No apologies needed, most don't think of it. As for favoring, I;
-eat with either depending on mood.
-write with my right so I don't smudge but I can write left if I feel the urge, and did so while I was dabbling with Japaneise.
-draw with both at once and/ or in sequence.
-use the mouse with my right usually because it's designed for right-handedness.
-throw left for accuracy and power, but shoot basketballs with either depending on the advantage.
-kick with either depending on where the ball comes from or what step i'm in.
-smoke with either depending on mood.
-use scissors right because most are right-handed.
-drink with either depending on mood, and where the table is in relation to me.

I don't think I 'favor' any one in specific, but my left arm is stronger than my right; roughly 5lbs more grip & lifting.

And now my '2'. I've been busy with work and a few different favors for friends. Monday I moved a boat, and my traps still hurt from lifting that hitch and pulling/carrying the trailor across the yard and out into the back lane to attach it to a truck. Then Tuesday I helped another friend install some shelves in his house. Both of these I did after doing midnight shifts at my new job (payroll loans/Sonic Payday for anyone wondering), so I've been a little too tired to post.


To quote my testcafe results;
Quote:

Your percentage score for the right brain is 28%.
Your percentage score for the left brain is 25%.

You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.
So apparently I am slightly left dominant, and I'm missing a whopping 47% of my brain!

RE: Right or left handed

Here are my test results:

Quote:
Your percentage score for the left brain is 38%.
Your percentage score for the right brain is 36%.

You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the "whole" picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge.
Which means that, so far, I am missing the least amount of my brain, right? LOL

ok, just for analytical sake I made an assumption; that site takes the responces and awards 'points' to 2 different catagories based on how you answer. To check this I simply answered "often" to every question and received the results
Quote:
Your percentage score for the right brain is 50%.
Your percentage score for the left brain is 46%.
then to re-verify I answered every question as 'rarely' and received the results
Quote:
Your percentage score for the left brain is 4%.
Your percentage score for the right brain is 0%.
Leading me to the conclusion that my hypothisis was correct! However, I would also postulate that one or more questions awards/removes 2%-4% to one side for either 'Often or Some' and the other side for 'Occasionally or Rarely'. I think whoever came up with this thinks better of their programming prowess than is warrented.

edit: by these results I can assume IE is slightly more prone to feeling things 'often' while FT&I are more prone to answering 'some' or 'occasionally' respectively

Very good. Yes you are correct. I am not an "Absolutist". I only "occasionally" would use "rare" or "often". :-)

While Irish, being one that openly states the "Absolute" opinion of her god's existence regardless of lacking ANY substance behind it. (yes I know you have stated that there is the possibilty your god myth is such, but you also state you blindly accept anyway)

RE: Right or left handed

Hey, take a chill pill people. I was merely expanding on GAHD's post and how it correlates to Irish's higher overall scoring than ours and her higher level of religious belief (faith based absolutist structure). Irish has stated a number of times that she does and will believe in her god myth no matter what/ lacking any proof. That is an ABSOLUTE statement. GAHD's number show the perhaps the more often you answer with an extreme, rather than moderate, the higher a number you wind up with.

Was that not a correct interpolation?
