I think ‘Writing’ should not be considered as the primary
criterion in identifying the ‘handedness’ of a human. Writing is an acquired
skill and it depends on which hand you started training and learnt.
Similarly you can train yourself to write with a specific
hand, do normal chores like brushing, shaving, open door with a specific hand,
etc.
Like the way, I trained myself to eat, shake-hand, serving
food, religious rituals, etc with my right hand.
One’s “natural”, “reflex”, “physical” actions should
distinguish that person as a left-handed or right!
- If I
throw a dagger/stone at you, would you rise your left hand or right hand
to block?
- If I
offer you a bag of apples, will you pick with your left/right?
- When
you sneeze, do you use your left/right hand to cover your nose? In
some cases, this can be trained. I pick my nose with my right hand because
my left hand would be busy most times like writing :-) Just kidding.
- I
set/comb my hair with left hand.
- In an
action that needs strength like using spanner for unscrewing/screwing, do
you use left/right?
Some websites talk about other ways like
- “which
thumb is on up side when you interlock your fingers?”,
- “which
palm is up when you clap while applauding?”,
- “which
hand is up when you hold hands on your back?”
- “with
which eye do you wink?”
I don’t believe in the above stuff.
