Simple, really. Are you dominant in your left hand? Your right? Are you ambidextrous? Let's find out about NSG, and see if it lines up with general statistics on this.

Incidentally, I am right handed, and I am very clumsy with my left hand when I try to use it for most things. (Though for some reason whenever I played baseball I was always better at batting in the left-handed position.)

Left-handed.
It runs in the family.

Only lefty in my immediate family.

/Male - in case gender stats come into this.

Right-handed, although my left hand is the "stronger" one, if you know what I mean.

Right handed, although there are a lot of lefties in my family. I'm not too bad with my left hand unlike most righties.

I'm a right-handed gal with left-handed parents, and yes, you read that correctly.

Left-handed, some left-handed grandparents but my parents and both my sisters are right-handed.

Left Handed most are left handed in my family

Very right handed. I say very, because if you ask me to pick up or catch something in my left hand I will invariably drop it, probably hitting myself in the face in the process. Similarly, if I was to attempt to kick a ball with my left foot, I'd probably fall over. Actually, there's no probably there, this has actually happened several times :p

Surprised nobody has said their pimp hand yet.

I'm very right-handed, although I can use my left hand if I have to. Feeding myself got to be a bit tricky when I broke my right arm last year.

I'm a righty

My dominant hand is the Royal Flush.

I keep the pimp hand strong. That being my right hand.

I'm right-handed, but I do a lot of things with my left hand to increase my lefty dexterity. Being ambidextrous is a tremendous advantage when doing magic.

I'm ambidextrous, with a slight preference for right. My left hand lacks fine motor control, but that could be just a lack of practice.

Éh? Pimp hand?

both my sister and I are left handed, with both my parents being right handed. We're actually in a study because of it (they have found that parents who have their kids later in life are more likely to have left handed kids)

That said, one of my uncles is so ambidextrous that when he writes, he uses the right hand for any curved lines, and the left hand for any straight lines. Mom broke his arm once by calling him down the stairs pretending there was an emergency. His brain, in the rush, told him to move both feet at the same time, sending him down the stairs.

Éh? Pimp hand?

Pulled to the house get her out of the pad
And the bitch said something to make me mad
She said somethin' that I couldn't believe
So I grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy ass weave
She started talkin' shit, would'nt you know?
I reached back like a pimp and slapped the ho
And her father stood up and he started to shout
So I threw a right-cross and knocked his old ass out

Ambidextruos.
I'm sorry, but I chuckled at the "other" option. My sister has really long toes and can play thumb wars with her feet. I wonder if she can write with them...

If you're a true pimp you don't have to say it.

*SMACK*

It's for people who may only have one hand or something like that. :)

What's Your Dominant Hand?

The correct one... :p
I'm right-handed

I am an ambidextrous male. It kind of came kind of natural and then I taught myself how to use my left hand to properly do things.

Ambidextrous, leaning right for gross motor skills and leaning left for fine motor skills.

Right handed.

Write with my right hand, do everything else with my left hand. I can't write worth a crap with my left hand, and my right hand is otherwise useless for any other task.

Interestingly enough, you can be right handed and still be left-hand dominant when using sign language. And vice versa.

Oh this is new.

I'm right handed, always been right handed, but when I broke my right arm as a child, I found that I could almost instantly write left handed. As soon as my arm healed, I lost that ability.

Odd eh?

I use my right hand for everything except when I'm batting. I bat left-handed.

To give a more complete (and more obvious for those that didn't check out my white text) answer, I am right-handed but left-eye dominant.

What's Your Dominant Hand?
The one that holds the Whip.

Seriously tho.
Eating, Writing and mouse control? Right hand.

precision work with tools? left hand.

Go figure.

I was left handed, but my school made me write with my right hand. So now I am about the least dexterous person ever. My hand righting is atrocious.

Fun fact for you lefties: The single-action revolvers that are generally patterned after the Colt Peacemaker design are perfect for you since the loading gate is on the right side of the frame. They're stylish, too :D

I was left handed, but my school made me write with my right hand.

Stupid. I thought we dropped that practice decades ago.

Nope, they started trying to do it to my little brother until my mum told them to fuck off.

Is this weird. :p

I write, throw, etc with my right hand.

I shoot and play snooker/pool with my left.

