning woman (which was a long time ago) I think I saw her spinning clockwise at the time. But when someone reminded me of the test and I looked at the picture again after all that time, I saw her spinning counter-clockwise. So I believe that if you're neither dominant with the left nor right (if you're somewhere in the middle), you could probably make her spin in the direction you want her to spin if you stare at her long enough.

Counterclockwise with my right hand

This. I think doing it another way would feel weird to me.

[Evastio]

Counterclockwise with my right hand for me as well.

Is the direction you stir in affected by your primary hand or something?

[Aerith's Knight]

Is the direction you stir in affected by your primary hand or something?

I would say your primary hand and the way you scoop things.

[NorthernChaosGod]

well, I start off stirring clockwise, but that's not very efficient, so I'll throw in counterclockwise motion as well to increase the rate at which I disperse particles in the mixture.

Add another for this.

[qwertysaur]

Both.

[Jiro]

Starts counterclockwise, then switch to disperse particles or however rubah made it sound really smart.

[Madame Adequate]

I had to think about it, because it's not something I pay attention to. I think I go for clockwise over counter about 70% of the time.
