I'm right-handed. My handwriting still looks like a seven-year-old's though. When I was studying Law in college everyone else's writing I could see looked cultured and refined and mine looked like a kid's who's just past scribbling - yet ironically my answers were more verbose and intelligent.


I could say the same thing about my writing. . . .arghhh.

I am very strong right handed. My left hand is very weak by comparison.

My hand writing is pretty bad regardless of which hand I use, but I doubt it would be even recognizable as english if I used my left hand.

Interesting, my uncle who is left-handed, propably has better handwriting with his right hand, then I do with my right hand. My hand writing is that bad.

I do most things with my right hand, though not out of any great ease with it. I just find that about 90% of everything in this world is set up for righties. I write right handed, because my teachers have virtually all been right handed, though when I've had left handed teachers, I've occasionally switched. I tend to copy others. I can write equally as well with both hands, forwards and backwards.

So far 18% of the voters are left handed, 6% above the world wide average, but with such a small sample it is probably of little signifance, statistical or otherwise. I'm supprised to see that there are only two Strongly Ambidextrous Righty's.

It might make SOME difference as to the type of Aspies one tends to get on computer sites as well, especially if there is any truth to Right-brained/Left-brained in relation to side dominance.