Left Handed most are left handed in my family

Your sig says you're dyslexic. I understand that there is some correlation between handedness and dyslexia. First it was noted that left-handed children who didn't "choose" handedness until they were nearly five were more likely to be dyslexic: second, that children who had "mixed dominance" - left-handed, right-eyed - were more likely to be dyslexic. Also, there seems to be some correlation between your position in the family and handedness, especially if the children are close in age.

My son, who is left handed - but bats right - fits that profile.

Does any of this fit you?

Left for writing and scissors, right for pretty much everything else.

I'm left footed though which works really well for martial arts as I fight mainly right-handed and have a very strong left foot kick to rely on.

Left-handed. I used to think I was ambidextrous, though.

Every part of me is dominant *nods*

My dominant hand is the Royal Flush.

full house for me and im right handed left footed...weird isnt it??

Officially Left-Handed. However, I do quite a lot of things with my right hand (like cutting). So maybe I should get a test on this.

Left-handedness runs a bit on mothers side of the family though, I've got 2 cousins who got it as well.

Every part of me is dominant *nods*

Of course it is, princess.

Just sleep....just sleep.

My dominant hand is a Royal Flush....duh.


We were talking poker right?

I'm right handed, but I would like to bring up my Dad who is an exceptionally interesting case:

He is right handed, yet he eats with his left hand. He's not quite ambidextrous, as in he can't write with his left, but other functions he can't. Its peculiar. *shrug*

Right-handed, although my left hand is the "stronger" one, if you know what I mean.

Nope!

Right.

*Insert masturbation joke*

royal flush.

although that sense organ thingie on the top of my head ...

Exactly the same.

Btw: my fiancee is left-handed too. Her brother is left-handed. Their other two sisters are right-handed, just like all of their other relatives.

You forgot the poll option "ambisinistrous".

And yep, that's me. :D

Stupid. I thought we dropped that practice decades ago.

Nope. I used to write the first few letters of a word with my left, and then switch to my right for the last ones. They made me stop and write with my right.

It's the same with dyspraxic children, and those with DCD.

Right handed for the vaste majority of things - especially fine motor control, but ambidextrous and even left handed with some things (for example I wear my watch on my right hand).

I'm mostly right handed, but I do lots of things with my left hand (including write like a seven year old). I sort of tend to use whichever hand is most convenient (except for writing, where I use the hand that is most practiced) and closest for most tasks (i.e. opening doors, eating, holding drinks, catching, throwing).

I was unsure, so I forced my hands to fight each other.

I am now in pain, and no closer to the answer.

I think i am "no-handed". Because try as I might I have awful handwriting on both hands. My right hand is marginially better though.

Right handed. For the easiest or most adept job, I use my right hand.

However, there isn't anything my right hand can do which my left cannot. I have been doing a lot of painting (in the sense "painting and decorating") recently, and despite having to concentrate a bit harder, there are times when it is preferable to use the left hand.

My left hand is also my first hand for autonomic actions, like lifting a cup of tea of holding a cigarette. I guess that's from practice, having to do it because the right hand is doing something more deliberate.

I think of my left hand as "her." My right hand is "him." Is that wrong?

Not really, but if you use the wrong hand to masturbate, it's gay.

Muscles working against muscles. The Charles Atlas method.

Quite brilliant really. Send me money, and I will send you no exercise equipment. I will send you no wonder drugs, not even a guest certificate for a gym. No, I will send you instructions in how to arm-wrestle with yourself.

So if I use both, it's bisexual?

Kicks sand in your face :p

I don't care. I have my International Passport to Smoking Pleasure.

*lights up*

So gentleman I have a question, I came up with this at the bar last night (yes I was thinking of NSG at the bar).

When urinating, do you use your dominant hand?

I always tend to use the left.

The right hand being more convenient for opening a zipper (fly) I guess I use my right to point the hose. It's there or thereabouts already.

If that is even necessary. It's not like the urinal is a small target ... anywhere within 180° gets the piss done. And if you have your beer with you (as you should) then you'll need your right hand for that.

I'm right-handed.

absolute win.

Nope. I used to write the first few letters of a word with my left, and then switch to my right for the last ones. They made me stop and write with my right.
Is your writing shyte too?
It's the same with dyspraxic children, and those with DCD.

:mad: Fucking school :mad:
