Left, Right or Mixed handed? A possibly surprising

When I was about 12 I hurt my right hand and wrote with my left for a week or two. When I was teaching if my hand got tired when writing on the blackboard I’d switch to the other one. I’ve also taught calligraphy to adults and if they moaned that they couldn’t do it with their left hands then I’d switch hands to show them how. It’s slower with my left but possible and neat. LOL That used to startle them! I also open jars with my left hand and find myself using either for various tasks. I was browsing last night and found an interesting site with a test on it. http://www.undenial(.)com/left/ remove brackets. The link to the site which provided the questions led to interesting things. I don’t think I can call myself ambidextrous as I’m not equally good with each hand but I think I must be mixed handed. I found I am 44% left and 56% right handed. I thought some of you might find this interesting too. Perhaps you aren’t completely what you thought. Sue |

I’ve usually considered myself right handed but several of my close family are lefties. I was chatting to my husband about handedness and I realise I’m not as much of a righty as I thought. |
