Poll: Are you left-handed or right-handed?
Roughly 10% of the population is left-handed, with right-handers at 70-90%, and the rest mixed-handed or, in rare cases, ambidextrous. Some suggest that left-handers are more predominant in creative areas. How does HN compare?
- lifeguard 13y agoTrained ambidextrous, right hand bias.
- wglb 13y agoRight-handed writer, batter, thrower. Left hand driver, by wide margin. My left hand knows things about how to drive a car in straight lines that my right will never know.
- joelima 13y agoLefty here.
- biot 13y agoI use my left hand to write and do other things which require fine motor skills. Everything else is either right-handed or I can use either.
- firloop 13y agoI use a knife and a mouse with my right hand but my left hand for everything else.
- ValentineC 13y agoMostly left-handed here. It's the first time I've heard that most knives are designed for the right hand though. Scissors, yes, but not knives.
- biot 13y agoThis is likely a cultural thing, but traditionally if you are eating with a knife and fork, you hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. That said, some there are some knives which are designed for specific hands, notably: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_cutlery#Japanese_cutlery_design_and_philosophy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_cutlery#Japanese_cutle...
