Handedness?
« on: May 13, 2012, 04:58:48 PM »
After reading up a bit on some characteristics of left-handed people (such as myself!), I'm curious to see this community's handedness.
Apparently, left-handed people are naturally better at video games (due to their ability to handle large amounts of stimuli), are more likely to become alcoholics, are more easily affected by fear and/or other strong emotions, and are more artistically inclined than right-handed people.

So that's why I suck at Megaman Deathmatch! I'm right handed.

As a right handed person, I don't know how you left handed people cope. Then again, you probably think the same about us right handers.

I'm mainly right handed but I use my left hand for a lot of things... For scratching my right elbow, for example.
Also my left arm appears to be stronger and I can move it faster.
EDIT: My dad is left handed.

Right handed here. I like to practice doing stuff with my left hand from time to time, though.



You know, in case I ever break my right arm or something.

I'm a lefty (the 1 in 5 rule is true if you look at my family they are all right handed but me), although I do use my right hand for some tools. I also find it funny that left handed people are better at art, I can't draw/do art at all.

I'm right handed.

Fun fact, Left-handed people are also expected to live longer than right-handed people.

Am I the only one who is sure this topic already existed?

I'm ambidexterous but I use my right hand most of the time to play.

I'm right handed, but I try to make good use of my left hand so it doesn't get lazy.

Llamas don't have hands

If I did have hands, I'd be more right-handed as I rely on that a frequent amount.

I am right handed. I can't imagine doing most things with my left arm, which is why I consider myself fortunate that my right arm wasn't amputated after an accident I had when I was 11 years old. Since then, tact in my right arm isn't so good, but I can move it and do everything normally. Still, that is one huge scar and it's probably for life. There are more details to it, but they're gritty and probably not suitable for the site.

I have tried to write with my left hand, but it's so difficult. It's scribbles at best. Still, my left arm is the more flexible one.
