Ah, a very complex question indeed! Of course the substance one is stirring plays a significant role as to the direction it is stirred.
:) Generally clockwise for me..

Right handed. Both ways -- Start counter clockwise get to full stir, then switch to clockwise, get to full stir, repeat :)

I think it depends on whether u're a righty or a lefty. Lefty usually doing this counter-clockwise.

Me: counter-clockwise

clockwise to get it going and then change quickly and reverse (produces nice ripples). Repeat for 1-2 min

Clockwise always, although it is fun to "throw it in reverse" and get the ripples going:)

I take one of the mixing "things" from my wife's egg beater and chuck it in a DeWalt 24volt cordless drill. Set the gearbox on high (2) and plunge the mess in the pitcher and let it rip. Gets the equivalent of a Lipton F5 going too! It's great.

:)

Cheers!

I'm a righty and it seems like I always stirs counter-clockwise. This applies to both smaller objects like cups etc. and bigger things like bowls etc.
