I usually use my right hand when I'm doing something. Most especially in hand writing... How about you guys? Where do you put mouse? on your left hand or your right? =) Is it really true that left-handed persons are usually smarter than the latter? You? What can you say about it?

I am Left-handed in writing, usually my left hand is stronger than my right hand. however, I use my right for the mouse on my computer, I've tried using my left hand for my mouse and it feels awkward. I have a daughter that can write with both her hands, she always starts with her left and then switches to her right, after she gets tired of using the left. I'm not so sure about how smart left handed people are, but I can tell you, that left handed people seem to see matters differently than right-handed people.

I'm right handed, and my left hand is pretty much useless to tell you the truth! I can't even eat a bag of crisps properly with it, as they just fall out of my grasp. I know that sounds stupid, but it really isn't that strong. I have wanted to be ambidextrous for a while, so I think that might have to be my project over the summer. But, I don't know how I'd train my other hand to be able to write! I suppose there's nothing better than practice.. so I guess I'll just have to sit and write/draw pictures with my left hand!

I am a left handed person and I love it. Back when I was in high school only a few us we're left handed and who had good writing. People do say that most of the people who are left handed are either smart or artistic. I really have no idea if that is true or not. But my hand writing is really neat and I do arts really good so maybe I can attest to it. My husband and my son are also left handed so we are a family of left handed.

Hihi =)) I'm a right-handeded person. I really envy people who are ambidextrous cos I find them so cool. I have a friend who uses her right hand to write and uses her left hand to hold chopstick to eat. I got difficulty holding a chopstick properly, so I find it so amazing that she can use her left hand to hold a chopstick. I heard that people who are left-handed are more creative but I don't think they are smarter. Cheers o

Most left handed person do have an advantage than the rightee. :) due to the fact that the left brain is where the logic thinking is and the right brain is where the creativeness comes in. as the left brain dominants and as of the left handed person. this person tends to think more and logically decides correctly. that's why most knew that they are smarter than the right. :) I'm a left handed person and it has advantages especially in sports. :) I put the mouse on the right and i am use to it. cause of the standardization of the mouse positioning

I'm an ambidextrous. I can write with both hands. It all started when i was still in preschool. Back then i was a lefty. My tutor would always pinch me or spank me when she sees i'm using my left hand. I learned to write using mt right hand. the thing is, i do everything with my left hand, and i have more power and more control over my left hand than my right. now, i can still write with both hands but it's more legible when i sue my right hand :)

iam right handed...i dont think lefties are smarted than righties...everything is graded by hard work...so it is hard work that determines the smartness of a person and the nature of left handedness or right handedness is no way responsible for it... have a great day

I am ambidextrous, for some things it's more comfortable to use my left hand and others my right. I primarily write with my left hand and keep my computer mouse on the left side (it drives my right handed wife crazy when I use her pc and move the mouse to the left lol). I have a right handed batting and golf stance. I haven't researched it, so I cant say if left handed people are smarter than right handed people, if they are, would that make those of us that are ambidextrous smarter than both? Personaly I doubt a persons inteligence is relative to them being left or right handed.

I'm right handed. I've tried to write with my left hand and it just wont happen at all..my writting is horrible enough as it is, it doesnt need to get any harder to read.. My mouse and everything goes on my right side. Sometimes if the spot where i put my cup has something sitting there, i'll put it on my left and use my left hand to drink, but for the most part its right hand. I THINK everyone in my family is right handed.....as far as i know.

I have always been right-handed. I put the mouse on my desktop to the right (everyone in my home is right-handed) but since my laptop has a touchpad I use both. I think that to say that left-handed people are usually smarter than right-handed is just stupid. Being left or right handed makes you smarter then the other. :)

The thing i know if person is right handed, he/she use left brain. If left handed, right brain is use. If you are stroke half left of your body it means your right brain is damage. I am right handed in writing but i can also write using left hand but it is not nice and fast as i am using my right. I see left handed person when writing and right handed in mouse. It is awkward to use left hand in mouse even you are left handed.

i am right-handed. i have tried to write with my left hand and i just cannot do it. i am always amazed by people who do write with their left hand and love to watch them write because it is something i just cannot do. i can do some things with my left hand but i am most assuredly a right-handed person.

I am right handed, much like pretty everyone else in my family. I must admit though that, ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be either left handed or ambidextrous. Why? I'm not entirely sure. I really haven't figured it out yet. All I really know is that I've wanted to be either left-handed or ambidextrous ever since I was a kid.

i am right handed and so i put my mouse on the right as all my family are right handed, and i dont think that left handed people are smart thats just a stupid idea, i have a friend that is left hand and he isnt that smart his like a normal person and i think i am smarter then him and i am right handed so its just a thing that people make up. anyway happy mylotting.

When I was born I was a right handed. Then when I started school and started writing I switched hands, on my own. My mother could not tell me why I switched, I just did it.. Then a couple years ago I was goofing around with my aunt we were drawing and writing with both of our hands... Then when it came to writing my name with my right hand, I found out that I was writing them backwards... I use both of my hands for a lot of different things, but when it comes to writing I am left handed.. I use my mouse with my right hand.. It comes in handy when I am researching for a topic, I can use my right hand to navigate the website, and write the information down at the same time with my left.. Would I say that I am smarter then a right handed? Nope.. I just do things differently, most things out there are made for right handers, but I have learned how to use the same things.. with either of my hands... Like a scissors, I hate left handed scissors, especially in school, always very dull, and there was only one or two pairs.. not enough for the class, so I would just put my finger in the thumb part and my thumb into the finger part of the right handed scissors.. I would just say that I am more adaptable to situations then right handed people... not smarter!
