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!
Right handed, left thumb on top. Squish em together a bunch of times and they make a funny noise...JFK
righthanded, left thumb on top.
I've already told TMinus4 that I'm right-handed with my left thumb on top, but when you mentioned that you (a right thumber) are the one who thinks up the weird stuff, I couldn't help but mention that I, too, can do a weird thing:
I can write both upside-down AND backwards (at the same time). I can print and write in cursive, especially my name. I can also write my name so that it LOOKS like it's right-side up, but I write it from an upside-down position. Only someone very familiar with my handwriting is able to tell the difference.
Freaks my kids out when I sign their homework without turning the page around to do it. "How can you DO that, Mom??!!"
I tell them I have no idea why I can do it, or how...but I'd love to know the answer.
Regards,
PS: I can wiggle my ears, too....anybody doing a science project on that?
Right-handed, right thumb on top.
I am right-handed; but the left thumb is on top.
Right handed, left thumb on top.
Right thumb on top, and I'm right-handed in general (I do a lot of things left-handed, though).
Right Handed, Right Thumb on top
Right Handed --left thumb on top.
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.
Right handed, right thumb on top
Ambidextrous. Left thumb on top.
Right handed, right thumb on top
Right on top. Left handed (and I have the scars to prove it!)
Left thumb on top, and I am right handed... BTW some of the best science happens when unexpected things happen, this should teach her not to be afraid of that..
(Am I gay?)"
Yes, of course........but ambiguously so.
Right handed - Left Thumb on Top
Just checked with my wife (right handed) and she has left thumb on top also.
