I'm just curious as to how many NF's out there are left handed. Wondering if there's any correlation between personality type and handedness.
I'm left handed and I know 3 other INFJ's who are as well, along with an INFP I know.

I'm a righty, but a I know an INFJ lefty who changes the mouse settings around and occasionally forgets to change them back on the main computer at work.

Bizarre all the left-handers; seems kind of a ridiculous correlation to make, although I'm not educated on right/left hand theory (ha!) so wouldn't know what any real-world, documented correlations might be. Would be more interesting to see if the same stats were revealed in the SP, SJ, and NT forums, or maybe amongst Enneagrams. (I'll give a left-hand vote for my INTP brother and INTJ friend though! ;))

I'm right-handed.

ENTJ, sort of ambidextrous.
It's more that I do things with different hands depending on how I was taught or felt like doing it.
Some things I can do with both hands, or gain different benefits from switching.
Usually I have a tendency to do things left-handed if nobody teaches me how to do something.
I write my awful little scribbles with my right hand, though. Mostly because I was taught to use my right hand, I presume.

Left-handed, but I can only do certain things with my right only.

I do have an ENTJ friend that is left-handed, FWIW.

I'm right-handed, but my INFP aunt is left-handed, and so is one ENFP friend. I doubt this has anything to do with type, though.

Hm Lefty. ENFJ
One of my favorite moments was going to an art course for a week and being surrounded by left-handed people. It's interesting what pertains and would be good to get a better statistic on this.

I'm right handed but do left-handed cartwheels, and when I do that exercise where you fold your hands my left thumb always comes out on top ... one of my high school science teachers said that was a sign of handedness. Hmmm...ENFP.
