Pursuant to a discussion with idlewild_ last night:

Stand up and spin around. Then answer the question under the cut. No looking before spinning!

I'm not an ambiturner.

[coraline]

....but weirdly, as soon as i did it (before seeing the question!) i thought "that was the wrong direction.
i think i may have been constrained by my chair&desk.

[comicbook_greek]

As long as we all spin like Wonder Woman, does it matter the direction?

[lightcastle]

[con_girl]

Couldn't answer. If viewed from the top - CW, from the bottom CCW.

[mzrowan]

Assume viewed from the top (i.e., if you turned to your right, that's clockwise; if you turned to your left, counterclockwise).

[beowabbit]

Yeah, that. (Except that I did answer since I figured you [mzrowan] probably meant looking from the top. And then I figured that if people were looking up from the bottom, they could look up my skirt, if I were wearing a skirt, if my floor were invisible.)

I’m right-handed, BTW.

I think my actual tendencies are twofold:
1. Years of ballet caused me to tend to think of myself as turning around one leg, and I prefer to turn in the direction of that leg. (Ballet nerds call this turning "to the inside," en dedans, and even though it took me years of ballet to understand exactly what that meant, I have never found better words for it.)
2. I have slightly better balance standing on my right leg (which my broken left foot only exacerbated), so I prefer to stand on that leg.

The former preference is stronger: if I stand on my left foot, I prefer to turn counter-clockwise.

I know you needed to know this.

[lightcastle]

Huh. I do the same, probably due to dance. I have slightly better balance on the right leg, so mostly turn that way,

[horsetraveller]

I spun on my left leg.
