Left-handedness and INFJ

yep

I'm left handed, and I know another INFJ male lefty.

Interesting thought.

 

I write with my right hand, but I do everything else (lifting, carrying etc) with my left hand, because it feels steadier XD

 

My left hand used to be fairly equal to my right hand, but I decided to pick a hand and go with it. That way, my right hand is even stronger!

 

I'm a right but im god at using my left hand for a lot of things.I use knives with my left hand and throw a frisbee better with it too. I can also write fairly well with my left hand but thats mofe because I keep breaking the fingers on my right hand which makew me write lefty.

 

I'm ambidextrous x_x I don't know male INFJs to date xD

 

The male INFJ friend I have is left handed.

 

I think diplomacy, a strong trait of the idealist, is on the front right of the brain. So, it is possible that a lot of INFJs are left handed because the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body.

 

I'm right handed, right eyed, right head-to-toe. I do think that my language capacity is in my right brain too for the most part, when it is in the left brain for 97% of right handed people.

I have always wondered if being left handed made you more likely to be a T and being right handed made you more likely to be an F. It appears that you are observing the opposite though. I actually don't think that what hand you are affects your personality type, or I wont believe anything until research is done on it.

 

I am a right handed INFJ male, although my left eye is stronger than my right lol. It would seem that I have one trait that is common with most people (being right handed) but have the rare personality type of INFJ

 

I'm right handed though my left hand is steadier than any other right handed person I know. I tend to have a left handed preference for anything fiddlely. I guess if I chose to be, I could become ambidexrous. I think I'm going to try that now. To be honest I only started using my right hand because I observed that everybody else around me was.

I don't know any INFJ males though.

 

I am very much right-handed, although I wish I was a bit more ambidextrous

 

Sorry, right handed. You know, they call them sinistrals because being left handed was some weird kind of bad and sinister thing. I think.

 

Sinistrals huh? I like this title. Yeeeessss

*lefty here*

 

I am ambidextrous.

I write with my right hand because I was taught to in school, and it is faster than writing with my left. Otherwise, I am able to do anything with either hand, but I have noticed that I perform right brained activities, like archery, sword fighting, etc. with my left hand, while I perform left brained activities, like writing, sign language, etc. with my right.

I am also left eye dominant for right brained activities, and vice versa.

Has anyone noticed the disproportionate number of ambidextrous INFJs? Ambidexterity only occurs in less than 1% of the population (just like INFJs). Interesting correlation, I think.

The term sinister acquired the current definition because it was the term for left handers, who had a tremendous advantage when fighting right handers in medieval warfare, and were on many levels considered 'cheaters' because of holding their weapon and shield with 'the wrong hands'.

 

I'm a righty, but I'm probably better at most people than doing things with my left hand. Drummers can't depend on their right hand to do blast beats.

I suck at writing with it, though.

 

I read a statistic somewhere that the more older siblings you have, the more likely you are to be male, left-handed, and/or gay. And stereotypical gay guys are more in touch with their Fness than most... correlation?

I'm confident the first statistic is right, not sure about the second or third.

 

/lefty

 

I'm a third generation lefty. My mom is left handed and so was her dad.

 

Well, I tend to use my right hand, but i'm not completely 'right handed' (and i'm right brained too, so maybe i'm supposed to be a lefty )
