This is an extremely poorly designed experiment that shows nothing relating to handedness.

The thumb on top depends strictly on how you lace your fingers...regardless of whether you are right-handed or left-handed, blue-eyed or whether you had corn flakes for breakfast.

Lace your fingers with the left little finger in the bottom position. Now your right thumb is on top.

Lace your fingers with the right little finger in the bottom position. Now your left thumb is on top.

This survey may measure gullibility but it certainly does not measure traits related to handedness. Either the poster is pulling our chain , the exercise is measuring gullibility or the science education in the education racket is even stupider that I think it is.

"This is an extremely poorly designed experiment...blah blah blah"

What are you talking about? The experiment is simply to find out what proportion of what handed people clasp their hands which way. Your little "insight" about how a certain thumb gets on top was brilliant...and obvious to my infant daughter. It's the point of the experiment, hich is not poorly designed; it is merely straightforward and simple.

I was hoping to find out if maybe I was weird or my Winston was going to fall off.
