I'm left handed and I always stir counter clockwise. If I change to stirring with my right hand, then it's clockwise. We lefties just do things the other way round to right handers.

Nice - just the kind of random stats that I like to see.

What software did you use to draw those nice graphs?

Right handed, use left hand for cutting and stirring, and I stir in a counter-clockwise direction.

And I make damn good coffee ;)

@StevenMcD - glad to see I'm not the only random person around here!

@justBcoz - I wish I had the answers for you. I really wanted to know if left- or right-brain had any effect in this but I don't see any sign of this from my anecdotal experience. I think there's a model for a research paper here ;)

I couldn't agree with Steve more if I tried :)

I was one of the counter clock stirrer lab rats. Random post, but fun :)

Bloody hell! Thats random, but very interesting...

I'm sure there will be plenty of interesting theories, although Steven, I have disagree strongly with yours! We'll have a showdown on that next time we see each other as I'm right handed and stir clockwise. ;)

Ok, I would NEVER have given this ANY thought whatsoever =)

But now, dammit, I want to know - what DOES make me stir my tea/coffee clockwise (I am right handed.)

I wonder if this has any connection to whether one is left or right brained?

Is there any significance in it all? What, if anything, does it reveal ....?

I'm a righty who stirrs counter clockwise because its more comfortable for me. Here's another funny fact.

get 2 people to make you a mug of coffee, a person who stirs clockwise and one who stirs counter clockwise. Make sure they use the same amount of coffee and/or sugar and taste the difference.

Us counter-clockwise stirrers always make the best mug of coffee, no jokes, ask my entire family and my fiance's family. (I'm the only counter clockwise stirrer )
