The left-handed topic

What about mental abilitys I have heard about left handed being able reach a smarter level of intelectual capacity that right handed people is this true?

I figured that might be true; the right brain controls the left hand and vice versa, so ambidextrous people might, in theory, be smarter than left- and right-handed people.

I was born right-handed. I’m trying to become ambidextrous, and my writing has improved immensely with my left hand after just a week’s practice.

I’ve also been training not only to “unlock both parts of the brain”, but I also find it faster to be able to write with both hands at times. It’s not as neat, but it’s a good way to practice and a good alternative to shorthand. :wink:

I might try writing with both hands. My writting is allready the worst everyone , even me , has a hard time reading it. I dont think it could acctually get worse.

i’m right handed i cant do anything with my left hand :open_mouth:

I’m a lefty too! :cool: :cool:

I write like that as well :grin:

:lol:

Although Sonia made it sounded funny, i still found Bruno’s “essay” interesting. Bruno! You must have been amazed when you switched and played beautifully! I wish i could have seen your face when you did that!

Sadly, i suck so bad when it comes to using my right hand and/or leg. I cannot do anything with my right leg in football (soccer) except tricks involving me putting my leg around the ball as though i were to go to the left or right. I can do kick-ups in football too. I just realised…i can’t even pass the ball with my right foot :eek:

*wissam suddenly feels like playing football :cool_laugh:

A little bit of fun for everyone. Get a piece of plain paper and two pens.

Write your name with your main hand, then write your name with your weak hand. Naturally your main hand will be clearer.

Now write your name with both hands at the same time, focusing on your main hand not your weak hand. Both should look pretty much the same :eek:

What great timing for this topic to be revived! :cool_laugh: Just last night I had a dream in which I was ambidextrous. For whatever reason I had decided to practice writing with my right hand, and I was surprised at how well I was writing; it was nearly as good as the writing done with my left hand, with a few minor imperfections. Now if only it were like that in real life. :tongue:

/me wonders if that extra bit of dream practice has improved the writing of her right hand in real life.

There’s only one way to find out. :grin:

i’m not exactly sure what handed i am, i mean i write with my right hand but my handwriting SUCKS, and for the rest i can use both hands for a lot of sports, and as crazy stick figure said, for power i often use my left hand and for accuracy i use my right hand, also, i’m gonna try and see which hand writes better(even though i now find writing with left extremely awkward:S)

Then you’re most likely righty, Tycho, and the fact that you use your left for force seems to make that even more plausible :yes: But I don’t know what would happen if you tried to change or expand your handedness;

Hehe about handwriting, with my right arm others have hard to read it (sometimes myself). With my left one others can barely read it (sometimes even i cant read it). :wink:

Im trying to use both hands to write by the pc atm, not easy :confused:

I got bored in school today, so I switched hands writing…
My left is horrible! I got it to the point that its atleast comfortable (sorta) to hold the pen in my left hand.

I’m going to keep working on it until I become ambidexterous. :yes:

I would love to do that…
If only I had enough time :sigh:

Yes, keep at it Ysim. I’ve been doing the same fairly frequently since summer, and I’ve seen a lot of improvement, both in quality of the handwriting and in speed. Still not good enough to take exams with, but a few more months’ practice and it’ll definitely be as good as the right hand.

writing with left seems to me verry much like writing backwards, like i’m trying to write mirrored with right, only a bit harder:p
