Left-handed-INTJ Apsergian

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else out there? Are we rare? What does this mean? I thought being left-handed meant my left hemisphere was ret*d.

My son is left-handed

I don't think what handed you are has got anything to do with what part of the brain your using. I guess I should research into it first.

Also same with breathing out of which nostril, they say it cycles every 90mins or so. Which I also have not research to see if they tested it.

Maybe it might be a myth. Due to not having left handed stuff, etc. The first one.

Edit:- I should stick I am Right-Handed.

Left-handed INFJ.

Left-handers I've known have tended to be more lateral in their thinking...but it's a small sample group

That nostril cycling thing is interesting...

a friend in school was a left-handed INTP aspie. he is now a very successful suspecialty doctor. btw, he has an amazing vocabulary.

I am right handed I think, I use both my hand for everything except for writing, for which I use my right hand.

I once read that the Theory of Aspergers being the result of Neanderthal / Cro-magnon hybridisation stated that left handedness, flatfeet and right brain hemisphere-like thinking process would all be proof of it since Neanderthals were all left handed, had flat feet and the archaeological findings of their way of life pointed to a what by Homo Sapiens Sapiens standards would be a right brain hemisphere-like thinking.

BTW - I am flat footed, like I said I think I am right handed (as opposed to ambidextrous) and my thinking process is roughly 60% right hemisphere / 40% left hemisphere, tests always place me as right hemisphere predominant.

hmm:-

I'm a right-handed Aspie. Can't use my left hand for hardly anything.

Ambidextrous (what hand I use depends on how old I was when I learned to do it - ie: whether I was taught by a right handed person, or allowed to choose what hand I would use, if the equipment allows, though it's more a case of being equally *clumsy* with both) rather flat footed INTJ Aspie here.

I'm left-handed, INTJ and have aspergers. There's not a lot of differences between left and right handers, I think left handers are slightly less likely to have lateralization for certain cognitive functions (so if we have a stroke it's possible that we won't be as impaired as if we were right-handed). The differences are slight though, off the top of my head I think for verbal abilities 95% of right handers have left-hemisphere specialisation compared to 70% of left-handers. I know I can't participate in any of my psychology departments fMRI experiments because of left-handedness so there must be some differences.

Apparently, I'm also left handed and INTJ. To use the terms of the OP, I say it's not that my left brain is ret*d, but everyone elses right hemisphere is ret*d.
