Right-handed for almost everything, but also left-eyed, left-eared, left-footed.

mmm, so does this make me right-handed or left-handed? I've never thought of it before. I've just considered myself right-handed because that's the hand I write with. is that how you define hand-dominance?

Very interesting thread, I hadn't heard of this before...

I'm definitely a righty, though my handwriting is so bad I may as well be a lefty :roll: Only thing I'm left handed with is a PC joystick (which is probably due to joystick/d-pad on the left being the general standard). Except for Atari 2600...I even made a custom joystick that moved the button to the other side, it felt wrong.

Left is winning by a fair margin.

Same here, lefty for everything except scissors, it because normal scissors (all tools in reality) are designed for righties.

Hi All;

I think this thread corrilates nicely with the "nature vs. nurture" issue.

I was born left handed, but my mother would slap me whenever I favored my left hand. Thus, now I am very right handed, poorly. I do however shoot a pistol, as another poster has indicated, right handed, but left eyed. My father, whom I doubt was AS due to his enormous empathy, was somewhat ambidexterous, (wrote with his right hand, threw a ball with his left). Interestingly, I credit my father with teaching me HOW to think, and yet I seem to be devoid of empathy. Another interesting fact, is that my father was raised mainly among women, whereas I did not bond with my mother untill the age of 31.

I am extrordinarily "right brained".

Regards,

supahneko

Every test I've taken puts me somewhere inbetween right and left brained...which sucks, because the halves are always fighting for supremecy =/
