Well, a few of you know what I'm talking about. You can just skip to the end of this topic, where I will be posting results in a few days then. Before you read any further, I would like you to get a piece of paper and a pencil. Done? Good. Now, draw a circle. Do it. Now, are you left handed or right handed? Did you draw it counterclockwise, or clockwise? Please post your results.

Left handed. Counterclockwise.
Unrelated note: I dunno what it is, but what my right hand drew is decidedly not a circle.

It's ok, my left hand managed to draw a square. A squiggly round-edged square, but still a square.

| Right handed, I drew it CCW. I tried left handed and it came out best if I went CW. |

In case none of you know this already, Tygerwulf is doing research for his doctoral thesis entitled "A Study of Handedness As Applied to Circle Drawing"

I'm right-handed, did it clockwise automatically.
But, if I do it left-handed, counterclockwise produces a better circle than left-handed/clockwise. Wee.
