Handedness is an attribute that we as humans see as an person favoring one "side" of their body over another. About 85%-92% of humans are right-handed and the theories for why this is the case abound. But we are here to figure out what Handedness YOU are!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Your body

Step 1

Well, what hand are you using right now to mouse around? It's not a full proof way but it's a start. This could also mean that you are either "Mixed handedness" or "Ambidextrous".
Step 2

Throw something! Like a baseball or a pen! Try using both hands and attempt to nail someone!! If you hit that person more while using your left hand then you can pretty much assume you are left handed. Tell the person to move around a bunch too.
Step 3

Eat something and use a utensil. Like eat a bowl of cereal. If milk spills everywhere because you can't get the spoon to your mouth then that is probably not the hand that you are.
Step 4

If none of these steps work and you are as proficient or as terrible with both hands then congratulations! You make up less then 1% of society. Ambidextrous people are rare.
