It's Backwards ?!

So I noticed my idle was a bit high... I went to lower it, by all manuals/accounts/how-tos the idle screw on the IAC goes counter-clockwise to lower, and every time I turned it clockwise it lowered. It idles like a kitten now and it brought back its off the start pep... but it had me confused as hell it was backwards, is my car a demon or am I mistaken?

IAC adjustment screw... counter clockwise for higher or lower idle ?

Rubber plug.

Everywhere I read is a clockwise for increase in idle, but mine decreases it. Not complaining, just curious as it had me confused and laughing at it.
