Re: Are you right or left handed?

As the t-shirt says "Only left-handed people are in their right mind", as apparently motor function is controlled by the opposite side of the brain.
But I'm right handed - nothing very unusual about me!

Re: Are you right or left handed?

Hmmm.... not sure what to put as I'm a right handed writer but do lots of other things left-handed

I always assumed ambidexstrous was being able to write with both hands .....yes or no?

Re: Are you right or left handed?

I think the trick is - fold your arms or 'weave' your fingers together.
The dominant hand/thumb (in the case of 'weaving') is always underneath. Don't ask me why though

Thanks DM

...... in that case I am definitely right handed!

That's a very useful tip to know!

Re: Are you right or left handed?

I am left handed, but I do use my right hand a lot!

The crossing arms and weaving fingers make me right handed though!

Re: Are you right or left handed?

Don't think I did that right ............. when I cross my arms my hands point in different directions and are not able to be weaved in any way except backwards, which hurts!
