Are you dominant on one side of the body across the board?

Someone posted a link in the left handed thread that dealt with “true lefties”- people who are left hand, left foot and left eye dominant.

I was wondering how common it was to totally left or right side dominant.

Here’s a link for figuring out eye dominance.

Feel free to add in other information, such as throwing with your right hand but writing with your left.

Right handed / left-eye dominant (I shoot left handed)/ no idea how to tell the dominant foot.

Right handed, right eye dominant, and the sole of my right shoe always wears down faster than the left. I don’t know if that’s relevant, though.

Right handed, right eye dominant, and right footed. I learned I was right footed when I sprained my right ankle about ten years ago- it hurt to lead with my right foot when going down stairs and the like, and unless I consciously try not to, that’s what I do.

I’m well-left-of-center politically, though :wink:

Right eye dominant, I do everything with my right hand my right foot. However, when I started lifting weights I noticed that I can lift more with my left hand. Sometimes my right hand catches up, but then my left takes off again. I don’t know why; in everyday situations my left arm certainly feels weaker.

When I was trying to figure out which foot to lead with for snowboarding, the advice was to do a sock slide across the floor like Tom Cruise did in that old movie. Which foot is in front? Or, which foot would you kick a ball with?

I meant to answer before, but I’m left eye, left foot, and right handed. So, I initially thought that being totally one sided would be rare, but decided to find out.

Right-handed, left-eye dominant. I do most things right-handed, but shoot pool lefty. Back in my paintball days, I wish I would have started out shooting left-handed, but eventually going bottom-bottle or with a remote so that I could comfortably get my face behind the marker was my saving grace.

Right handed, right eye dominant, and right footed. Right-everything except for hockey and dealing cards.

It baffles me how I can be left handed in hockey and right handed in golf. How far apart do my hands have to be to switch dominance?

Right everything. The way I was told to test foot dominance was to stand up straight with your feet together, and have someone give you a little shove. Whatever foot you step forward with to catch yourself is your dominant foot/leg (though IIRC, in snowboarding you keep the dominant foot in the back, correct?)

Left eyed, right handed. I’m not sure what footed I am. Most likely right, but I almost always start walking with my left. I think that’s an old habit from marching band.

Right eyed, right handed, left footed. I grip lefty in judo, but take a standard stance in striking sparring so I can kick primarily with my left leg.

Why, yes I am.

I use the mouse with my right hand in GQ, MPSIMS, IMHO, CS, The Pit and GD.

I profusely apologize. I couldn’t resist.

Dominant left hand, left foot, left eye.

But Shirley’s jest reminds me to add that I mouse with my right hand, precisely because it’s something my ‘dumb’ hand can manage perfectly well.

Left handed, right eyed, right footed. I don’t know what that means, if anything.

I’m a lefty through and through.

I’m left side dominant in everything, but I do use a mouse with my right hand.

Just checked, and you’re correct. So, apparently I’m right foot dominant. Also, the foot that stays on the ground when kicking a ball is the dominant foot.

Really? Maybe that’s why I always sucked at soccer…

Although I do know one instance where I used my non-dominant foot, and that was in track & field. I always jumped off of my left foot in the long jump, triple jump, and pole vault.

Right-eye dominant, but I consider myself left-handed. I eat and write with my left hand. I can comfortably use a computer mouse with either hand. But I bowl, throw and bat with my right hand.

Left-eye dominant, right-handed. The foot thing is harder to tell: Since a break many years ago has left my right ankle a little weak, I tend to overcompensate with my left foot/leg.
