Talents from left or right hand?

I am a left hander and instresting that in my Computer Science class the majority of my friends were left handers and the only australian girl was a left hander. I did some art units and I was the only left hander in the class.\n\nSo I do think that there are special talents from what hand you are

besides "left" and "right"???

your left hand.  it can hold your right, but not itself, the left hand.  \n   if i'm wrong, e-mail me answer, please...

the right side of your brain is thought to be involved with creativity whilst the left is thought to be logic based, therefore an artistic person would be said to be right brain dominant and vice versa.  Incidentally the two halves are linked by a channel called the corpus collosum and both sides act to a degree in tandem. Women have been shown to have greater activity in the right side of their brains, proven by MRI scans (magnetic resonance indicator). It has been suggested that from primate times there was a greater inclination toward the right side in women due to evolotionary pressure to nurture and be compassionate, conversely males were more inclined to hunt and those males with greater sense of logic were more succesful. This can be seen to this day as women are far more able to multi task than men are, i know, the bank fired me because i couldnt talk and count out money at the same time. Result= £1400 down in the space of a month. What a bummer

yes, first with the left hand and then the right one:)

left or right?  left, definitely.  right, i may have to ponder that for a while.  unless you're talking toes, then either one can go.

That's not necessarily true. It kind of depends on what side of your body you use most. Right-handed people tend to work the right side of their bodies more than the left side. So the right right side has slightly more muscle than the left therefore it's bigger. I'm right-handed, but I use my left hand for colorguard, rifle team and billiards, so my left forearm and hand are larger than my right. And, then again, humans aren't perfect. God (if you believe in Him) made us this way. No two things are exactly the same.

fork and spoon - right hand

Sounds to me like you have a  mental block. We all have different strenghts and weaknesses. I know I am horrible at math, but I kick butt in astronomy/cosmology and I read very, very fast. Also I can't draw worth a damn but I've won awards for my writing. Also, I am very good with problem solving and logicl problems. By the way I'm right handed.\n\nTo see different things that the left/right brain affect/control check out: \nhttp://www.viewzone.com/bicam.html\n\nhttp://www.funderstanding.com/right_left_brain.cfm\n\nhttp://brain.web-us.com/brain/LRBrain.html this one lets you take a test to see if your left or right side dominant

I'm actually right handed in writing and eating, but left handed in some sports. Pool and billiards, target shooting and I can draw with both hands. Its a good exercise also to practice something you're not used to doing with the "wrong" hand.\n\n(and thanks for your kind answer to my question)

I was once told if you are left handed you use the right side of your brain and if you are right handed you use the left side.  So, I guess it would depend.

Not sure why now.....but years ago when my kids were learning to write   all the specialists said if you think they are tending towards left-handed..........hand them everything in their right hand   pencil, fork, etc.   Seems they used to think left-handed was not a good thing, and it was better to teach them to be righty's.

Hmmmm ... it's difficult to say.  Maybe people who are left handed are smarter since they have to learn to cope in a world made for right handed people.  \n\nWhile there is an unresolved debate within the scientific community on how to operationalize both intelligence and creativity, some studies have demonstrated a small positive correlation between left-handedness and creativity/intelligence.  In his book Right-Hand, Left-Hand, Chris McManus of University College London, argues that the proportion of left-handers is rising and left-handed people as a group have historically produced an above-average quota of high achievers. He says that left-handers' brains are structured differently in a way that widens their range of abilities, and the genes that determine left-handedness also govern development of the language centres of the brain.\n\nI hope this helps.

depends on what type of person you are.\n\nIf you are linear, logical, and you remember things using numbers or logical orders then you use the left side.  \n\nIf you are a very creative person and you remember things using pictures or symbols then you are using the right side of your brain.

I am the opposite of you. I am a left handed but i mostly do things with my right, I've been told that such persons who use both hands for something are balanced, they don't do everything with one hand. :)

I use my left AND right hands. I'm ambidextrous, but most times I'll use my right hand to write and my left hand to draw and paint. I think Leonardo DaVinci did the same thing. It's real cool and really freaks people out when I sketch AND write at the same time, especially when I was at school. ;)

People who are left-handed are more dextrous with their left hand than with their right hand: they will probably also use their left hand for tasks such as personal care, cooking, and so on. Writing is not as good an indicater of handedness as it might seem, because many people who write with their right hand use their left for everything else.\n\n\nCauses of left-handedness\n\nNo one knows for certain why the human population is right-handed-dominant, but a number of theories have been proposed.\n\n\nEvolutionary theories: The warrior and his shield\n\nThis theory attempts to explain left-handedness by the position of a warrior's shield and his heart. Basically, since the heart is on the left side of the body, a warrior holding his shield with his left hand would be better able to protect his heart than if he held it with his right. Thus, a greater mortality of left-handers would explain the prevalence of right-handedness today.\n\n \nThe heart is not that far off center. While it is on the left side of the body, it is still fairly central in location. Protecting it with a shield would only result in a weak selective pressure, and there have not been enough generations since the bronze age. \n\n  \nIt predicts that more men would be right-handed than women. However, data indicates that more males are left-handed than females. \nAnalysis of ancient cave paintings indicate that humanity was right-handed long before the bronze age. \n\nBrain hemisphere division of labour\n\nThis is the most commonly accepted theory of handedness. The premise of this theory is that since both speaking and handiwork require fine motor skills, having one hemisphere of the brain do both would be more efficient than having it divided up. And since in most people, the left side of the brain controls speaking, right-handedness would prevail. It also predicts that left-handed people would have a reversed brain division of labour. Lastly, since other primates do not have a spoken language (at least of the type we have) there would be no stimulus for right-handed preference among them, and that is true.\n\n\nEnvironmental theories\n\nBirth stress \n\nLeft-handed people cringe at this theory, because its basic premise is that left-handedness is due to brain damage during the birth process. Unfortunately, some statistics do back this theory up.\n\nDifficult or stressful births happen far more commonly among babies who grow up to be left-handed or ambidextrous. Birth stress is also associated with a number of birth defects and complications, including cerebral palsy and autism.\n\n Throughout history and throughout the world, the level of medicine and technology to assist with childbirth has improved. In spite of that, the proportion of left-handed people has not decreased. (In a sense, it has increased because more people see left-handedness as the benign trait it is.) \n\nParental pressure\nThis theory explains right-handed dominance by claiming that since the parents who raised us are mostly right-handed, we came to be mostly right-handed and so on.
