I Learned from College that I'm a Fake

I took up a course in the paramedical field. I am both a BS Medical Technology and BS Nursing graduate. During our Psychology subject at school, the professor asked those who were left-handed to stand up. I stood up along with some four others. Our Prof had us fall in line. Then one after the other, we were asked to walk from a stand still position. When we were seated, the professor said that among us five left-handed students, I was a fake. Meaning, I wasn't fully like that, a left-handed individual. Why, we all asked wondering. He said that the genuine left-handed would always start walking with his or her left foot doing the first step. After our class, I got curious, I stood up and started walking. Indeed, I would always start putting my right foot forward first. Any left-handed person here @mylot who would want try the test to see if you're also a fake like me or a genuine one?

I am not a left hander, so i don't know about this. You shared a great information to test about left users. Hope mylotters will do this test to find out them.

Indeed, it's a good thing to know information like this one. It's one way we get to discover more about ourselves.

Wow, I never heard of that. I cannot actually participate in this test because I am right-handed. I have 2 brothers who are left-handed. I will try this experiment on them.

Haha! Do that without them knowing why at first so that they will not fake their reaction. It can be funny. Well, it's good to discover our own individuality through information like this one.

Thank you for sharing this information. I always like this subject and Sociology when I was in College. I am not a left handed person but I will try if I would start walking using my right foot or my left foot. Maybe I am a fake right handed person, is there such thing? Just kidding. My brother is left handed so I should try this when I see him. I hope you'll share more information to us.

Im a righty through and through, I always walk with my right, it makes sense that we'd favour the same side for our entire body. anyway this is pretty cool!
