    Right-handed. LSE.

    I know three left-handed people. IEI, ILI, & LSE.

    It's not type-related.

    Why would that suck? I can't write well when a paper is near perfectly vertical or whatever, it has to be diagonal for me. I'm right-handed. I know an LIE that is left-handed. I've definitely known plenty of other left-handed people but it's not something I remember for some reason. Same thing with tattoos, I always forget people have tattoos then see them one day and am like "hey, nice tattoo, when did you get it?" and they're like something to the effect of "five years ago, and I've showed it to you before."

    I don't really have any reason in particular; I guess I was just thinking about it because someone made a comment to me the other day because I had my paper like that. They were like wow you are an extreme lefty aren't you. I thought it was funny.

    No! I know some guys who play football with their left (right) foot, but they write with their right (left) hand and viceversa.

    Ronald De Boer is lefty (hand) and righty (foot) and his twin brother Frank, the other way round...or something like that

    I was born left handed. I'm an ESI-Fi. Left handedness is quite common in EIE and ESI-Se, SLE, ILE-Ti, and in artists, singers, actors, actresses, and scientists. It is type-related.

    Tim Kaine and Obama are two other left handed ESI-Fi, but I don't know for 100% sure if Tim Kaine was actually born left handed; the ethical subtype isn't anywhere near as likely to be left handed as the sensory subtype (just like LSI-Ti aren't anywhere near as likely to be lefties as LSI-Se are, although in my experience left handedness isn't common among either subtype).

    Left-handed. ESI.

    I've read that left-handedness might give one an advantage in combat, and that's why it was an evolutionary advantage in some cases? Ethnic groups that had to deal with a lot of violence apparently have higher degrees of left-handedness. I'll have to find that source again.

    There is correlation towards pretty much anything weird and left handedness. Weird that I'm only mixed handed. I found it out when someone gave me hockey goalie stick and I had to use it on different side than normal stick.

    A lot of Presidents are left-handed too I think? I think it makes you kind of weirdly diplomatic and good at emotional manipulation. I've also been told that I'm presentational. The egoic state of being a leftie also seems to be ironically good at putting everybody into a more egoless state- so I think it can at times have an almost mystical quality with how it can "spiritually" or emotionally heal others. And I don't mean to project too much IEI-ness to being left-handed either as there are variations. But I have seen this kinda thing in all lefties, regardless of type.

    I asked a former bf once why he liked me. He thought about it a minute and said 'it's like you have no ego.' I don't think this lack of ego makes me better than other people or anything lol but I think it's more of a logical/mechanical thing- that I'm probably not explaining the best cuz I'm no T type.

    What I think right-handers are better at, is getting in the natural tempo of things- especially with most grounded day to day tasks. But ST vs NF has a lot to play a part in this as well, of course. It is deliciously complicated. It's like right-handers are more naturally in-tuned with the tapestry & tempo of life or something, and a bit less about emotional manipulation and politics.

    Left-handers probably are more intelligent, especially In a 'raw' way but there are many ways to be smart.

    Right-handers hear the notes, left-handers hear the melody.

    Right-handers are digital, left-handers are analog.

    I’m left-handed, and I’ve told people that when I first walk into a room full of people, it seems to me that I can see a sort of drifting fog overlaying everything, and in that fog are dark shapes, drifting at different levels, where each level represents a changing power dynamic between the people.

    The left hand represents everything that is variable, uncertain, unclear, unknown. It is the realm of the dark, mysterious, scary forces of the unconscious, where ghosts and demons reign.

    The right hand represents everything that is clear, open, and decided. Yes, no. Something, or nothing. One or zero. Everything that is clearly and cleanly resolved.

    Research has shown that all animals have a hand- or paw- or fin- or leg- preference, but all of them are split evenly between being left-or right-handed. Only three species so far discovered show a preference for one side or the other. One is a fish, one is homo sapiens, and I forget the third. Possibly a species of spider.

    The real question should be, why are humans predominantly right-handed?

    It turns out that language is very digital. There is a correct way to interpret words, and an incorrect way. And by “language”, I include foreign languages and machine languages. The machinery that supports the use of language resides in the left side of the brain, which controls the right side of the body.

    It has been suggested that the ability to speak languages, and to process and understand them, confers such an evolutionary advantage to the user that people with a dominant left brain (right-handers) are surviving, and are being selected for, at higher rates than left-handers. It has also been suggested that being only able to be right-handed is the result of a genetic mutation that has moved through half of the human population, leaving 50% of people only being able to be born right-handed, while the other 50% are still able, like every other species on earth, to be equally likely to be born either left- or right-handed.

    This would mean that about 25% of humans would be left-handed, but left-handers seem to be fewer than this. One explanation is that being left-handed is actively discouraged, beginning with the way children are taught to write. Which, of course, has everything to do with language.

    In addition, the tools we use are highly biased towards right-handers. In ways that only left-handers know, being left-handed is dangerous. And indeed, left-handers have higher accident and fatality rates than right-handers.

    Well, of course we do. Drill bits spiral the wrong way. Can-opener handles are on the wrong side. And doorknobs and the way doors open are ON THE WRONG DAMNED SIDE OF MY BODY.

    I had ink on my hand EVERY GODDAM DAY at school. And the scissors don’t work. And the tape measure, yes, WTF it’s upside down. And I always took the leftmost seat at a table to avoid bumping elbows. All true.

    Hand drills, mechanical calipers, machine tool controls, and everything else in a machine shop is set up for right-handers, so to just get on with the job, you start using your non-dominant hand. The weaker, less controllable one. And then the accidents start.

    Left-handed but taught to write with right hand. As a result, I prefer to type.
