I noticed that a larger percentage (compared to the whole population of humans) of left-handed people are in fields such as pharmacy. What is the population like in this forum? I?m one. 🙂
 
Hi!
Scientist,

I am right handed.
 
I'm a lefty. Last Saturday, I worked with a pharmacist who exclaimed "Could I just work with ONE right-handed intern for once!?". :meanie:
 
Right handed.
 
right-handed here
 
We could make this a poll like the east coast/west coast one 🙂

When I first reported to work at a pharmacy and they noticed that I was left-handed they said there were too many lefties already.

Taps being played for the recent demise of the poll. +pity+
 
Right handed! 😀
 
I'm a righty. But I've noticed a lot of lefties in the science field period!

i'm a lefty too!!
 
I'm also left-handed. Don't left handed people think more with a different part of the brain then right-handed people.
 
RAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR I'm ambidextrous.
 
I'M A LEFTY! 😎
 
I think I'm primarily right handed, but I do some things left handed. I started out writing left handed, but they switched me to my right hand in school. My dad taught me how to play sports and since he was right handed, I learned to bat right handed and throw right handed. My brother is right handed and I wanted to play his guitar, so I learned that right-handed. But, I bought a drum kit once and couldn't play it until I set it up left handed. So, I guess I'm not sure. I can't tell right from left anyway.
 
Another lefty in the house! 👍
 
yup..lefty here too!! 😉
 
Ambi...favor the left hand for fine detail and the right for more gross motor coordination like throwing, chopping, pounding, etc. Weird.
 
I'm left-handed.
It's unusual that there's so many of us, in a way, because historically usually left-handers are more adept at music ability and spacial reasoning. Half of all left handers are NOT dominant in side of brain that contains Broca's area, which is for language and speaking. So some lefties have more trouble with articulation than right-handers. Just something my physiology teacher told us...

I'm actually ambi too, I guess. In Kinder, they tried to take the left-handedness out of me, and were successful in most areas except writing. What can you do when there's only right-handed scissors available? 😡 They couldn't completely convert me. If I broke my left arm it wouldn't be such a big deal; I can write with my right too, just a lot slower and a little akward. If I broke my right arm, on the other hand, I would have to re-learn how to flip people off with my left hand! :laugh:
 
leftie from CA!! (functionally ambi though... as a kid, my weird asian parents made me do everything with my right hand)

try writing w/ your opposite hand when you're bored in class... time sure flies by! haha 😀 (oh, but pay attention in class too!)
 
Yeah it's weird, I'm a lefty but I play hockey right, tennis left, write left ( i can marginally write with my right hand just slow) swing a bat right handed, etc.

Would this qualify me as ambidexterous?
 
Right handed but kinda ambidextrous because I naturally favor the left side for a lot of things too, I can even write fairly well with my left hand, although slower.
 
Write with my right, draw with my left
 
im a lefty but can write like a 4 yr old kid w/ my right hand. 😀
 
Technically Im lefthanded, but because of the backward, third-world hellhole (Im kidding, it wasnt a hellhole :meanie: )where i was born, lefthanded writing was seen as improper. So I was forced to become a Rightie by my no-good, SOB kindergarten teacher( I know its sooo sad but its sooo true +pity+ ). Then after breaking my left arm playing soccer 3x and getting no PTherapy (remember: backward, third world) I m now exclusively righthanded.

I'm a righty but I have a puppy named Lefty. 😀

Isn't she cute?!
