Are you primarily right or left sided? I am curious if one or more of the types have a higher probability of left-sidedness. There are too many types and sides to make the poll reasonable so I put in the four temperments and you can post the details in a reply. Which side do you prefer when using your hands, feet, ears and eyes?

Personality Type - ?

Hands - Example: Which hand do you write with?
Feet - Example: Which foot do you kick with?
Ears - Example: Which ear do you put the phone up to, or on a wall if you wanted to hear the other side?
Eyes - Example: Which eye do you use to look through a telescope?

Misc. - Additional comments such as ambidexterity.

Mine:

Personality Type - INTP

Hands - Left
Feet - Left
Ears - Left
Eyes - Left

Misc. - I prefer left when throwing a ball but can play catch right if I have to and can use a computer mouse with either hand.

Hands - right
Feet - right I think
Ears - whichever one is closest to the wall at the time :cheese:
Eyes - I want to say right, but I have no idea.

Misc. - I can do the splits on my left side, but not always my right, so I am more flexible on my left side. Don't know if that really relates to the subject, though.

Yep, I'm a righty.

Hands - Right
Feet - Left
Ears - Well sometimes I tilt my head right ever so slightly when watching TV. And if I were to put my ear against the wall I'd use the Left one too. This might be more neck/posture related but yeah....Left
Eyes - Left I'd say. But I'd use the Right one to look through a telescope.

Feet - Example: Which foot do you kick with? Right.
Ears - Example: Which ear do you put the phone up to, or on a wall if you wanted to hear the other side? I hold the phone with my right hand, so therefore I use my right ear, but if my hand is not required, I almost always use my left ear.
Eyes - Example: Which eye do you use to look through a telescope? No preference, but right seems most "natural" to me.

Misc. - My left hand has a really rough time playing melody on the piano, but can do chords, octaves, and tenths easily. My right hand is the opposite --- melody is easy, can do fancy stuff, but can't do straight up octaves or "bassy" deals with ease.

No complete lefties other than me yet, haven't met one in real life either. :(

Damnit, I should have posted this in the MBTI sub-forum.

Hands - Left: I use scissors with my RH, eat with RH sometimes.
Feet - X: I kick with my left foot. I play a rh drum kit though I'm a lefty. I lead with the right side, if you get my meaning.
Ears - I always put the phone up to my left ear.
Eyes - I can sight a gun with either eye, but slight left dominance.



I guess I'm what's called 'mixed dominant', but I'm a proud leftist

I'm extremely left-side dominant. Sucks for baseball or any game where I need to catch a ball with one hand and throw with the other. I catch and throw best with my left. I write with my left hand. I lean on my left side when standing. On my glasses, my right eye has the stronger prescription. I wear a headset for my job -- over my left ear.

Hands - Example: Which hand do you write with? Right
Feet - Example: Which foot do you kick with? I've trained myself to do both effectively, but Right is more powerful
Ears - Example: Which ear do you put the phone up to, or on a wall if you wanted to hear the other side? I use either, but usually Left
Eyes - Example: Which eye do you use to look through a telescope? I use either, but usually Left

I'm naturally more adept with the right side of my body, though I wish I were ambidextrous since I have this intense obsession with symmetry.
