My seventh grader is doing a science fair project involving "handedness". She needs a larger sample for her data. If you would like to help, please do the following: clasp your hands together with your fingers intertwined. Report which thumb is on top and if you are right or left handed. Thanks for your help! Standing outside the grocery store didn't work, even with tootsie rolls as a thank you. People were too afraid we were selling something!
There is always something interesting on FR!
Right handed. Right thumb on top.
As I said, I'm ambidextrous. However I tend to favor my Right Hand when writing much of the time.
(That probably goes back to my "School Days" in the 1940's-50's when the teachers seemed to "hate" lefties.)
I also write with my Left Hand at times.
So I would have to say Right Hand for the purpose of your experiment.
It might be of interest, I was a "switch hitter" playing baseball but I did always like batting lefty more. Certain things I do better left handed and other things I do better right handed.
Right handed,left thumb on top.
Just an question: Do the folks whose handedness matches the top thumb (i.e. Right Hand - Right Thumb), are all your fingers and thumbs intertwined or is one thumb next to its corresponding index finger?
Right-handed, right thumb on top.
I give this entire thread two thumbs up!
Left thumb on top, right-handed
Right handed. Right thumb on top.
Right handed, left thumb on top.
Amazing, I never really thought about it. Good luck!
No one ever said that...it was just a reminder that this is a child's thread, and to keep that in mind.
Left thumb on top...right handed.
I'm left handed, and my left thumb was on top.
It was never indicated that the parent who instigated this thread would allow their child access to FR unsupervised.
I resent the 'get a room' comment from you, when I was just having a lark with a friend.
Play net nanny with someone else.
Hope you get enough of a sample......
right thumb on top, right-handed.
yep.
That is just weird.
lol. :)
right handed, right thumb, and so was my son.
Left thumb on top, right handed.
I wonder why so many right-handers have their left thumb on top?
I seem to be one of the few that is both right-handed and right thumb on top.
I tried having my left thumb on top and that just feels really freaky.
