Right Brain theory

Thanks for the interesting post. To the best of my knowledge, this applies only to right-handers. Since this theory worked for you, I'd be surprised if you yourself are not right-handed. Unless brain scans and more recent science show otherwise, we don't know what part of the brain lefties like Michaelangelo use. Apparently it's not a simple matter of reversal. I don't know whether the percentage of left-handed painters is about the same as the general population.

And then there's the mixed-handed person who, for example, writes left-handed and throws right-handed, like I do, and like my younger brother who writes right-handed and throws left-handed. He's probably just trying to be different! He and I are each able to do things "wrong-handed" when necessary more easily than true left/right-handers. Playing tennis left-handed has given me an advantage over the years; batting left-handed helped my brother. Come to think of it, he and I could have both learned to play tennis with two forehands and no backhand like Luke Jensen. BTW, mixed-handers are usually counted as left-handed ("not right-handed") in statistical surveys.

And finally, I'd bet that the truly ambidextrous person views all the rest of us as sadly one-dimensional!
