Hi asked in Arts & HumanitiesPerforming Arts · 9 years ago

How can you tell if you're lefty or righty?

I have no idea if I am lefty or right.

I write, text, bat, and use the mouse with my right hand but I throw, and kick lefty. My left arm and leg are also much stronger than my right arm and leg.

    When you pull out a splinter with tweezers which hand do you use? If you get something in your eye which hand do you use to get it out with? You will use the hand you trust most not to poke your eye out. Think about it.

    That will tell you if you are a lefty or a righty.

    If you really don't know if you are right or left handed I suggest you do a little research rather than waste time posting questions here. If you don't know, no one here is going to! Frankly, I am horrified that anyoe would post a question like ths.

    Unless somebody changed you as they did in the 18002 - the hand you write with is considered your dominant hand. Simple as that.

    Source(s): I know handedness.

    First off, I find it horrifying that you use which hand you text with to determine what your dominant hand is.

    You're definitely right handed though.

    Look at your thumbs. The base of the thumbnail on the dominant hand is wider.
