Take our right/left handedness test to see which is your dominant hand. You might be surprised!
Your dominant hand is believed to say a lot about you and your personality. Our brains are contra lateral, meaning that each side of the body is controlled by the opposing side of the brain. Those who are right handed are believed to have better language abilities, are more logical and detail oriented, and are less emotional. Left handed people are believed to be more creative and artistic, and are also thought to be better at grasping subjects like maths, as well as having an advantage in certain sports, such as tennis, boxing, and baseball.
It is thought that our natural ‘handedness’ originates even before birth, but is also subject to the nature or nurture debate; around 10-14% of us are left handed, but it is believed that this should be a lot higher, at around 38%. Left handedness has been seen as a negative thing over the years, and in many cultures it is actively discouraged and feared, with many left handed children being made to use their right hand growing up.
Although you may favour one hand when writing, this does not necessarily mean that it is your dominant hand, and you could have grown up believing that one hand was more dominant when in fact, it was the other one. Below is a quick, fun test to see which your more dominant hand is. Have a go, and make a note of your score; you might be surprised by what you find!
Both the animal and the arrow in the circle should logically face your dominant side, and the hand you strike, scratch, and count with, should be your dominant hand. Your head should also automatically go towards your dominant shoulder.
Which side did you use the most? Many people will be surprised by the fact that they subconsciously use their supposed dominant hand less than they thought! Are you more left or right handed?
