| I wouldn't say it should be 'counter clockwise' - I live in Australia and while I've heard it referred to as 'counter' - the more common term here is 'anti-clockwise'. Seems it is all relative to location. |

| Honestly.....It all depends on the day! It's really funny, if I'm in a good mood I draw my circle clockwise. Not so good mood, anticlockwise. |

| anti-clockwise
wouldn't most right-handed people draw anti-clockwise?
it's harder for the hand to come back up on its self? |

oh, and drawing a circle after reading the question would have caused some demand characteristics so you can't rely on the way you drew it then... |

| it actually depends..
if im circling something then it's anit-clockwise..
but if im drawing just a circle then its clockwise..
well actually it just depends on which ever way i draw my circles..
IDK! |

| This is actually an interesting poll. I am a counter clockwise kinda guy? Well that's what I put but I might do clockwise as well...? Whatever is more convenient. |

| I never heard it as anti-clockwise, everyone I know says counter-clockwise...
Thank you, I thought anti- sounded weird (not wrong, I know it depends on what country your in, etc) but I couldn't figure out what it would be instead.
Ok, enough useless rambling, time to answer the question. I draw circles counter-clockwise |

| Anti. I think.
just to support myself. . .I looked up images of those old letter writing instruction things from grade school, and pretty much every one of them has an "o" being done in a anti-clockwise direction
And WHAT? There are some kind of instructions on how to draw a circle that you're taught at school?!?! That's just... wtf?! |

| not a circle, but for letters, and since "O" is essentially a circle 
worksheets like this |

| interesting.. never thought of it.
I draw the circle anti clockwise with my right hand. Although if i were to draw it with my left hand (which I rarely do), it's clockwise |
