Post your handwriting and then someone else on here who knows better analyse it.

:-P

I can't scan but my handwriting is a very jagged version of the kind of handwriting that IS NOT Sloane-girl pen hand but is similar to that often spotted on gastropub blackboards. Sloane girl handwriting features a lower-case e that looks almost like a euro-sign.

g-kit: slightly insecure, issues with follow-through, secretive, love and companionship are important.

You're also not as arty as you'd like to be. Your handwriting is joined up, which shows that you're usually a very analytical person, but your sig. isn't joined up, which shows your want to portray yourself as artistic and insightful.

Along the right lines?

nb I think this is all kinda bullshit.

At least I managed to post it while it was still August.

DEAREST Ms. NBB

Your penmanship is too stylish & legible to go on.

Buh I am SO glad I am not working at thins place anymore. It was only 8 weeks but still long enough to make me wicked insecure.

I think HOOS's is thee most like mine.

I have like 12 different modes of handwriting.

hi-speed (legible only to me)
normal lower-case
normal all-caps
tidy all-caps

hi-speed cursive
tidy (and more awkward looking) cursive

sundry gift card/mixtape/flyer fonts

Yeah, I should be honest - the writing sample I posted above was pretty much my neatest version. If you look at my school stuff or notebooks etc. it's not quite as neat.

since i don't actually expect anyone to be such an expert handwriting analyst to devine this I'll add that I write with my left hand but am actually right-handed.

divine

waht

I learned to write with my left hand but many years later, discovered, while trying to write with my right hand just to see how hard it was, that it was fairly easy and that with about fifteen minutes practice it was as good as the left for writing. Added to that I use to play right-handed when I played tennis as a child, play guitar right-handed, punch right-handed when I'm forced to, point with my right-hand, use scissors right-handedly etc. etc.

you are weird as hell

no i actually think that's pretty common for lefties! either because we're forced to (a lot of things are made for righties) or because whoever taught us to do other stuff was right-handed. i write left-handed but can write with my right hand with above average neatness. i do a bunch of other stuff right-handed too, like using scissors, bowling, batting, etc.

^^ me too

take that gbx we're normal!

I'm lefty and utterly cack as a right-hand user but my dad and sister were/are both ambidexterous.

i still complain about those desks that are built for righties, though. damn those things to hell.

btw u guys did you know that well-over 90% of the population uses their left hemisphere for motor control....including lefties!

which is to say that 'true' lefties are exceedingly rare, and chances are you're not one of them

agreed^^ i write with my left hand but i do almost everything else right handed

some stuff i pulled from my neuro notes, just for general interest:

96% have dominant left hemi
93% of pop is right-handed, 99% of these have dominant left hemi
left-handed people--about 50% have dominant left hemi, some right, some are bilateral

ok so instead of telling him he is weird has hell you should have said you are pretty normal jim

so basically, half of y'all lefties are 'actually' righties.

also, the WADA test: before neurosurgery, pts get injected with sodium amytal in one hemisphere at a time, to determine which hemi is dominant, and seat of, say, the speech centers. good idea, esp with lefties, to nail down precisely ~where~ their like broca's or wernicke's areas are, so you don't accidentally cut them out

but i just made some observations and took some notes and it turns out i brush my teeth and use eating utensils with my left hand and would have trouble doing otherwise xp

i need to get neurosurgery to find out if i'm really a lefty?

yeah, i guess the weird part to me is that ppl learn left-handed writing (which has historically been discouraged), and then suddenly realize years later that it's basically the only left-handed thing they do.

well, you need to get the wada test to determine which hemisphere is dominant, yeah.

i also tooth brush, do hair, apply makeup and cut food with my left hand
am not real leftie?

cuz righties are almost always left-brained, but lefties aren't always right-brained. so if they're gonna CUT ON YR BRAIN, they want to know for sure that they're in the correct neighborhood

The test is usually performed prior to ablative surgery for epilepsy and sometimes prior to tumor resection. The aim is to determine which side of the brain is responsible for certain vital cognitive functions, namely speech and memory. The risk of damaging such structures during surgery can then be assessed, and the need for awake craniotomies can be determined as well.
The Wada test has several interesting side-effects. Drastic personality changes are rarely noted, but disinhibition is common. Also, contralateral hemiplegia, hemineglect and shivering are often seen. During one injection, typically the left hemisphere, the patient will have impaired speech or be completely unable to express or understand language. Although the patient may not be able to talk, sometimes their ability to sing is preserved. This is because music and singing utilizes a different part of the brain than speech and language. Most people with aphasia are able to sing, and even learn new songs (as in the case of Cesero Rota, klawans, 2002). Recovery from the anesthesia is rapid, and EEG recordings and distal grip strength are used to determine when the medication has worn off. Generally, recovery of speech is dysphasic (contains errors in speech or comprehension) after a dominant hemisphere injection. Although generally considered a safe procedure, there are at least minimal risks associated with the angiography procedure used to guide the catheter to the internal carotid artery. As such, efforts to utilize non-invasive means to determine language and memory laterality (e.g. fMRI) are being researched.

neuro is dope imo

ok so a "true" lefty would be a right-brained person?

yeah. this 'true' business is of my own device, btw, but yeah---truly right-brained ppl are rare

gbx can u analyze my handwriting if i post it later (btw i have 5 handwritings)

I think I'm a true-lefty/right-brainer. I do some things right-handed but mostly because I damaged my left arm in an accident as a child and the movement/strength is limited. Everything feels correct left-handed but some things aren't possible (e.g. I can't straighten my left arm fully so I would use my right hand for something like tennis even though I have better 'touch' with my left).

i don't know how to analyze a handwriting!!

They teach you NOTHING in medical school.

I do everything right-handed except writing and playing pool/snooker. (racquet sports, bowling, throwing, playing the guitar badly...all right-handed)

No, wait, I hold my spoon/fork in my left hand when I'm eating, if I'm stirring/chopping, I hold the spoon/knife in my left hand.

I wonder if the "being taught to do something" thing holds true? It might well be. I don't know why I play pool left-handed though.

i'm a confused lefty myself. i would post my handwriting but tbh it's too awful. plus it changes pretty much every time i write.

playing the guitar badly...all right-handed

I do that but I don't think right-handed guitar playing is actually right-handed. I feel that there's more dexterity required on the fret board and therefore feel that all the right-handed people are making things hard for themselves by playing what looks like left-handed to me.
(note: I am absolutely rotten at playing the guitar and this is probably all based on general ignorance of how hard it gets with the picking hand once you get good at it).

I can wiggle my fingers in a fretting manner with both hands, but the act of strumming feels totally wrong when I try to do it with my left hand though.

(I am checking this out now, on my back doorstep, with no guitar, in front of my laptop. If my neighbours looked over the fence, they would think I was mental)

having been awake for >24 hours i was nodding off in class today, but i wasn't going to let a minor matter like that prevent me from taking notes.

not much less legible than my usual handwriting, if i'm honest.

i have entire modules worth of notes that

i like merdeyeux' handwriting

i've stopped writing cursive now, it's almost the same (though more inept) as my grandmother taught in rural ireland a century ago, so i can't imagine it was exactly cutting edge even then

which is no matter since handwriting isn't the sort of thing subject to amelioration through advancing years, but my caffeinated scrawl doesn't do it justice

so now it's just very boring normal writing
