I write with my left hand, throw with my left hand, but bat with my right hand.  I play guitar right handed, but eat with my left hand.  Now that I think about it, I wipe my ass with my right hand.  (What an intimate story to share on a recording forum!).

I write with my right hand, but use my left for the mouse......it drives people nuts, so that is good.  
If leftys have been viewed badly in history, Macca should put an end to that!

I would expect lefthanders here to be 3% of the population as they are in the general population.



see, i would think lefthanders here to be greater than the general population.  I've always associated lefthandedness and creative personality.

me....i write left handed, throw left, play guitars/drums right handed, throw darts right handed, shoot basketball left, play hockey/golf/putt-putt right..jerk it right....hmmm


Yes, this is very intestingk...33% left right now....  At first I thought what a silly poll,... but truly enlightening from the psychological perspective... right brain left brain thing.... (lefty's using the right side of their brain which is the "creative" side...)

hmmm....  Lefties running much higher than the national average.

Maybe this poll shows that there are more left handed people in this field.  

Which would make sense because of the traditional association of left handedness with "creativity".    (this could be due to some kind of genetic linkage, brain half dominance or simply that the creative types are more likely to resist being converted to right handedness.)

But maybe all this poll shows is that left handers are more likely to vote in a poll about handedness.  

Which would make sense since they often see themselves as an 'oppressed' minority and would want to make a statement by voting in a poll.   Maybe the righties, comfortable in their dominance, are skipping the poll.

That's an interesting supposition.... There is a lot of data which has been generated by studies of hand dominance and creativity which indicate a much higher number of lefties among creative types, but I wonder if I would have started this poll if I was a righty - however - if I was I might be intimidated to know how many lefties were lurking here....

I'm a lefty although I fake playing guitar like a right handed and wipe my ass like Brandon. The other unmentionable things I can do with both hands. Individually or simultaneously.

I am, of course, speaking of playing table tennis.


But hey, howcome this poll in a forum called WHATEVER WORKS...

Cheers,

I would guess the poll is here because right handed or left handed, it is whatever works!
