Which hand do you write with and do you close that eye or the other eye when looking through a lense?

Right handed, throw a ball right handed, hit a baseball and a golf ball right handed, kick a ball right footed (though interestingly, my left foot isn’t as stupid as my left hand). When looking through a camera or a telescope I use my right eye and do close my left. However microscopes are odd. Some have 2 lenses and then I open both eyes just like with binoculars. When target shooting (gun and archery) I keep both eyes open, even if using a scope.

One other thing that seems unique to people is which foot they use first when stepping onto the first step of stairs. I use my right but have known people that use their left.

As for family, we are a bunch of righties.

I am left handed, and left eye dominant so I write and use a telescopes with my left hand
But I use scissors with my right hand and swing a golf club right handed.

I don’t know which foot I step with first. I’il have to check when I am not thinking about it. (That might be difficult. )

Ambidextrous on most physical activity items. I always trained myself that way for cage fighting.
Distance items like target shooting is right eye dominant. Close items is left eye dominant.

My mom is lefty, so I might not have the righty dominant gene. I am right handed, right eye dominant, I knee up on diving boards with my left knee up, I cartwheel left and spin left (I think those are usually lefty traits). If I was setting up for a race I would have my left foot forward to step out first with my right.

@LuckyGuy If you knee up on a diving board, which knee?

I’m right handed. I do everything with my right hand. But I’m left eye dominant. I use my left eye exclusively when looking through microscopes, binoculars, cameras, etc.

I never look through both eyes at the same time. I can’t no matter how hard I try. But I still achieve a kind of stereoscopic vision by constantly and unconsciously going back and forth between left and right eyes.

I don’t know if this is relevant but my Father was left handed.

Right handed and right eye dominant. I kick with my right foot but it’s a coin toss which foot I lead with when I start walking. Being a musician I can do some pretty intricate things with my left hand but I am by no means ambidextrous. I believe that it is actually a myth and nobody is naturally ambidextrous unless there has been some sort of brain trauma or deliberate, intensive training. I also think left-right brain dominance is a myth also. Our minds are vastly more complex than this and it’s just too simplistic of a view to be true. While I do think handedness is mostly if not entirely genetic, it’s hard to pin down based on genes alone because like eye color, this is complex.

Funny you ask. I have an eye doctor appointment next week.

I am right handed. But my left eye has always been stronger/better than my right eye, so when I am looking through binoculars or a microscope, I favor the left eye.

I’m strange un that way.

Ambidextrous:
play baseball left handed but strong switch hitter
write right handed since (1st grade retrained by teacher)
play tennis and ping-pong right handed
shoot rifle both
microscope left eye but can use right
hand tools like screwdriver or wrenches both
golf prefer left handed clubs but use 9 Iron right handed sometimes (longtime ago)
can wink either eye.

I am right handed and right eyed.

@elbanditoroso I often use my left eye when using an old fashioned camera or a microscope, but when I do that “test” of looking at an object through a triangle of my fingers, it’s my left eye that shifts it out of the triangle. I remember when I learned to shoot a gun I naturally wanted to use the wrong eye, but the man giving me instruction told me I had to use my right eye if I fire with my right hand, so I just followed his instruction.

I am all around right dominant: throwing, writing, batting, swatting, looking through a lens.

Same as @seawulf575, all righties.

This is what I read about right handed gene and no real left handed gene. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-causes-some-people-t/#:~:text=The%20D%20gene%20is%20more,in%20the%20majority%20of%20humans.

I don’t like that it implies all lefties could be righties. Interesting though, that maybe lefties would be more likely to do somethings left and some right. Also, righties without the righty gene might also do some things left and some right.

I have a feeling it’s more complicated than just two genes.

Plus, the eye dominance, does that develop when we are babies, or we are born with one eye dominant?

@JLeslie In the Army I qualified expert with the M16 and was on a competitive rifle team. I was very good at quickly repeatedly hitting a human silhouette at 400 meters.
I held the M16 on my right side (pulled the tiger with my right hand) and aimed with my left eye.

I am right hand and right eye dominant, use right eye for cameras, kick and bowl right, lead with my right when walking or climbing stairs. My mother and sister are right-handed, my father and brother are left-handed. If you don’t know which eye is dominant, point at a small object across the room, then check with each eye closed to see which is more accurate.

I’m cross-dominant: right-handed, left-eyed. My father told me to “shoot” my index finger at a nearby target (such as an item across the room) with both eyes open. Then close each eye in turn to see which one got it. It was always my left eye. So in archery class I had to shoot left-handed.

I do not need to close an eye to look through a monocular lens. I am right handed.

@JLeslie I just tried knee up and I grabbed the left knee.

Right-handed, but lead with my left leg when climbing stairs and kneeling.

Here’s how you determine your dominant eye:

https://www.allaboutvision.com/resources/dominant-eye-test.htm#Dominant%20Eye%20Test

It also has a segment about shotting and dominant eye.

Ooh, I put my left leg down when on one knee.

Mostly right handed, and right eyed,but for some strange reason I brush my teeth with my left hand.

I am right handed and right eyed even though my right eye is not as strong as my left. I am due a visit to my optician.

@SQUEEKY2 Are you serious?? That’s too funny!

Left handed, left eye dominant.

Things I do left handed: write, eat with a fork or spoon, crochet, chop/use a chef’s knife, wash dishes, scrape out a mixing bowl, vacuum, crack an egg, use tongs, scroll on my ipad or phone, hold a measuring cup, pour anything that needs to be measured, whisk.

Things I do right handed: use scissors, golf, bat, tennis, throw a ball, knit, use a vegetable peeler or paring knife.

Things I do with either hand: frost a cake (left handed is easier), rake, shovel, use a remote control.

I tend to start with my left foot when walking or going up stairs. Going down stairs is either or.

I genuflect with my right knee.
