Lightbulb Left vs Right Handed?

Right Handers are normally more left-brained while left-handers are more right-brained. Of course there are some right handers who are more right brained and vise versa.

If you read about right brained people you will notice that many of these traits are "symptoms" of ADD.

I am ambidexterous. I prefer to write with my left hand but do everything else (cut paper, use tools, catch, throw, eat, brush my teeth etc) with my right hand. I can write with my right hand too but left feels more comfortable for me.

Oh that's too funny! I'm a,bodexterous too. I do everything but write left handed! I can pitch a ball with either hand as well as bat either handed. I switch hands when ever one gets tired

You know what they say about us lefties - We're the only ones in our right minds

lol Kelly

I'm a hard-core right-handed person, and most think I'm out somewhere in left field. Go figure.

Right-handed all the way.

Except when I was a gymnast I had to learn to leap with my left leg due to an injury on my right. From then on I could always do it better leftie than rightie.

I put down ambidextrous, although I write right-handed. I left-hand the mouse, to balance the load, and had no problems switching in the first place. I can write left-handed, but it looks like a 2d grader wrote it (not that my right handwriting is legible, either....).

Me too, Ken. Always wanted to be completely lefty, just to be different.

Can't use a knife unless its with my left hand. Can paint lefty, cut lefty with lefty scissors....

When bored, I still practice writing with my left hand. That's enough to entertain me for quite some time!

Well -- it gets weirder than that....

I have long toes and when a little boy, I used to sneak my feet out of my shoes and reach under the dining table to pinch my little sister's legs (typical sib rivalry).

BTW, if anyone is starting to feel sorry for her, she was half again as big as me even though three years younger -- she liked to sit on me.....

Anyway, she always called me "quadridextrous" after that.

Hmmm... does that mean I have four brain lobes instead of the usual two? I've just GOT to get me down to Amen's clinic and freak out the image techs....

I still sometimes pick things up with my toes off the floor when I don't feel like bending over -- easy things like clothes and pencils....

Gee -- I wonder if there is a forum for human quadrupeds.....
