Title: *** Which is your dominant hand? ***
Post by: DYM on August 13, 2020, 08:06:56 am
Today, 13th of August, is International Lefthanders Day, to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed people. Having said that, it would be nice to know how many Eliters are left-handed, so here's a HEALTHY poll. Perhaps this is related to OCB/OCJ and controller grip too, who knows.

I'm sure you know which one your dominant hand is, but a nice way to see how good your dexterity is might be to play this game: https://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/java/rldot.html

With one attempt, I scored 32 with my right-hand, but only 23 with my left-hand.

I am left handed/ambidextrous. I do a lot of things with my right hand, for example use scissors and peel potatoes/carrots etc. And I use a right-hand mouse. I can peel with my left hand also if I want to - almost as good/fast. I can't really write with my right hand though.

I scored 34 with my right-hand and 25 with my left-hand.

When I play tennis, I'm often switching hands for the racket as I feel equally comfortable with both. I also feel I'm slightly stronger in my right hand/arm for some reason (and usually end up carrying stuff with it more often than left hand/arm) but if I were to throw a ball as far away as I could, I definitely would use my left hand.
