Left or Right handed?

I remember there was this program I saw ages ago which is about left hander vs right hander brain activities etc. I think it was a study about creativity and logic side of the brain.

They conducted the experiment on a pair of identical twins, and they had to explain the reasoning behind it, and how they raised one as a left hander and the other as a right.

Here they explained the concept behind left and right handers:

There's no such thing as "left hander gene", contrarily there exists a "right hander gene" which is dominant. The gene basically forces a right hand preference in the person.

The twins were born without this gene, so they're free to grow up as left or right handers, and it's the external influence that drove them each way.


I can see advantages in the right hand gene due to the examples named - if everyone's right handed then it certainly makes life a lot easier where instruments are concern. On the other hand I certainly would think it's more benefitial to eliminate the right hand gene so that we can "train" ourselves to use certain instrucments with right hand and certain with left.

I was a left hander as a toddler but got the right hand beaten into me for writing. I still struggle to do certain things right handed though - the stuff that my dad never took notice of.

I still write with my right hand because of the way letters are shaped, you'd be pushing against the paper to write left handed. However I can draw large stuff left handed, precision drawing still in the right.

I can't cut meat with my right hand so I hold my knife and forks opposite. I can't peel oranges with my right either, and I can only pour liquid out of a container properly with my left handed, as well as holding mugs with my left by preference.

However I can do better kicks with my right in martial arts, though my left caft is massive cuz I do all the balancing on it while kicking.
 
I'm a leftie, but can use a mouse in either hand, and use a knife and fork the same way a right handed person would. Odd thing about my flat in first year at university was that 4 out of 5 people were left handed. Must be pretty low chances of that happening!
 
Im right handed and right footed playing football.
Ambidextrous when playing pool and snooker, but mainly play right handed appart from tricky shots where people normally cant get the pot right handed i just use left.
And skateboarding im a Regular footed Mongo skater :)
I eat with my fork in my right hand, but when im cutting i swap and use my knife in my right hand.
I use my mouse in my right hand.

Use my left foot for clutch and brake, right foot for just the gas

I'm Left handed, and i remember hearing about left handed people where thought to be minions of the devil, but i took no notice of it. However i do remember when i was in school being force to do music for 2 years, my music teacher would tell me not play instruments left handed, saying i wasnt doing it the "RIGHT WAY"

I should have called her racist!

I do the following:

- Writing/Drawing (left)
- Eating (right)
- Football (both feet)
- Throwing/Punching (either)
- Pool/Snooker (left handed)
 
I'm left handed, woop.

I eat with my fork in left and knife in the right how good manners should be taught to you, and use the mouse with my right hand. I'm fairly well balanced right sided though, I'm not hopeless at writing right handed, and my right foot in football isn't too bad.

I think being left footed in terms of clutch control and gear changing was a nice easy bonus too.

Perhaps but why do most countries in the World drive on the right, even those that were ex-British colonies?

I thought it was originally a "british" (saxon at the time?) thing to travel on the left and being the stubborn french fools that we are, decided that anything contrary to England was something worth doing :D
 
A lefty here as well. But like a few others I use my right a lot as well

Writing/Drawing - Left
Eating - Left
Football - Left
Throwing/Punching - Left
Pool/Snooker - Left
W*nking - Left

Computer Mouse - Right
Golf/ Cricket - Right

Weird
 
I'm a leftie, but due to the way I learned things I use my right hand for my mouse and eat with my knife and fork in the normal way, and am hopeless at using left handed scissors, so I do that right handed as well, but for pretty much everything else I use my left hand. Both footed at football.
 
Left handed, but i do most things right handed.

The only things i can think of that i actually do left handed, are write, paint (as in a picture) and draw.

mouse = left + right

skateboarding = regular which is kinda 'right' as its normal lol
scissors = left + right
