Handedness/chirality

Post Reply New Topic

Just curious to see what the proportions are here.
I omitted an option for 'ambidextrous' simply because I'm interested in your primary handedness... for example, some lefties (especially older ones) write rightie but do most everything else lefty... that doesn't qualify for ambi, imo, as it's most often a result of being forced to learn to write incorrectly/conform to some stupid societal notion.

I'm a Lefty and I'm proud of it.

Right.

All polar bears are left handed.

Yeah but since polar bears don't (afaik) use the net or have Aspergers, they're exempt.
And you're (afaik, again) not a polar bear.

Cross Dominant

I use both hands equally.

Right. But I can use left too (though not as good)

Right handed. Never heard the word 'chirality' before, although I knew 'cheir' meant hand in Greek.

Proud southpaw, however my right hand is about 75%. Except for writing and a few other things it works just as well as my left.

I'm a lefty. Society and humans in general are so mean to left-handed people! Just look at ambidexterity: it means using both hands as though they were the right hand.

And while the right hand is associated with goodness and all things positive, the left hand is always made to seem evil and bad. It's not fair!

I'm a leftie.

It depends. Always left for writing though.

Lefty.
I tried using my right to throw a baseball and I hit someone.

I am what some people could call a "true ambidextrous person". I can write with either hand (and equally well, though my handwriting looks slightly different) and the only activities I almost always do with the same hand are eat left-handed and brush my teeth (and usually, hair) right-handed. Other than that, it is whatever hand is convenient.

Oh yeah, and I type more with my left hand and use the mouse right-handed.

Lefty pretty much for everything. It's a very small sample so far, but still think it's interesting that 31% of the respondents are lefties (3.4 times greater than in the population as a whole).
