| Anyone else out there? Are we rare? What does this mean? I thought being left-handed meant my left hemisphere was retarded. |

I don't think what handed you are has got anything to do with what part of the brain your using. I guess I should research into it first.
Also same with breathing out of which nostril, they say it cycles every 90mins or so. Which I also have not research to see if they tested it.
Maybe it might be a myth. Due to not having left handed stuff, etc. The first one.
Edit:- I should stick I am Right-Handed.

Left-handed INFJ.
Left-handers I've known have tended to be more lateral in their thinking...but it's a small sample group 
That nostril cycling thing is interesting...

I'm pretty good with vocabulary too. I'm a math guy but I am better with memorizing vocabulary words than numbers. Interesting. But I've forgotten a lot of words due to now being obsessed with math. |

I am right handed I think, I use both my hand for everything except for writing, for which I use my right hand.
I once read that the Theory of Aspergers being the result of Neanderthal / Cro-magnon hybridisation stated that left handedness, flatfeet and right brain hemisphere-like thinking process would all be proof of it since Neanderthals were all left handed, had flat feet and the archaeological findings of their way of life pointed to a what by Homo Sapiens Sapiens standards would be a right brain hemisphere-like thinking. |

| BTW - I am flat footed, like I said I think I am right handed (as opposed to ambidextrous) and my thinking process is roughly 60% right hemisphere / 40% left hemisphere, tests always place me as right hemisphere predominant. |

hmm:-
| Quote: | | The cycle continues. We continue a 90-minute cycle throughout our sleep period. Some researchers have speculated that a similar 90-minute cycle persists during wakefulness, with corresponding variations in brain activity and attentiveness; during the part of this wakeful cycle which corresponds to REM, we are in a less-attentive, daydreamy mood, as the brain seems to go off-line to process our new data. These two types of functioning (correlating to non-REM and REM) are similar to the analytic operations of the brain's left hemisphere and the creative reverie of the right hemisphere. |

Guess I will look into some research papers later.

I'm a right-handed Aspie. Can't use my left hand for hardly anything.

I'm ambidextrous for a lot of things except writing. I use the right side of my body for a lot of things; I can kick a soccer ball greatly with my right foot. Objects thrown with my right arm have more energy. |

| Ambidextrous (what hand I use depends on how old I was when I learned to do it - ie: whether I was taught by a right handed person, or allowed to choose what hand I would use, if the equipment allows, though it's more a case of being equally *clumsy* with both) rather flat footed INTJ Aspie here. |

I'm left-handed, INTJ and have aspergers. There's not a lot of differences between left and right handers, I think left handers are slightly less likely to have lateralization for certain cognitive functions (so if we have a stroke it's possible that we won't be as impaired as if we were right-handed). The differences are slight though, off the top of my head I think for verbal abilities 95% of right handers have left-hemisphere specialisation compared to 70% of left-handers. I know I can't participate in any of my psychology departments fMRI experiments because of left-handedness so there must be some differences.

This is me, not literally the guy in question, but that is the description of me. Take away the doctor part, I want to be marine biologist but the left handed INTP good vocab is me |
