Clasp your hands together with your fingers interlinked. The thumb on top is your dominant thumb.

Mine is my right thumb, what about you?

It doesn't seem to have much to do with being left-handed or right-handed in my experience. I tried this with a group of seven right handed people and one left handed person. Three of the right-handed people were "right-thumbed" and the rest were "left-thumbed". The left handed person was "right thumbed". I have other examples to but it take too long to list them all.

I switch em up a lot when I do that I think because of OCD. My right may be on top at 1st but then i feel the urge to do it with my left on top. I think my thumbs may be ambidextrous. I'm right handed thou

Right over here. I suppose I'm right hand dominant now, but as a kid I preferred my left. I still do lots of things left handed.

OK. Maybe a moderator can add a "both" option or something?

Right thumb, right handed.

I can get my left thumb dominant if I move the intertwining of my fingers one finger gap down so my right pinky is on the bottom. It doesn't feel natural though.

Left thumb and right handed though I'm almost ambidextrous.
