we often do things using one hand, right hand or left hand.
some people say left-handed people are gifted or talented in some special fields, they are more clever than the right-handed people. do you think so? do you think there are specific human characteritics that could be associated with right handed or left handed people?
i'm right-handed, i see no talent in myself. lol

I am right handed. but can some what use my left hand but not too well for some things. I am a very creative person and many beautiful crafts come from these hands.

I am right handed and have always been right handed. I'm not sure if there are any special features or talents I have got because of being right handed. On the other hand I dont think anyone is at a disadvantage because they are right or left-handed.

I am left-handed and while I do think I have some talents, I don't know if I have any more or less than my right handed brother for example.
When I was a little kid, my grandmother told my mother to punish me if I used my left hand, that I should only use my right. It wasn't a cultural thing though, it was one of those old wives tales that make no sense!!
I've read somewhere [wish I could remember where!] that if you do that to kids that it will mess with their minds so I am very glad my mother did not listen to grandma! My mind is messed up enough without THAT added in! LOL
Anyway, I am very left hand dominant but I use my right hand for my mouse and for drawing pictures using my mouse and MS Paint on the computer. But for drawing with actual paper and pencil, I use my left hand only.

Hi, horserule? you say you have some talents, when you just mentioned that one of them is drawing right? what are the other talents? by the way, i can see that you are a horse addict, right? i can see horse in your name, in your MS painting, i wonder were you born in a barn , like jesus christ did, lol?

I am right handed thank goodness as I fell two years ago
and smashed my left shoulder, had to have surgery with a
shoulder joint replacement of steel and plastic and a lot of
physical therapy but still do not have much use of my left
arm. I used to be pretty much ambidexterous but alas no more, steel and plastic are not as good as your own shoulder joint
and that is for sure.

I've never heard that left-handers are more talented than right-handers but they do say that left-handers tend to be quite creative. I'm a 'lefty' and I enjoy doing creative things like dance, write etc.

I am a left-handed person xoyyox... Yes, you're right, a lot of people I know always told me I'm this kind talented. I don't agree with them,I think it is a matter of what a certain person wants to do... What is his or her passion. I think what I got being a left-handed person is only a talent in drawing... Yeah, all about art... nothing more about it... =)
You must be proud that you're right handed, they say that people who are right handed are good in mathematics and stuffs... they are good decision makers too...

lol, if they are right and all the right-handed people are good at maths and good decision makers, we are definitely living a good life, but if those good decision makers' decisions are not good, like starting a war, ignoring the poor, doing the robbery, i can't imagine the world. lol

I think left hand or right hand is the same .It's not expression of talent or genius .

hi Xoyyox, I'm a right handed. They say that left handed tend to be artistic while right handed are more logical. I'm not sure about it though. Why would you say you have no talent at all? Aren't you good at anything? many your reasoning ability is very good.

I am right handed, most properly I do my all works with my right hand, and some times I can do my work with left hand too, but its not freequestly.

I'm a left handed person. I don't think that being left-handed can prove to be of more talent than the right handed people. But I am a semi-right handed person, I am left handed when it comes to writing and eating, but for everything else, I am a right hand.. I am ambidextrous when it comes to using the mouse since in our house my brother is right handed while my father and I were left handed so the mouse was transfered from left to right, and almost everywhere the mouse is located at the right side so I learned and now I am almost forgetting house to use the mouse on my left hand.

Hello, XoyyoX!
I am right-handed. I was born like that and raised like that, but I can write (poorly) with my left hand. I'm training it, so I can write with both hands, but for the most I can only use my right hand. I don't think that left-handed people are special nor anything. My brother, for example, doesn't have his right hand, so he had to use his left. I think it's something natural, not something for gifted people. What I found is that left-handed people usually have a beautiful handwritting, but many right-handed also does.
And don't worry, you'll find your talent as soon as you stop looking for it.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

I'm a right-handed person,and i know most of us are right-handed.Very few is born as a left-handed.
Maybe you are right,cause some of friends around me learn to use their left hand,they say it'll be more clever and specific,only scientists can tell us whether it's reasonable.

hi i m a left handed person. no no... sorry i am a right handed person... no no.. basically i use both the hands to do all my work. but again i am more ccomfortable doing a specific thing from a specific hand. so how does your hand affect your brain is still pretty unclear to me.. so use both the hands and enjoy more...
